The exterior shots of the house show the upstairs reversed. The higher part should be on the right side of the screen, not the left.

In the first episode, the minister calls Mr. Brady 'Michael Paul', but we later find out his middle name is something else.

In the episode where the kids are building a house of cards, Jan's hair is loose when shot from the side, but pulled back into a ponytail when shot from the front.

In the trampoline episode, Mrs. Brady twice calls two of the kids by their real names.

In the episode where Mrs. Brady is in the car crash and taken to court, Cindy and Bobby apparently fight because Bobby spilled ice cream on Cindy. Cindy says: "He spilled ice cream on my dress!" But at the beginning of the episode when they get out of the car, she didn't have any ice cream on her and she wasn't wearing a dress.

In the episode Greg where wants his own room, before the parents decide on the den, his mother suggests the attic. His father laughs and says: "Fine, if Greg were two-and-a-half feet tall!", indicating it's a low attic. In a later episode Greg DOES move into the attic and has plenty of room.

When Peter's voice is cracking, Mrs. Brady asks Alice when Greg's voice started to change, clearly meaning she wasn't around at the time. Alice says around thirteen, but when Greg was fourteen AND the family was all together, his voice still hadn't changed.

You are so right about jans hair when they are building the house of cards when her hair is loose from the side view and in a ponytail from the front view.I saw the episode last night and was going to post it until i saw you had already posted it.I also noticed that when i saw the episode in the past so great minds think alike. Phlflip.

Just a few comments on some of the goofs ...thought you might find these tidbits interesting...

Yes, in the pilot, Mike's middle name was "Paul". But later, when
he runs for city council or something (after the Brady Bunch, I think it was during "The Bradys") his name is announced as Michael "Thomas" Brady.
And, apparently, Sherwood Schwarz's office received dozens of letters pointing out the goof.

In the house of cards episode, a couple of cameras were used to film the scenes from different angles. In addition to Jan's hair, Marcia can be seen holding her bracelet (in an attempt to keep it from knocking
down the cards) in one camera angle, and when the camera angles switch, the bracelet is dangling and the hand that was holding it is now down at her side.

In the trampouline episode, in addition to Carol calling Peter "Chris", Barry Williams can be heard saying to Jan,"Why don't you give it a try, Eve?". But you have to listen carefully, as there is a lot of chatter going on at the time... You can hear him say "Eve" pretty clearly, so just rewind the tape from that point and listen for it.

In the Joe Namath episode, when Bobby is telling his friends (in the beginning of the show) about knowing Namath, Cindy is walking by carrying a pail toward the garage...it's a big bulky pail, you can't miss it...but when the camera switches to another angle, she's no longer holding the pail. Saw this on "Pop Up Brady".

I love finding out about goofs like that...I think it's funny when you know what to look for.

In the pilot eposide when the boys are sitting down eating breakfast. When the camera is first on Greg his hair is parted on the left side and he's eating his cerel with his left hand. The next time the camera's on Greg his hair is parted on the right side and he's eating with his right hand. I don't really thing this was a blooper just an air with the camera.

Interesting point, Kathleen...I hadn't heard about or noticed that one yet. Have to try to catch it next time. But you could be right, could have been that the negative was reversed or something when they developed the film. You folks out there never cease to amaze me with the goofs y'all spot. I've never caught anything like that on my own.

In the episode where Bobby is on the "Kartoon King" show to compete in the ice cream-eating contest, Carol and Mike take him to the studio in the station wagon, but return home in the convertible (or the other way around).

In the Tattletale episode Cindy comes down the stairs in her pajamas and asks if anyone is going to kiss her goodnight. Her dad then has a talk with her about not tatteling anymore. In the next scene Cindy is wearing street clothes when she enters her bedroom and Marcia and Jan ask what happened downstairs.

blackbiped · 09-07-2001, 01:54 AM

One of my favorites is the episode where Cindy and her boyfriend are standing in the kitchen talking to Alice. Susan Olsen thought they were just rehearsing the scene so when she walks off-camera she makes a stupid face.

ficlopri · 09-09-2001, 12:34 AM

Remember in the ep when they (the Brady kids) sing on tv as The Silver Platters. When they are singing for try outs I think they all bow their heads but you still they still hear their voices singing. They were lip-synching to their own voices and it's obvious. I caught that one all by myself.

Frank · 09-14-2001, 04:48 PM

how is that a mistake? they had microphones...
but the thing that makes you know that they're lip syncing is that the song fades out! lol!

Also in the ice cream-eating contest episode, Bobby is alone in the family room watching the Kartoon King show. As he learns about the contest, the Kartoon King asks the viewers if they like chocolate ice cream. Bobby says "Bleech" out loud as if he hates that particular flavor. However, the flavor he is shown eating during the contest is none other than chocolate.

I realize that this post was made back in 2001, but hey, since this thread is back, here are pics of Cindy downstairs talking to Mike and Carol, and then a few moments later when she enters the girls' bedroom:

FYI the "Cartoon King" is none other than "Otis Cambell" the town drunk on TAGS

Has anyone noticed the sliding glass door leading to the family room where the TV is has no glass in it what so ever ??

Sam the butcher tries to close that door and he almost grabs the wrong side of the door where the glass is supposed to be.
