The Brady Bunch - Don't Crush the Egg!

[@johnnyzeee5215]

At some point in the later episodes, they must have switched from Chrysler to Chevy as a sponsor, and used their cars. In the early episodes, Mike' s convertible and Carol's family station wagon were that year's Dodge and Plymouth models.

Notice how times have changed? 1:16 "Anyone who knocks the egg off the pylon is a LOSER." See being called a loser as a kid when you didn't win was a character building thing!

[@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398]

The cartoon "Lassie" as well as a bunch of cartoons made by the same production company recycled their music soundtracks repeatedly.

[@David-gv3wx]

For those of you wondering why Greg is wearing a jacket, this episode aired on January 11, 1974, which means it was likely shot in late November of 1973 so it's possible that it was a little "chilly" outside (for LA...maybe lower to upper 50s). This scene was obviously shot on the Paramount Studios lot as there are various visual giveaways in this scene. There's a continuity error too. Watch at 4:12, there are no cars parked behind Mike Brady. At 4:15, there are two cars (one is a cream-colored wagon). Interestingly, Marcia hands Greg her new driver's licence and her vitals are typed on it. Hair: Blond. Eyes: Blue. Marcia's birth date was listed as 8-5-56 (her real birthday) and her height and weight are listed as 5'3" and 96lbs. Her address is 4222 Clinton Way, City (haha). The date on the license is Jan. 15, 1974 (even though this aired on Jan. 11, 1974).

[@msr1116]

In their podcasts, Barry and Chris point out a number of errors that took place, which they're now noticing as they watch episodes with an analytical eye. Writers, film editors and the production crew weren't all on the same page---sometimes accidentally.....and at other times intentionally to suit a particular storyline, avoid an expensive reshoot, or stay within time constraints.

[@billbright1755]

The old 🥚 egg on the cone test,,, they’ll give anyone a drivers license. That funky groove tune threw Greg off his game. He cracked under all the pressure. If y’all gonna make an omelette, ya gotta crack some eggs. That car would be the world’s best parade car in that mint condition. 73 Caprice. Why did ladies stop wearing such lovely dresses?
