Bob's grandfather Josh Collins (also played by Bob Cummings) was up in years and lived in Joplin, Missouri (in real life this was Cummings' birthplace). In this scene while Bob is away, Grandpa runs the camera in the photography studio.
Bob lived with his widowed sister Margaret MacDonald (Rosemary DeCamp) and her son Chuck MacDonald (Dwayne Hickman).
Bob's office assistant was Charmaine 'Schultzy' Schultz (Ann B. Davis) who added a lot of fun and comedy to the show. She's pictured here with Grandpa.
This is Ann B. Davis at the 2007 TV Land Awards when "The Brady Bunch" won the Pop Culture Award. Ann played the part of Alice Nelson on the show.
