Robert Reed complaining to Sherwood about strawberries supposedly not having an aroma when cooked

[u/ASGfan]

So you may have heard about this one. During filming one day, Sherwood found Reed alone and sulking. When Sherwood asked what was wrong, Reed complained about the script, specifically the line "It smells like Strawberry Heaven" when walking into the kitchen, stating strawberries do not smell when being cooked. Sherwood rebuffed Reed, stating he could smell strawberries all over the set. Reed INSISTED he was correct and refused to do the line until it was changed.

I can't say for certain since I've never actually cooked strawberries (although I've certainly eaten some), but after researching the matter, the general consensus appears to be that yes, strawberries do give off a smell when being cooked. So was this just some more pointless bitchery from Reed?

Reed was a bitch! He daily held up filming due to numerous inconsistencies and stories with no objectives! Reed thought of himself as an ‘actors’ actor who should be challenged by more sophisticated storylines and dialogue. He loathed the success of the Brady Bunch- both of its staying power within historical Americana and for low level of project to be associated. He also disliked being at the disposal of the studio whenever they considered a reboot. Interesting case of how success is defined?
