    This video mentioned that Robert Reed took the cast to London but didn't say why. In a special done with the cast after Reed's death I think about 20 years ago, they mentioned that Robert Reed really wanted to be a Shakespearean actor and loved that form of theater, but of course his success brought him to a different line of work. his passion was so great that he wanted to share it with the cast. That's why they went to London. I think that's a pretty awesome fact worth knowing.

    I got to be friends with Susan Olsen. Shortly after I met her, I went back and watched the shows and noticed she wasn't even in one (2nd season). I asked her why and her answer surprised me. During the Second season, the producers wanted to save money. So, for a number of the shows in that season, one kid would not be in the episode! They didn't save any money, and the idea was scrapped. Now, you can do what I did, rewatch the second season to see which kid wasn't in the episode.

She always wore a uniform, called them Mr and Mrs Brady, she never even ate a meal with them. She was more or less the comic relief in the show.

      I believe the name of the book was Growing Up Brady. It was written by the oldest boy.
      At one point, Robert Reed, who played the father, took the kids on a trip to England on the summer off from the TV show (and school). They traveled on the ocean liner QE2 to go and come back. "Greg" saw his opportunity to tap "Marcia". He convinced Eve Plumb (who played Jan) to leave Marcia alone in the cabin. So, Eve leaves and Greg comes in. He spooned up against "Marcia" who angrily said "Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?"
      You should read the story about the date with his TV mom (Florence Henderson).

The car would HAVE to be on or motor running(electric window needs power) for the dog to let the window down.Pretty cruel to keep the dog in a closed car in California,don't you think? Oh-and 3rd the window crank is for the vent(triangle looking glass).Many cars produced up to early '90's had them.Like the '91 Ford Crown Vic,Mercury Marquis.But,on the '68 Dodge in that episode it was standard equipment.By the '70's they weren't very popular anymore due to more cars getting a/c.So,there you have it.

    Little known fact, there was a time the producers were considering making the show more culturally relevant to the late sixties, early seventies. A rarely aired episode involved Greg getting ahold of some LSD, bringing it home and leaving it on the kitchen counter. Unbeknownst to him Alice was preparing to make her signature meatloaf and seeing the small envelope which was labeled “spicy,” she dumped it into the bowl along with the meat, lard etc. Of course craziness ensues as the whole gang, including the dog Tiger, having consumed a healthy portion of her delicacy, literally went “wild!” At one point the boys tied up Alice with rope and chains, and shoved her into the little clubhouse in the back, While Tiger ravenously licked her feet. The rest were involved in a potato sack race (with very little on which is partly why they don’t air it much, along with the hard drug use). Most haven’t seen it due to it clearly being far to risqué and didn’t test well with a limited viewing by a test audience. So crazy!
    The funniest takeaway was that the band “Alice in Chains,” actually got the name of their band from this unique episode, which one of the band members happened to have seen (when he himself was “under the influence.”

But there is one episode, The Brady Bunch: Goodbye, Alice, Hello (1972), that is considered too racy to be shown in its entirety in syndication. In one scene, Bobby and Cindy, both wearing bathrobes, standing in the kitchen and talking to Alice, plead with her for permission to go to a skinny dipping party at their friend's house (Mike and Carol are preoccupied with other issues for some reason, and are not part of the conversation). Alice refuses, saying no Brady kid will go to "some x-rated party in their birthday suit" if she can help it. The scene routinely gets edited out when it's shown in syndication, due to the suggestive subject matter."

    From what I've read, Chris Knight was never supposed to throw the football at Maureen McCormick. As the show was filmed w/ just 1 camera, Chris wasn't even on set when Maureen was hit w/ the football. Lloyd Schwartz, not Sherwood, wrote that he threw the football, a soft Nerf-type ball, at Maureen's nose.
    Florence Henderson was cast before Ann B. Davis, from what I've read & heard. Sherwood Schwartz decided that Florence Henderson was more real as Carol than Joyce Bulifant, so she won the role. After this casting, Monty Margatts, who was a more serious type of actress, was to play Alice, but when Florence Henderson was cast, Sherwood decided on a more comical maid, so he cast Ann B. Davis as Alice.
    The pilot was originally named YOURS AND MINE (no OURS included). When the movie, "Yours, Mine & Ours" was released in 1968 and was successful, ABC was convinced to make the pilot then schedule the series.

    They did not "give up" on the idea of the Bradys having a family dog for well over a year. After the original Tiger was hit by a car, they tried SEVERAL different Tigers (According to some sources...). Tiger continued to appear in shows (Approx. 6 or 7) until well into the second season. Then, he joined Fluffy, Myron, the parakeet, Old Croaker, Spunker, Raquel, and Romeo and Juliet in the great Brady pet cemetery in the sky...

    I remember the scene at 3:31 where Tiger rolls the window down to get out of the car. This was mentioned as a mistake in the Nick-at-Night where the car had the turning knobs to roll down the window even though Tiger used the electric window section to roll it down. The station corrected Nick-at-Night by saying THAT car had the option of both in which Nick-at-Night replied with an apology yet replied with it still being a goof since the car was turned off and the electric windows could only be active with the car on. I don't remember why I remember that part so well though. **sigh**

    You forgot one thing. Mike Lookinland, who portrayed Bobby Brady, had sandy colored wavy hair, but the producers dyed his hair dark brown and straightened it so it would match Greg and Peter's hair, whose hair collectively was naturally dark brown. Just thought I'd point this out.
