The Brady Bunch - Television-itis

[@jamesr1703]

At 9 years old, this is how I learned the capitol of Louisiana and have never forgotten it.

[@juliam6489]

Literally my family will be talking abt some random person and I’m like “he was in the Brady bunch” and they are like “yes he was” like Johnny bravo for example is on heads up and whenever he appears we’re always like “Greg Brady!”

I have such an ironic take on this: A) In another episode, Cindy asks Marcia for a favor and she says, " Sorry, Cindy. I have a date with Doug Williams." B) Super Bowl XXII MVP Doug Williams was born in Baton Rouge, LA C) Williams and Maureen McCormick were born in August in the mid-1950s (McCormick-Aug. 5, 1956; Williams-Aug. 9, 1955)

[@girliboi]

i noticed everybody's eyes seem that way on this show (guest stars, friends, boyfriends, etc).. i don't remember hearing anything about the episodes being "enhanced" (i doubt that much post-production time/money ever went into them), but Susan did say that "white filmed green" in tv productions during that era and that they would consequently substitute a light grey for a true white whenever possible, so i'm guessing either the lighting required at the time caused colors to distort/brighten on camera, or else maybe something with the film stock they used.

[@drewgrows7765]

You are in the UK right

[@40Kens]

Yes - un-enhanced. The directors or film people may of retouched the negatives - not needed! And their eyes were not enhanced all the time. After all cindy was young and at that age, her eyes were bright/colorful as most kids were. I am guessing that the average TV was 25 inches measured diagonally. And the contrast and brightness of these sets were marginal. So, a little enhancement was done now and then along with bright studio lights. My theory anyway. Also assuming physical enhancements were not done - but possible thru drugs/chemicals? contacts?
