I think we all know the story that this script was shelved when Tiger one met his maker and Fake Tiger was introduced as the producers thought he wasn;t trained. Needing a script the producers saw how much Fake Tiger had improved and as he was only in the teaser and the tag this script was given the green light.

Not a lot to note here. We get some nice shots of the Brady house with camera angles that we do not normally get, such as when Mike is in the hall with Bobby and packing his golf clubs. We also see a close up of the wall area just above the patio doors in the family room.

Later in the show I think the Brady driveway and garage is given a mini make-over to represent the house of the other dog owner.

Not one of my favourites though the scenes with the kids all adding to the reward money is sweet.

I think you're right, Bachu. The lady's driveway and garage look like the Brady setup. I noticed that the Brady patio seems small. When Mike and Bobby drive in and park, they are pretty close to the barbecue. On later episodes, like when Peter fires off his volcano, the patio seems much larger. This might be the only episode that shows that little deck in the corner of the backyard. Bobby actually runs on it.

When Greg and Peter get out of bed and leave their room, Peter is barefoot. Later he has slippers on. How come Greg and Peter only put cans on one sliding door when they have three? And if they are worried about a burglar, why do they leave the door unlocked? You can tell it's unlocked when Alice slides it open later. I wonder why Alice would open the door if she was scared? Then when she screams, why don't the girls run down to see what was going on like Carol does? When Carol flips on the kitchen light she just swipes her hand over it; the switches are still in the "off" position!

Check out the clock on the wall in the family room. During the first four phone calls it's 3:40 even though a lot of time has passed. Later when Alice takes a call it's 2:10!

The Bradys sure could have used cell phones in this episode!

Perhaps they had already 'dressed' the garage so they couldn't shoot against it for the car scenes? The patio area does look small but I think that was because they shot it in close up. The decking area was used a few times I think. Greg once watered the plants there when talking to Marcia I think in a later season. Also, was that the area where they performed Snow White? I love that decking area.

I didn't notice the slippers. Will have to check. The boys were still rigging the house when Alice interupted them so perhaps they hadn't finished? It was yesterday I watched the episode but I would assume that Alice was checking the door to see if it was locked byt trying to pull it open? I did notice the light switch but forgot to mention it. Also, perhaps the girls were too scared by fear to move out of their bedroom (plus it would have been another scene with more actors and lines to share amongst the cast).

I didn't notice the clock and yes the Bradys could have made good use of cell phones.

And still no one has noticed that Fluffy is missing...
