On The Set of "Going, Going... Steady"

Billy Corcoran

This is a nice look at behind the scenes on The Brady Bunch set. It is interesting to see the camera man, boom mic, cords and the lights (including one in the family room doorway). I  think in order to get a shot of the tall Robert Reed along with two smaller, seated kids, it was necessary to put the kitchen table and chairs on blocks, so they would all fit in the camera frame. The unfinished linoleum on the kitchen floor is interesting. The men at the refrigerator must be Reeds stand in, and the other perhaps a prop guy checking out the fridge. It certainly takes away the illusion and homey feel of the Brady house, and shows the workplace it really was.
