Brady Bunch Style Fireplace


Shortly before the start of The Brady Bunch first season in September 1969, this fireplace in an April 1969 episode of "Mannix" was very similar in style to the Bradys.



It appeared later in a September 1969 Mannix episode, but the shuttered partitions were filled in with wall.

Brady Bunch Horse on Mannix



This horse appeared in an episode of Mannix in April 1969. It looks like the Bradys famous horse statue, and I wonder if it's the same one taken out of Paramount storage and painted for the Bradys living room in September 1969.

I Dream Of Jeannie House

The Partridge Family House
Bewitched House

Days later the Bewitched House and Hazel House (aka Lethal Weapon House) were both gone.


The Warner Bros Ranch was built in the 1930s, and perhaps flourished in 1960s and 1970s television but was very active and operational until WB sold it in 2019. 


Below are various screenshots and video from the 60s and 70s, like I Dream Of Jeannie, Police Story, Police Woman, Gidget,  Bewitched, Hazel, Monkees and A Rage To Live, and The Father Knows Best Reunion.























Check out this great video from 80s life on the Warner Brothers Ranch demolition, the top images here are from this video. Also, other users have created videos on the subject on YouTube.
