comercial break bumpers

I remember hearing that in later seasons during the comercial break, they had a bumper saying The Brady Bunch will be back. What season did this start and hopefully they'll be on the dvd sets when they come out.

Those bumpers were on all the seasons, and were even left in the prints for the first syndication cycle in the 70s. During the first two seasons, after the squares filled in and faded out after the last scene (before the tag), the squares would come back again all at once, with an announcer (or, in season two, one of the kids) saying "'The Brady Bunch' will return in a moment". Starting with season 3, this "reappearance" of the grid was replaced with a still photo of the cast on the stairs, similar to the one used for the "IN COLOR" bumpers of the first two seasons. Whichever kid was the focus of that episode would get to say, "'The Brady Bunch' will return in a moment." For the last season still photo, the cast was sitting on the landing at the bottom of the stairs, rather than standing on the stairs

I'd love to see these again, but I don't have much hope -- if they're not on the season 1 DVD, then they probably won't be on the others. And they weren't on the Columbia House VHS releases, either.
