Hi Yooch- I was just listing the actors who appeared on the Brady Bunch! I should have mentioned that.

Great list! I can't think of any more.

It was pretty cool that Sherwood had both Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer appear on the Brady Bunch... I think Sherwood should have made it a point to have every member of the Gilligan's Island cast on the BB for at least one episode, even if it was just a bit/cameo role.... and who knows, maybe he did try to get some other G.I. cast members involved, but wasn't able to pull it off.

Joe Conley delivered a big box to the Bradys in "The Hero," in which Peter saved the little girl from a falling bookcase. Mr. Conley went on to play the role of Ike Godsey on The Waltons. (When I started watching TW I used to get him and Ralph Waite/the father mixed up.)

Both from GI

That was not just the second time Jim Backus worked with Sherwood Schwartz either. Sherwood was on of the head writers on Jim Backus' 1952 series I Married Joan.

Also, JB plays the almost exact charter in the Grand Canyon saga as he does on the dream sequence of the GI episode "The Sweepstakes" Jim Backus said that was his favorite episode so I am sure he was happy to play the almost exact same role again.

Rita Wilson was the cheerleader who beat Marcia and Jennifer, the girl who kept calling Greg "Greggie", for head cheerleader at Westdale High.
