Editing on "Cindy Brady, Lady"

Mike and Carol come home and notice Tommy Jamison in their backyard.
They go into the family room to talk to Bobby about this.
Tommy comes to the door.
Bobby sees him, and goes to the door.
Suddenly Mike and Carol have disappeared.
Bobby speaks to Tommy.
Bobby returns to Mike and Carol, who have reappeared.

So!  All the backyard scenes with Tommy were done when Robert and Florence were not there. It is odd that they, as parents, never talk to, or acknowledge the boy. Perhaps, the actor, Eric Shea, never even met them. 

Though this is all the same scene, Mike Lookinland films all his parts with Tommy on one day, then another day or time, the patio sliders and walls are taken out, and he does all the parts of the scene with Florence and Robert.

Christopher Olsen on "Cheyenne"




Susan Olsen's brother Chris was in this 1957 episode of Cheyenne

In these shots,  the little boy is in charge of loading the pistols for Cheyenne, who is too busy shooting and killing a couple of guys to do it himself.

Clint Walker, who played Cheyenne, later was in a 1983 Love Boat episode with Robert Reed

Editing on “The Wheeler Dealer"

Greg brings home an old clunker of a car, and the sound of the broken horn is so loud, the family rushes out to see what is causing the commotion. But none of them ever goes close to the car! 






The scene isn't short, and there is a lot of dialogue This is the first time he brought a car home, yet no one goes to it. Clearly these shots were done at different times, or even different days, and it’s interesting to see the editing that was done, usually it all is pretty smooth and you can’t discern what the shooting schedule might have looked like.

The Bewitched Set After Cancellation

After Bewitched was cancelled in 1972, Screen Gems was renamed Columbia Pictures Television. They produced Police Story, Police Woman, and Gidget's Summer Reunion. These are screen captures and video from episodes where they used part of the refurbished Bewitched set.



(The I Dream Of Jeannie House and Partridge Family exteriors are seen in this last clip on The Warned Bros Ranch)










In many shots, you see the closet built into the stair case and the door with the 3 squares.










This Police Woman episode gave a rare POV from up the stairs of The Bewitched set
