Guess Who's Coming to Dinner br 1st Aired Week of 91485 br br The Lawsons' neighbors, the obnoxiously idiotic Brindles, discover Vicki while barging in to “borrow” the Lawsons' frig and threaten to stumble over her secret. Notable scene: Vicki back-talking to Ted (foreshadowing Vanessa!) and Vicki's berserk encounter with "Rodney," a Heathkit toy robot. br br This episode introduces snoopy (and not particularly well liked by fans) Brandon and Bonnie Brindle. One must strongly consider nepotism, what with Brandon being Ted's boss. A Vicki pinafore upgrade, refinement of her (its?) trademark rolled ponytail and a new robotic lightbox [back panel] which will evolve through three generations in the series.
