Monty Margetts was the original choice to play Alice. When Joyce Bulifant was replaced by Florence Henderson to play Carol- literally three days before the shooting of the pilot - they replaced Monty Margetts with Ann B Davis as well. This was because the producers felt they needed a comic character to play the housekeeper to balance out the serious mother. Margetts was not considered a comedian.
