Trivia:

Several episodes of the series contained recycled plots from the earlier series "My Three Sons" (1960): "Katchoo" (episode 1.5) from "Tramp or Ernie" (7.13), "The Winner" (2.21) from "A Hunk of Hardware" (6.29), and "Two Petes in a Pod" (5.18) from "The Wrong Robbie" (6.30).

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Each time the front of the Brady house is shown as though it were "evening", the same shot is used for "daytime". The evening shot of the house is only darkened. The same shadow that can be seen in the daytime shot in the lower right corner (caused by the roof) is seen on the evening shot.

Quotes:

[Carol walks into Mike's den to show off her new ensemble for their weekend vacation at a dude ranch]
Carol Ann Brady: What are you going to wear, Mike?
Michael 'Mike' Brady: Oh I don't know... my cowboy boots...
Carol Ann Brady: [in her best John Wayne impression] Well ya better wear somethin' else, or you're gonna get arrested!
Michael 'Mike' Brady: Not to mention sunburn!

Theme from 'The Brady Bunch'

This is a great show

I love this show. These days its so hard to see a show that is clean and funny. I love seeing the outfits of the sixties and hearing them say 'groovy' and 'far out'. I guess the people that were alive back then wouldnt find it entertaining, but I was born nineteen years after the show first aired, and I love the Brady Bunch. I want Alice to come and be my housekeeper!
