Plan For The Brady Bunch Season 6

It's no wonder everyone was so caught off guard by the cancellation of The Brady Bunch.  Though never a ratings hit, it held steady, and the network was considering moving the show to Sunday nights, opposite The Wonderful World of Disney, for Season 6.

Mrs. Muir Also Had No Toilet

Because of censorship, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, like The Brady Bunch, which also aired on ABC in the Fall of 1969, had no toilet in their bathroom.

The Mondrian Inspired Glass

A lot of people don't realize that these colored blocks were supposed glass that often changed in levels of brightness, according to what time of day it was in Bradyland.







In these poor quality screencaps it isn't as pronounced, but it's quite clear in A Very Brady Christmas where Mike had gone ahead and replaced them with glass window blocks.

The HGTV Renovation cut these perfectly colored blocks and applied them to the area.

Mike & Carol Are Often Mistakenly Credited with Being the First TV Couple to Share a Bed

Bewitched 1964
Green Acres 1965
The Munsters 1964
The Flintstones 1965
Good Morning World 1967
My Three Sons 1968
1969

This may have been an easy mistake to make because Robert Reed and Florence Henderson seemed to have more scenes in bed together than most other TV Couples. I am guessing this is because of their exceptional chemistry. But there was also a practical reason. Working with six minors who legally had shorter work days, production could continue filming an episode without any of the kids.
