> [@Grotonian](#): > > I read somewhere that one “controversial” element was that Mike was a widower but Carol was divorced. Was her ex, ie the girls’ biological father, ever mentioned? The movie reboot from the 90s said Carol’s ex was the professor from Gilligan’s Island. ---

I think it was in the first season, with Greg intentionally failing math because he wanted to spend more time with his math teacher. At the end of the episode, Mike introduces Greg to the teacher’s boyfriend/fiance - Wes Parker - who says that he’ll give Greg 2 tickets to the Dodgers’ opening game if he gets an A in math. > [@No\_Me\_Ayudes\_Compadre](#): > > 4222 Clinton Avenue, except that Carol once called it Clinton Way. In the “Jan’s locket” episode, the envelope says, “Jan Brady, 4222 Clinton Way, City.” (Yes, just “City”, and it was a clue; Peter pointed out, “If it just says ‘City’, then it’s mailed from the same city.”) This was intentional, as it had to have a Y in each line to show that the typewriter used had its Y striker misaligned. > [@Locrian](#): > > I believe Bobby said “Who goes there?” before Peter said “Hark!” Jan said “Hark” before Peter said “Who Goes There?” - or was it the other way around? ---

> [@Amateur\_Barbarian](#): > > Not in the original series. I think he might have shown up in one of the successor series, and IIRC it was a major plot point in the first movie. > > But you’re right in general: the daring divorced women of 1970s TV had invisible exes. Kind of like how Tony Randall’s “Sidney” was daringly gay… because they quietly said so about every fourth episode. Thanks. That explains where I thought he was referenced; I saw the 90’s movies.
