Brady-ish Horses

Bewitched 1966

My Three Sons 1972

The Beverly Hillbillies 1966

I am guessing all these similar versions of The Brady Bunch horse indicate that they were wide spread, maybe cheaply made props, in line with the equestrian theme that was present in lots of mid-century decor.

Peter Brady and Jeannie Reading the Same Prop Magazine



These shows were from different studios, and these photos are about 4 years apart.
(1969 I Dream Of Jeannie episode) So, I am guessing it is not the same magazine, but a generic industry prop cover. The cover was still around Paramount in 1981 and was used in The Brady Girls Get Married.

Some additional information about this prop was posted here 





Also used by Doris Singleton in a 1970 episode of "My Three Sons", and at Ike Godsey's general store on The Waltons in 1980.
Also, in a 1967 episode of "Mannix" (below)

Retro Ballet Decor

The Brady's home was no stranger to 50s and 60s themes, and decor. Despite the cool, mod built 1969 set, it was decorated with relics tied to a former era, like the Degas ballet print in Mike and Carol's bedroom.  What cool, young couple didn't love a work by Degas hanging in their home?
