Too bad 3 more episodes of The Brady Bunch were not made. 117 is an odd number. 120 episodes (24 per season) would have been better.

Season one had 25 though.

I think they should have gone the Bewitched route and had about 35 episodes per season!

During the 1950's when TV was in it's infancy, a full season was 39 shows. Leave It To Beaver, for example, had six seasons of 39 episodes each for a total of 234 episodes. That's a lot of episodes!

Nowadays, a full season of shows is about half the number it used to be. Must be nice to be a TV actor these days. To get paid so much money for so little work.

at least they made it to 100. Gilligan stopped at 98, just 2 away.
