Robert Reed played Mike and Mike Lookinland played Robert *Bobby*... I wonder if this was done intentionally and if it caused confusion on the set lol

These were the names in the script. Robert Reed comments on this while on the Mike Douglas show saying "I'm Robert playing Mike and this is Mike who plays Robert"
This is the Brady Bunch Variety hour promotion that is on youtube.
I am sure a few times there was a confusing moment or two.

Hey Mike..........which one?
