Why was the same opening used for seasons 2 and 3? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was wondering whu they used the same opening squares and pictures in both seasons 2 and 3. Was it because they didn't have time or money to do a new one for season 3 as the kids dveloped quite a bit more from one season to the next.

Maybe cause Robert went into hiding and they just decided to use the same one?

Seriously, maybe they wanted to save money.. not sure..

i agree ,they dd change too much to use the same credits.

Waterston_Fan · 01-11-2006, 08:17 PM

Even if it was done to save $, it was better than eliminating one Brady kid from each of 5 eps in season 2. Barry Williams said the practice stopped before it got to him. I don't know if the kids got paid or not for not appearing, since they were all still billed at the end as usual, but it's likely that they weren't.

i wuld say the bunny rabbits in the final episode lol but uhh 'final episode' says it all lol

A lot of people blame Oliver for the downfall of the show, but maybe it WAS the rabbits...

After all, the show survived for six episodes or so with Oliver, but the combination of Oliver and the Rabbits, well, it's interesting that THAT'S when the show was actually cancelled!

I think you may have swerved into the truth here, maybe without even knowing it!

They used the same intros/Brady squares for seasons 2 and 3 however there is a difference with the kids singing the theme song. Also notice that they used the same vocal track for seasons 3 and 5 but used yet another one entirely for season 4.
