Short Cuts
Long Shot
Close-up
It's interesting to see how they fake The Brady 4th wall in Robert Reed's close-up in a dining room scene in "The Private Ear". In the long shot, he would have a wall, not the dining room curtain behind him. Then, as a splash to fill out the frame, they put in two empty dining room chairs behind him, while clearly all 8 seats are being used.

Recycled Brady Set Decor
Before moving permanently into the Bradys home in 1969, these stock Paramount set decorations were used in a 1965 episode of "My Three Sons". It was filmed at Desilu/Paramount for its first seven seasons before moving to CBS/Radford in Studio City.
Later, it was used in this 1968 episode of "Mission: Impossible"
Another Early Appearance by The Brady Curio Cabinet
The Bradys' curio cabinet made a lot of television appearances prior to moving into the Brady home in 1969. Here is one in a My Three Sons episode in 1965. The episode also featured Kym Karath who later played Kerry in "Cyrano de Brady"

The Brady Kids
Next time you see this on Facebook, check out this watermark. Seeing this again recently reminded me that Ebay marked all their images with this mark when I posted this back in 2011. I'm not sure why they did, they don't do it anymore
The Brady Bunch Cast
This photo was recently used by Facebook groups again, you'll see it on there. I like this shot, part of a whole day of publicity photos the cast did at Griffith Park at Travel Town Train Museum. It was first posted in 2013! I met Susan at a Hollywood Collectors Show and was thrilled to get her to sign it, she was great.

Barry Williams in Brady Bunch Pilot
Barry Williams first close-up is inverted in the pilot. It's so odd. I don't know much about editing film back then, if it could be an accidental, reversal of the actual frames of film, or what.

The Brady Kids
I always enjoyed this photo from a 2013 post. Seeing it again recently reminded me that it came from “The Brady Bunch E! True Hollywood Story”. I had saved it for years on VHS and finally transferred it to MP3. I edited out the E! logo in the lower right hand corner and you can see the VHS tracking lines on the bottom! Would love to see clean copy of this if anyone has one.

Barry Williams Recreated His Autograph Seeker Role
After playing an autograph-seeking boy in "That Girl", Barry Williams played an autograph-seeking boy in "Gomer Pyle". (Sergeant Carter was appearing in a movie for some contrived reason)
Both episodes were filmed at Paramount Studios in 1968, just before the Brady Bunch pilot was filmed. John Rich, who directed the Brady pilot, also directed this Gomer Pyle episode.
