One evening some years after production of the Brady Bunch TV series had ended Barry Williams had to attend a business meeting to be held at at a home. At one point in the evening at that meeting one of the other attendees casually said to Barry, “Well, how does it feel to be back home in your house?” Barry, puzzled by the question said, “What are you talking about?” The guy said, “You don’t know where you are, do you?”, and the guy then added, “Step outside with me for a moment.” So Barry got up, and followed the guy out the front door of the place, down a step, and out across the front yard to a public sidewalk in front of the home where he then turned around, and looking back, said “Oh my, my” as he discovered where he was. In 1958 a Mr. Luther M. Carson, and his wife Louise Weddington Carson commissioned the then mid century modern Los Angeles city architect Harry M. Londelius to design the couple’s planned for new house to be built on a piece of property at 11222 Dilling Street in Studio City, California which was then completed in 1959. Ten years later n 1969 it was Louise, now having become a widow who being approached by representatives from nearby Paramount Television gave permission for them to bring over a production crew to film a series of scenes of the front exterior of her uniquely styled home to serve as stock footage to be used to represent the exterior of a fictional family’s home in what has long since become known and instantly recognized to millions world wide as the renowned, iconic home featured in The Brady Bunch situation comedy television series.
You might ask why Barry Williams didnt recognise that he was going to the same house as the house used in the Brady Bunch series. The answer was that he had never been there before. The interiors and backyard were filmed on sound stages at Paramount studios. The real house was used only for exterior shots of the house filmed from across the street. The inside of that house bore no resemblence to the soundstage house. You never saw Greg or the other kids playing in front or walking to the real house. A couple of times Mr Brady or a double was seen driving his car from the street into the driveway which was about as close as any of the actors got to the real house.
I’ve been very well aware of everything you’ve told for a good while now. I presented the primary part of my comment you did not address because the actual owners of the house have only once ever been named anywhere nor the architect who designed and had the structure built, dying only one year after its completion.
I literally just watched this episode yesterday. I never thought that Greg hit the wrong pedal but rather hit the gas too hard because he was determined to beat Marcia and get as close as possible but overcompensated. But what do I know-Barry was there I wasn't! I hope this is the only episode that left Barry bitter because to me he always seemed like such a great and happy guy. Someone you would want to have a beer with- Barry not Greg because we know Greg Brady wouldn't drink beer. I always loved this episode but to honor the great Barry Williams the next time I watch it I will be a little bitter about the episode myself!
They'd had the battle of the sexes before, such as Marcia joining the scouts or Peter being a sunflower girl in retaliation. Then Mike and Carol switched roles in cooking badges and baseball in the backyard. "Girls are better drivers than boys" - you could tell it was a last-gasp at original ideas to keep the show going.
Although I agree it's not one of the best episodes, one of the funniest scenes was someone mentioned to Marcia "Imagine the driving instructor with no clothes on." So she does and before you can say "Pork.chops and applesauce," you see the driving instructor wearing only a tank top undershirt and boxer shorts!
I was a fan of The Partridge Family instead. It was way more realistic to me even though the only one singing was David Cassidy and maybe Shirley Jones on a few notes.
He was upset about that episode and not the one where his hair turned orange? The final episode which drove Robert Reed to boycott the episode. Actually the egg on the pylon is a clever one
Yep. Listening to the podcast, it's clear that Barry really just couldn't stand HOW Greg lost and he also made it clear that, if it were Barry vs. Maureen, the outcome would have been different.
@@jdsundstrom i feel for him. My first drivers test required parallel parking between two pylons (no egg:). First time I backed into it and flunk. Second time a charm. Parallel parking is a lost art. Actually what would have made the episode better would be Greg stops just before the pylon, gets all smug, declares victory and takes his foot off the brake.
@@Portugal2025 I had a 16 year period where I was unlicensed, and when I got my license back 18 years ago, I did a parallel park, and surprised the examiner. He told me that they no longer included it in the test then. But my favorite incident in driving tests, was when I took the road test when I first got my license, I was backing out of the parking spot with the examiner in my car and hit the car next to me. Still got my license, though.
I have to say that, when I saw this episode the first time, back in the stone age when the Flintstones were real people, I never assumed that Greg confused the two pedals. My thoughts were that he told himself, "Just a little closer," then hit the gas harder than he had intended because of stress. I'm surprised to learn that I "misinterpreted" that scene, but then again, I also enjoyed the episode. After all, it wasn't GREG that I was in love with!! Neither was it Barry.
One of my favorite episodes is when Bobby gets kissed by a girl and he looks up and sees fireworks in the sky. He decides he likes kissing girls afterwards.
Even though they were driving, it still was in a way about the "Battle of the Sexes". It was trying to prove who were better drivers, "Boys or Girls". Even though it was a family show it still was about competition. Because in the 70's when the equality movement was coming more into focus they're were competition sports known as the "Battle of the Sexes".
Another episode which I believe was the last filmed was the one-episode Robert Reed refused to be in. Reed would frequently agree with the show's producers about the script and his argumentative side went a bit too far during the series finale. The episode title was "The Hair Brained Scheme". Albeit Reed wasn't in the episode he remained on the set during the filming. Sadly no one knew, the cast and crew even Sherwood Swartz that it would be the last ever episode filmed!
When i saw this video THAT’S the episode i assumed he was bitter about. The actors didn’t like a lot of things they made them do. Reed was also bothered with the strawberry preserves scene with Alice and Carol where he had to say something about gone to strawberry heaven but he still said it 😂
Reed also refused to appear in the episode Goodbye Alice Hello when the kids are mean to Alice and she leaves the house. Reed thought it was unrealistic the kids would ever do this to Alice. Yet he had no problem with this episode or 2 Petes in A Pod is beyond funny.
Reed was a classically trained actor, so I guess he still wanted some dignity in whatever show he was on. Interestingly, Reed was booked to star in “The Man in the Wood,” a British tv play, pre-Brady days. But his agent double booked him for another play that would be produced at the same time as “Wood.” The television company producing “Wood” unsuccessfully attempted to procure a replacement. They were unable to prove damages, since the play never aired, so they sued Reed over the costs of the production. Previous courts had held that production costs before the event opened were not recoverable, as the party enters into them for his own benefit, when the existence of a contract is uncertain. The court hearing the case reversed, holding that even if a party could not demonstrate they lost profits, they were still entitled to their costs, prior to and after the contract was consummated. Costs awarded were those as would reasonably be in the contemplation of the parties as likely to be wasted if the contract was broken. Reed, his agent and or the production company had to pony up £2750, which was a princely sum in the late 1960’s. Always thought it ironic Reed played an architect, since their work involves a lot of contracts! This is one of the best contract cases for first year law students, as it shows how damages can be computed if profits cannot be proven. Every 1L comes across it.
@@Wild1995 he was right on both counts. The kids were beyond rude to Alice and out of character for them I felt so bad for Alice and thought the kids all deserved a swift kick. Two Petes was silly but I liked it, a lot of people don’t because it was so ridiculous.
People confuse the gas and brake peddles constantly! Why do you think every establishment in America has had to put those yellow concrete posts out front because people keep driving into their shops!
I always liked Jan as my favorite Brady girl but sometimes Marcia had her place also. I never cared much for Cindy though but Jan always seemed to get the bad end of most everything compared to Marcia especially when it came to the attention from boys probably since Marcia was a little older. By the time the show was in its last 2 seasons I think Jan's attractiveness far surpassed Marcia's in my opinion.
@@SL-vi4tk Jan started off cute, then became pretty, but by the 5th season she was beautiful. Her lines were a lot funnier in the last season, too. She was really coming into her own.
I saw "Greg" (Barry Williams), years ago in person as I was leaving the famous Chasen's restaurant, in West Hollywood. He was coming into the bar, just as I was going out. He still was good looking, but not like his days on "The Brady Bunch", when I had a "crush" on him! 😍🤣 P.S. I also thought "Marcia" (Maureen McCormick), was pretty too, but realized I was GAY... and "Greg" WON! 🤗🤣😂🤣
Good job again, Dave! I just finished listening to the same podcast that you mentioned before I came over to YT & watched your video. Because I'd just heard about it, I guessed which episode it was. I wish I'd listened to this over the past long weekend instead of just now. The episode that they just reviewed for their podcast dropped last night, "Vote for Brady", is I think MY least favorite episode, mainly due to Marcia again, for all her crying in it. I'm looking forward to their eventual review of "Law & Disorder", where Barry will likely explain his behavior in a specific scene in the episode.
I understand speaking of Barry Williams that had there been a sixth season the writers were contemplating a fist fight between Mike and Greg. That would have been so un Brady like
I met Barry about ten years ago. I teased him about the two part Hawaii episode when the first episode left off with him wiping out on a surfboard and we had to wait a whole week to find out if he was ok, and I laughed. He didn’t. He went instantly pale at the memory of it and said, very seriously, “ohh.., that wasn’t funny at all. I really wiped out and blacked out! It was real scary.” 🤭 DOH .. I felt super bad for bringing that memory back to him but he was nice as hell and posed for a snap with me anyway. Cool guy to the bone ✌🏼
If you listen to the background dialogue among the cast during Greg's obstacle course maneuvers you can hear Bobby being a brat and mocking Marcia when she comments ".. he's coming in too fast..!" her reply to him is "..Oh, be quiet..!" Haha!
I dunno, I think it's entirely plausible that Greg, knowing that Marcia had done very well, and let's face it, having a bit of an ego, was so tense that he did something he wouldn't normally have done. Looking back at these older episodes, Peter always seems to come off as a bit more relatable to me. Nothing against Barry at all, but Greg is a little full of himself. Weird timing on this video, I was just watching an old MTV "Popup Video" episode of the Brady show.
The entire episode is a bit ridiculous for a family to do this in a parking lot. Having said that, I dont see a problem with how it ended. Greg was claiming men are better drivers, women are too emotional, etc. Like most other Brady Bunch episodes the sibling with the big head gets grounded in the end. This episode was no different. Greg became too emotional and broke the egg. The funny and irony is Robert Reed refused to appear in 2 episodes because he felt they were too unrealistic. How this one and 2 Petes in a Pod got past him is beyond me.
The two episodes. although dumb, were faity realistic. Someone can run into someone who looks exactly like them and get the idea to have some fun fooling others, and in the never-ending debate boys vs girls, men vs women, somebody would have the idea for a bet. However, Greg's hair turning orange because he bought some dipshit hair tonic on the eve of his graduation WAS a bit much to swallow. 😄
Barry does have a point. Most likely because of the era, when women's lib was everywhere, the producers decided a girl should win. Kinda like when a company goes woke.
On the podcast, Barry explained that he wasn't upset about Marcia winning. Instead, what really bugged him was HOW she won. Barry thought it was totally unrealistic.
@@jdsundstrom I know, it's about the decision that was made by the producer to include it in the story. It's only common sense that Greg would never hit the gas pedal. Even if it was the brake he hit, slamming on the brake, like he did with the gas, would of made the car's body lurch forward and most likely knock over the egg too. How she won was by political correctness.
@@bobsebring3377 I don't see any political correctness in that. There's no different between men and women as far as driving is concern. I've seen excellent drivers, as well as crappy ones, of both genders. I think it's more of an ego problem with some men. They have this attitude that males are better drivers than females. My brother thought that way. He was an aggressive driver and very impatient. He would always stay stupid things like, "women shouldn't be allowed to driver," when he was the careless driver. Like I said, It's all about ego and then blaming it on political correctness.
That's a great story Dave 👍 I love when the Brady Bros talk of behind the scenes moments and was in stitches when they told of the episodes in Hawaii. Great guy's to, 👵🇭🇲
@@keithbrown8814 but they wanted him primarily bcz he fit the suit! Maybe 1970 designers liked a looser fit on some body types. Trivia: the pretty young lady wearing glasses was a Playmate of the month! And I don’t think Greg could get out of that contract by just tearing it up. There had to be a breach. But that would have complicated and prolonged the episode, so the producers/writers made the right choice. Besides, when I was a kid, I thought tearing up a contract immediately nullified it.
@@shimmeringfairydust3275 The prey could tear up contract after contract as much as they liked, but the predators had copies. Looking back, I'd say Johnny Bravo was a comment on how kids were treated in show biz overall - after all, one of th reasons the 6 kids were cast was because they "fit the suit", being the same hair color as their respective parents. Mike Lookinland had to have his hair dyed for the first 4 seasons.
My favorite episode was Greg gets grounded. Because For the First Time in all of the episodes he didn't let one of the kids get away with something. He wasn't playing on this episode and I loved it
i agree with Barry, that part was BS, i can see him getting too close before hitting the brake and bumping the cone hard breaking the egg and thats how he lost, not that he hit the gas for no conceivable reason. that was just dumb. also the contest was unrealistic, that car was all steel construction at a time when all cars were made like tanks. if he bumped another car at that speed he wouldnt even have scuffed his or anyone else's bumper. i had a 69 Plymouth Fury and that thing was a monster with a lot of power. i used to move cars with the bumper to make room to park. no damage to either. it was just a silly TV show so its fine. loved that show as a kid.
Through television interviews and feature news reports, I always had the impression that Barry Williams had a very inflated sense of self-importance. I vaguely recall reading or hearing him say that he thought that he should have been a teen idol. He's made a career out of being "shortchanged" in his popularity. At this point, he's like Zsa Zsa Gabor....he's famous for being famous....and nothing else.
Uh, no. You don't understand the definition of the phrase, "Famous for being famous". That's being famous for not truly accomplishing anything noteworthy, yet still being famous. Barry's role on the Brady Bunch is iconic. That role and his work since is something to be proud of as an entertainer. His career is not based on being "shortchanged". Everyone has a desire to be bigger and better, and Barry is no exception. But being loved by millions, writing a best selling book, and entertaining audiences for decades with acting/singing/etc is quite a healthy pedigree for an entertainer.
I thought he hated the episode when he was in real life stoned out his mind even had him looking at I forgot who but while they were saying their line Greg looked like whaaat you say🤣.as a kid I didn’t know but I remember someone mentioning it
The dumb thing about that driving course is that the egg on the rode cone cannot be seen as you pull up to it being that it's lower than the hood, so it's a blind guess when to stop.
@@alextrebek8293 when I was 9, I use to get mad at the show because ANYTIME there was a contest between boys and girls, the girls always won. I actually thought Sherwood Schwartz was a woman because of this. 🤔
@@joshuachristian5443 there were other shows too that went out of their way to make guys look like idiots. It was the beginning of the whole male-bashing thing
@@alextrebek8293 it use to be funny, now its done in spite making him look completely inept, lacking the basic level of class or intelligence. It's ridiculous. We need a show like Married With Children to come back.
Well, you can laugh about goof ups, but still wonder about the logic of the situation. I mean it is understandable that he is bitter about that script line, but as someone who saw it when it was broadcast the first time, I almost rolled around on the floor laughing at the blunder made by Greg. But, I could actually see that occurring in real life, even back then. Because of the stress of the contest.
I didn't know he was bitter about this brady bunch episode interesting news didn't know any of this thanks for sharing the info Marcia was attractive now I understand great video Dave Marcia was the better driver
@@cadeevans4623 Also Cade the Robert Reed wasn't in the very last episode filmed due to his disproval of the script and plot. The Hair Brained Scheme in which Greg buys and uses a hair tonic that turns his hair orange LOL!
i have the whole series in a green shag carpet box , then bought all the movies including the one with older davy jones RIP , they did an awesome job esp bringing most of the cast back, and the Monkees !!!!! my orher favorite show. ty 💖💖💖
Like Bobby Brady said. Greg had something stuck in his "craw". But, If you look at real life, people are often times (especially in parking garages) nearly careening off of them several stories UP and driving through store windows etc. I recall Everybody Loves Raymond.
HI DAVE ,,, I LOVED ALL OF THE BRADY BUNCH SHOWS ... I WAS A TEEN IN THE JROTC IN THE ARMY WE ALL GOT TOGETHER AND LAUGHED AT THAT SHOWS NOW I AM 61YR.S... I LOVE THOSE BIG BOAT OF A CARS THEN AND NOW!!! CHEVY.. NOW I HAVE SOME THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS SHOW ,,, I DONT THINK IT WAS FAIR MARSHA WON ,,HA!!!(((((( NOW GO BACK TO THE SCENE WHEN GREG WAS DRIVING I NEVER NOTICED THIS !!!!! )))))L O O K !!! AT THE BACK LIGHTS OF THE CAR,, ONE OF THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHTS ONE IS OUT !!!! SO HE LOST THE BREAKS,,,,,, HE COULD NOT STOP !!! HA! HA!!! HOW THATS
I thought it would,be the one that Barry came to the set stoned. Where his hair turned orange Where that suit on Johnny bravo Where they went on stage with those silly costumes.
My pick for worst episode of brady bunch the series finale titled the hair brain scheme. Robert Reed was right about that episode. I wouldn't be in it either. If only a better episode had been selected.
Dear David, I didn't know the episode "Driver's Seat" from season 5 kinda bugged Barry. As always, he seems to be a good sport about it. If I had been on "The Brady Bunch" I KNOW which episode would have been among my least favorites to film. It's another season 5 episode, "The Cincinnati Kids". Now, I'm from the Cincinnati area and I LOVE it here. Plus, I'd have loved the opportunity to film at beautiful King's Island. What would have caused me problems? The roller coaster! Yep, I'm terrified of them. I am terrified of high places. I'm sure a bunch of people can relate. At any rate, Dave, I enjoyed this video. Thanks.
I never thought of it as him mixing up pedals. I assumed he was just being cocky at the end. Maybe watching now i would feel different. When i have the show on now it’s mostly background noise since i know the episodes. This one wasn’t one o my faves cause they were both gloating and had an ego trip😂 its a similar premise to Greg and Bobby in the chin ups episode
Same, actually. Greg had been pretty cocky about the whole competition thing, just like when he was over the chin-up competition with Bobby and still lost that based on a number technicality.
I thought the main reason that Greg lost to Bobby in the chin up competition was because Greg was overconfident and didn't practice for the event. Bobby was working his tail off training to beat Greg.
@@melissacooper8724 yeah being cocky about it. “Pfft. I can beat a little kid i don’t have to train I can beat him with one hand behind my back” type of attitude but he underestimated his lil bro and underestimated Marcia with the driving
Looking back on The Brady Bunch, there had always been an episode in which the battle of the sexes played a part. Between Greg and Marcia, the first battle was the running for student president at their school. Then there was the driving competition. I would have mentioned the cheerleading competition but Greg was on the judging committee and the competition was between Marcia and a girl who was dating Greg to influence him to get her onto the squad. Greg and the committee chose another girl. Even Greg and Peter had a competition in which the loser does the household chores for a week. I think the issue is that Greg and Marcia are not family by blood, but they are family by bond.
@@larryn1929 Yes, but in that episode the girls ended up buying a TV instead of the sewing machine so, in my opinion the girls did the right thing by getting something that both the boys and the girls could really enjoy.
I think they all had episodes they hated doing. I heard Susan Olsen's classmates didn't like her because they thought she was a tattletale, even though that was Cindy and not Susan. Her classmates had trouble differentiating between the two.
Ah, GSTV, now in Neat ~o~ Vision! Lovin the Bros. Podcast, especially the double date episode. The one where Peter nearly eats his own fake mustache. I. Real life Christopher Knight hadn’t dated yet. He was 15. The actress playing his date was 22! You’d think most young men would be ecstatic, but…that’s not the story. Even though Barry Williams laughs about it, I can kind of see his point about the script. How about this? Later, Mike and Carol call Greg aside. Mikes seen his driving before , so why did he flub the test at the last minute? Greg confesses that if he’d won, it would make Marcia feel bad, less confident. And then what would he have won? That he shouldn’t have made the bet in the first place. To which his parents retort, having realized that, makes him a more mature winner in their book. Aaaaaaaand, scene! Sigh….wonder if Schwartz is still hiring….😉
I guess he's entitled not to like it because there were a couple Robert Reed didn't like and didn't appear in, the one where Alice leaves because the kids said she snitched and the last one. What I never got is the red car. It was always the station wagon and the blue convertible. It was like Bobby's parakeet I guess. One episode.
Changing one's birth name is like slapping your parents in the face. It's disrespectful and unnecessary. This also applies to people who drop their last birth name. It's especially true if it's done for the anticipation of greater recognition and or financial gain. It's like selling-out, to perhaps an Agent or Studio Mogul, while at the same time being ashamed of your Father.
I remember hitting the gas instead of the brake a couple of times when I was learning to drive, especially when you have someone next to you yelling "hit the brakes, hit the brakes!"
There were lots of episodes of The Brady Bunch where the girls were shown to be better at something than the boys. I suppose by the last season at least one co-star was sick of it.
We all know that back then the women's liberation movement was in full swing. Barry should have been aware of that because of previous episodes where the girls almost always got their way.
The way I remember it was they had several shows with contests between the boys and girls. As I recall it was the girls that always won. Sure, it was the 70s and women were fighting for their fair share, but still, the guys could have won once. I may have to add The Brady Bros to my feed.
Marcia ultimately conceded the battle for the attic to Greg. An early episode had all the kids competing for domination of the backyard with clubhouses & I think Mike finally told them they had to have one big one to share. There were also age-specific team-up shows-- Bobby & Cindy on the teeter totter, Jan & Peter playing supporting roles in a school play version of "Romeo & Juliet", Greg & Marcia as babysitters, etc. There were also 2 "Peter & Cindy" episodes-- Buddy Hinton, the bully & Cindy as Peter's magician assistant.
If Barry Williams still has the slightest bit of I just don't think anyone would believe that Greg would mistake the gas pedal for the break pedal and this was 1974 and 48 year's later he still thinks that way. Well even through all his light-hearted conversations with his TV brother about this episode in my humble opinion he still thinks he was right and he's 68, boy how time flies the man will neve except he's wrong. It looked like he punched the gas instead of the break too me.
If you listen to the podcast where he talks about it, it becomes clear that he finds it more humorous than anything else. Still, it does bug him a little bit.
Think about the Bette Davis and Joan Crawford feud and the Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis break up........ they kissed and made up but not Bette and Joan.....Bette out lived her by 20yrs... I think
Dean and Jerry never truly made up. Yes, there was the reunion at the telethon that was orchestrated by Sinatra....however, afterward Dean continued to give Jerry the cold shoulder.
Dave, have you ever seen this guy's stuff? He calls himself BMeister22 and makes Brady Bunch parody videos. He takes an episode , breaks it into little clips, and remixes the be-jesus out of it. I've attached a scene from a parodied episode in which Greg is in love with a phantom girl named Linda - and Carol thinks she might have found the right one. The original episode is cute and amusing. In fact, I used to go around saying that Linda from Seattle looks like Elvira. Anyway, I hope you like this clip. ruclips.net/video/lBxbJrfnWek/видео.html
Marcia always wins.
Jan: "Welcome to my world!"
So true! 🤣😃🙂
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia !
LOL - Man, THAT should have been a line in the episode. I can JUST see Eve Plumb leaning on Greg's car door and saying that to him, too.

One evening some years after production of the Brady Bunch TV series had ended Barry Williams had to attend a business meeting to be held at at a home. At one point in the evening at that meeting one of the other attendees casually said to Barry, “Well, how does it feel to be back home in your house?” Barry, puzzled by the question said, “What are you talking about?” The guy said, “You don’t know where you are, do you?”, and the guy then added, “Step outside with me for a moment.” So Barry got up, and followed the guy out the front door of the place, down a step, and out across the front yard to a public sidewalk in front of the home where he then turned around, and looking back, said “Oh my, my” as he discovered where he was.

Sure thing. As a kid, I did not know that cars with automatic transmissions could idle forward without touching the gas pedal.
Surely not sweet little innocent 😇 Bobby ?
He was just a boy then.
@@robinhood480 No, you're right. It was NOT Bobby. Guess again. LOL 🙂😅
My favorite episode is when Marcia was hit with the football 🏈 in slow motion played over and over. I loved the Brady Bunch. Thanks, Dave!! 😊
What do you bet Charlie became some tech millionaire and Doug Simpson became an alcoholic used car salesman living in the past...
She had a car accident, so screenwriters had to invent a football hit to justify her nose swelling
@JonathanLopez-gr1rw , really? I never knew that. That's interesting. Thank you. 😊
ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES...THE PRESSURE WAS ON,IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE HE WOULD CHOKE!
One of my favorite episodes is when Bobby gets kissed by a girl and he looks up and sees fireworks in the sky. He decides he likes kissing girls afterwards.
The girl that Bobby kissed was Melissa Sue Anderson that played Mary ingalls on little house on the prairie. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 Yes, I forgot about that.
@Draper Scott Yes. He appeared in a cameo as the boy on the train who offered Mary ingalls a sandwich to eat. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Even though they were driving, it still was in a way about the "Battle of the Sexes". It was trying to prove who were better drivers, "Boys or Girls". Even though it was a family show it still was about competition. Because in the 70's when the equality movement was coming more into focus they're were competition sports known as the "Battle of the Sexes".
Fact….Christopher Knight is brother-n-law to Sawyer Browns lead singer Mark Miller. Awesome musical group.
Cool info! Thanks for sharing Robert.
Another episode which I believe was the last filmed was the one-episode Robert Reed refused to be in. Reed would frequently agree with the show's producers about the script and his argumentative side went a bit too far during the series finale. The episode title was "The Hair Brained Scheme". Albeit Reed wasn't in the episode he remained on the set during the filming. Sadly no one knew, the cast and crew even Sherwood Swartz that it would be the last ever episode filmed!
When i saw this video THAT’S the episode i assumed he was bitter about. The actors didn’t like a lot of things they made them do. Reed was also bothered with the strawberry preserves scene with Alice and Carol where he had to say something about gone to strawberry heaven but he still said it 😂
Reed also refused to appear in the episode Goodbye Alice Hello when the kids are mean to Alice and she leaves the house. Reed thought it was unrealistic the kids would ever do this to Alice. Yet he had no problem with this episode or 2 Petes in A Pod is beyond funny.
Reed was a classically trained actor, so I guess he still wanted some dignity in whatever show he was on. Interestingly, Reed was booked to star in “The Man in the Wood,” a British tv play, pre-Brady days. But his agent double booked him for another play that would be produced at the same time as “Wood.” The television company producing “Wood” unsuccessfully attempted to procure a replacement. They were unable to prove damages, since the play never aired, so they sued Reed over the costs of the production. Previous courts had held that production costs before the event opened were not recoverable, as the party enters into them for his own benefit, when the existence of a contract is uncertain. The court hearing the case reversed, holding that even if a party could not demonstrate they lost profits, they were still entitled to their costs, prior to and after the contract was consummated. Costs awarded were those as would reasonably be in the contemplation of the parties as likely to be wasted if the contract was broken. Reed, his agent and or the production company had to pony up £2750, which was a princely sum in the late 1960’s. Always thought it ironic Reed played an architect, since their work involves a lot of contracts! This is one of the best contract cases for first year law students, as it shows how damages can be computed if profits cannot be proven. Every 1L comes across it.
@@Wild1995 he was right on both counts. The kids were beyond rude to Alice and out of character for them I felt so bad for Alice and thought the kids all deserved a swift kick. Two Petes was silly but I liked it, a lot of people don’t because it was so ridiculous.
@@ravenpoe7093 I am sure Alice got over it.
People confuse the gas and brake peddles constantly!
Why do you think every establishment in America has had to put those yellow concrete posts out front because people keep driving into their shops!
I always liked Jan as my favorite Brady girl but sometimes Marcia had her place also. I never cared much for Cindy though but Jan always seemed to get the bad end of most everything compared to Marcia especially when it came to the attention from boys probably since Marcia was a little older. By the time the show was in its last 2 seasons I think Jan's attractiveness far surpassed Marcia's in my opinion.
Jan sure developed earlier than Marsha - running/bouncing through Kings Island with Mike's plans. Oh yea!
@@SL-vi4tk Jan started off cute, then became pretty, but by the 5th season she was beautiful. Her lines were a lot funnier in the last season, too. She was really coming into her own.
I saw "Greg" (Barry Williams), years ago in person as I was leaving the famous Chasen's restaurant, in West Hollywood. He was coming into the bar, just as I was going out. He still was good looking, but not like his days on "The Brady Bunch", when I had a "crush" on him! 😍🤣
P.S. I also thought "Marcia" (Maureen McCormick), was pretty too, but realized I was GAY... and "Greg" WON!
🤗🤣😂🤣
Good job again, Dave! I just finished listening to the same podcast that you mentioned before I came over to YT & watched your video. Because I'd just heard about it, I guessed which episode it was. I wish I'd listened to this over the past long weekend instead of just now. The episode that they just reviewed for their podcast dropped last night, "Vote for Brady", is I think MY least favorite episode, mainly due to Marcia again, for all her crying in it. I'm looking forward to their eventual review of "Law & Disorder", where Barry will likely explain his behavior in a specific scene in the episode.
Well, you know what they say; 'You Wanna Make a Cringy episode... You Gotta Break Some Eggs'!!!
Ha! Too funny TP!
I love the real Brady bros podcast. Thanks for the recommendation. ☺️🎧
This was great. How or where do you get the Brady Bros podcast? I would like to hear it too. Thank you 😁
You can listen to the podcast here: redcircle.com/shows/the-real-brady-bros
@@jdsundstrom thank you so very much 🌞
I understand speaking of Barry Williams that had there been a sixth season the writers were contemplating a fist fight between Mike and Greg. That would have been so un Brady like
It's also available on Spotify.
Beautiful car!
It sure is!
I met Barry about ten years ago. I teased him about the two part Hawaii episode when the first episode left off with him wiping out on a surfboard and we had to wait a whole week to find out if he was ok, and I laughed. He didn’t. He went instantly pale at the memory of it and said, very seriously, “ohh.., that wasn’t funny at all. I really wiped out and blacked out! It was real scary.” 🤭 DOH .. I felt super bad for bringing that memory back to him but he was nice as hell and posed for a snap with me anyway. Cool guy to the bone ✌🏼
Wow! What an amazing story! So cool
Unless he was just putting you on, I don't know why he would have done the stunt himself.
@@farrellmcnulty909 oh no. He wasn’t playing. His face went pale and he got serious. That’s why i felt bad for teasing.
If you listen to the background dialogue among the cast during Greg's obstacle course maneuvers you can hear Bobby being a brat and mocking Marcia when she comments ".. he's coming in too fast..!" her reply to him is "..Oh, be quiet..!" Haha!
I dunno, I think it's entirely plausible that Greg, knowing that Marcia had done very well, and let's face it, having a bit of an ego, was so tense that he did something he wouldn't normally have done. Looking back at these older episodes, Peter always seems to come off as a bit more relatable to me. Nothing against Barry at all, but Greg is a little full of himself. Weird timing on this video, I was just watching an old MTV "Popup Video" episode of the Brady show.
Agreed about the character Greg, compared to Peter especially.
The entire episode is a bit ridiculous for a family to do this in a parking lot. Having said that, I dont see a problem with how it ended. Greg was claiming men are better drivers, women are too emotional, etc. Like most other Brady Bunch episodes the sibling with the big head gets grounded in the end. This episode was no different. Greg became too emotional and broke the egg. The funny and irony is Robert Reed refused to appear in 2 episodes because he felt they were too unrealistic. How this one and 2 Petes in a Pod got past him is beyond me.
The two episodes. although dumb, were faity realistic. Someone can run into someone who looks exactly like them and get the idea to have some fun fooling others, and in the never-ending debate boys vs girls, men vs women, somebody would have the idea for a bet. However, Greg's hair turning orange because he bought some dipshit hair tonic on the eve of his graduation WAS a bit much to swallow. 😄
Catching up on your videos after an accident in January, lots to watch but I know you won’t disappoint 👍🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great episode where Peter has a fake mustache phil packer. Still one the best. The girls on the date acted like they loved phil and ignored greg.
he
Barry does have a point. Most likely because of the era, when women's lib was everywhere, the producers decided a girl should win. Kinda like when a company goes woke.
On the podcast, Barry explained that he wasn't upset about Marcia winning. Instead, what really bugged him was HOW she won. Barry thought it was totally unrealistic.
@@jdsundstrom
I know, it's about the decision that was made by the producer to include it in the story. It's only common sense that Greg would never hit the gas pedal. Even if it was the brake he hit, slamming on the brake, like he did with the gas, would of made the car's body lurch forward and most likely knock over the egg too. How she won was by political correctness.
@@bobsebring3377 I don't see any political correctness in that. There's no different between men and women as far as driving is concern. I've seen excellent drivers, as well as crappy ones, of both genders. I think it's more of an ego problem with some men. They have this attitude that males are better drivers than females. My brother thought that way. He was an aggressive driver and very impatient. He would always stay stupid things like, "women shouldn't be allowed to driver," when he was the careless driver. Like I said, It's all about ego and then blaming it on political correctness.
At the end of the day they're implying that Marcia didn't win because she was better, she won because Greg made a mistake.
That's a great story Dave 👍 I love when the Brady Bros talk of behind the scenes moments and was in stitches when they told of the episodes in Hawaii. Great guy's to, 👵🇭🇲
Glad you enjoyed it Susan!
I didn't know that Barry Williams cringed at "The Driver's Seat" episode.
Another great video Dave Keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for all your support as a SUPER FAN of the channel!
The car in this episode is a 1974 Chevrolet Caprice.
He didn't confuse pedals. He simply hit the gas a little too hard.
Gee…I would have thought it was the Johnny Bravo episode. The outfit was definitely cringe worthy.
Yeah but the suit…
Ha! Good point!
.....yeah... but it never really fit right thru the shoulders...... !
@@keithbrown8814 but they wanted him primarily bcz he fit the suit! Maybe 1970 designers liked a looser fit on some body types. Trivia: the pretty young lady wearing glasses was a Playmate of the month! And I don’t think Greg could get out of that contract by just tearing it up. There had to be a breach. But that would have complicated and prolonged the episode, so the producers/writers made the right choice. Besides, when I was a kid, I thought tearing up a contract immediately nullified it.
@@shimmeringfairydust3275 The prey could tear up contract after contract as much as they liked, but the predators had copies. Looking back, I'd say Johnny Bravo was a comment on how kids were treated in show biz overall - after all, one of th reasons the 6 kids were cast was because they "fit the suit", being the same hair color as their respective parents. Mike Lookinland had to have his hair dyed for the first 4 seasons.
My favorite episode was Greg gets grounded. Because For the First Time in all of the episodes he didn't let one of the kids get away with something. He wasn't playing on this episode and I loved it
i agree with Barry, that part was BS, i can see him getting too close before hitting the brake and bumping the cone hard breaking the egg and thats how he lost, not that he hit the gas for no conceivable reason. that was just dumb. also the contest was unrealistic, that car was all steel construction at a time when all cars were made like tanks. if he bumped another car at that speed he wouldnt even have scuffed his or anyone else's bumper. i had a 69 Plymouth Fury and that thing was a monster with a lot of power. i used to move cars with the bumper to make room to park. no damage to either. it was just a silly TV show so its fine. loved that show as a kid.
Through television interviews and feature news reports, I always had the impression that Barry Williams had a very inflated sense of self-importance. I vaguely recall reading or hearing him say that he thought that he should have been a teen idol. He's made a career out of being "shortchanged" in his popularity. At this point, he's like Zsa Zsa Gabor....he's famous for being famous....and nothing else.
Barry Williams thought he was a better singer than David Cassidy. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
That’s why I loved how Danny Bonaduce beat the cr@p out of him in that celebrity boxing match.
Uh, no. You don't understand the definition of the phrase, "Famous for being famous". That's being famous for not truly accomplishing anything noteworthy, yet still being famous. Barry's role on the Brady Bunch is iconic. That role and his work since is something to be proud of as an entertainer. His career is not based on being "shortchanged". Everyone has a desire to be bigger and better, and Barry is no exception. But being loved by millions, writing a best selling book, and entertaining audiences for decades with acting/singing/etc is quite a healthy pedigree for an entertainer.
@@harperstacey9604 - Barry is correct.
I thought he hated the episode when he was in real life stoned out his mind even had him looking at I forgot who but while they were saying their line Greg looked like whaaat you say🤣.as a kid I didn’t know but I remember someone mentioning it
I don't know. In the last picture of him, he's in a convertible with the top down and the back windows up... that's worse than breaking an egg.
What was he thinking?!!?
@@jdsundstrom 🤣🤣
The dumb thing about that driving course is that the egg on the rode cone cannot be seen as you pull up to it being that it's lower than the hood, so it's a blind guess when to stop.
i agree. it doesn't mean anything
@@alextrebek8293 when I was 9, I use to get mad at the show because ANYTIME there was a contest between boys and girls, the girls always won. I actually thought Sherwood Schwartz was a woman because of this. 🤔
@@joshuachristian5443 there were other shows too that went out of their way to make guys look like idiots. It was the beginning of the whole male-bashing thing
@@alextrebek8293 it use to be funny, now its done in spite making him look completely inept, lacking the basic level of class or intelligence. It's ridiculous. We need a show like Married With Children to come back.
Well, you can laugh about goof ups, but still wonder about the logic of the situation. I mean it is understandable that he is bitter about that script line, but as someone who saw it when it was broadcast the first time, I almost rolled around on the floor laughing at the blunder made by Greg. But, I could actually see that occurring in real life, even back then. Because of the stress of the contest.
Yep. Stress can make you do crazy things...like hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. 🙂
I didn't know he was bitter about this brady bunch episode interesting news didn't know any of this thanks for sharing the info Marcia was attractive now I understand great video Dave Marcia was the better driver
Thanks Cade!
Your welcome Dave
@@cadeevans4623 Also Cade the Robert Reed wasn't in the very last episode filmed due to his disproval of the script and plot. The Hair Brained Scheme in which Greg buys and uses a hair tonic that turns his hair orange LOL!
i have the whole series in a green shag carpet box , then bought all the movies including the one with older davy jones RIP , they did an awesome job esp bringing most of the cast back, and the Monkees !!!!! my orher favorite show. ty 💖💖💖
Like Bobby Brady said. Greg had something stuck in his "craw". But, If you look at real life, people are often times (especially in parking garages) nearly careening off of them several stories UP and driving through store windows etc. I recall Everybody Loves Raymond.
Barry Williams was 15 in season 1 at 20 years old season 5 he graduated from High school
We had the same year Chevy Impala, except ours was a hard top in fire engine red.
That '74 Chevy Caprice Classic drop top with the 454ci Big Block is pretty sweet! 😎👍 This video is pretty sweet too, Dave!!!
HI DAVE ,,, I LOVED ALL OF THE BRADY BUNCH SHOWS ... I WAS A TEEN IN THE JROTC IN THE ARMY WE ALL GOT TOGETHER AND LAUGHED AT THAT SHOWS NOW I AM 61YR.S... I LOVE THOSE BIG BOAT OF A CARS THEN AND NOW!!! CHEVY.. NOW I HAVE SOME THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS SHOW ,,, I DONT THINK IT WAS FAIR MARSHA WON ,,HA!!!(((((( NOW GO BACK TO THE SCENE WHEN GREG WAS DRIVING I NEVER NOTICED THIS !!!!! )))))L O O K !!! AT THE BACK LIGHTS OF THE CAR,, ONE OF THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHTS ONE IS OUT !!!! SO HE LOST THE BREAKS,,,,,, HE COULD NOT STOP !!! HA! HA!!! HOW THATS
Great story!
Thank you!
I thought it would,be the one that Barry came to the set stoned.
Where his hair turned orange
Where that suit on Johnny bravo
Where they went on stage with those silly costumes.
My pick for worst episode of brady bunch the series finale titled the hair brain scheme. Robert Reed was right about that episode. I wouldn't be in it either. If only a better episode had been selected.
Dear David, I didn't know the episode "Driver's Seat" from season 5 kinda bugged Barry. As always, he seems to be a good sport about it. If I had been on "The Brady Bunch" I KNOW which episode would have been among my least favorites to film. It's another season 5 episode, "The Cincinnati Kids". Now, I'm from the Cincinnati area and I LOVE it here. Plus, I'd have loved the opportunity to film at beautiful King's Island. What would have caused me problems? The roller coaster! Yep, I'm terrified of them. I am terrified of high places. I'm sure a bunch of people can relate. At any rate, Dave, I enjoyed this video. Thanks.
"I'm sure a bunch of people can relate."--I see what you did there!
Marcia looked just like my 29 year old daughter when she was a teen😄 my daughter gets mad because she says Marcia was ugly🤣
💗Marcia❤️Marcia💕Marcia❤️🔥
Yep...except this time it was Greg saying it!
I never thought of it as him mixing up pedals. I assumed he was just being cocky at the end. Maybe watching now i would feel different. When i have the show on now it’s mostly background noise since i know the episodes. This one wasn’t one o my faves cause they were both gloating and had an ego trip😂 its a similar premise to Greg and Bobby in the chin ups episode
Same, actually. Greg had been pretty cocky about the whole competition thing, just like when he was over the chin-up competition with Bobby and still lost that based on a number technicality.
I thought the main reason that Greg lost to Bobby in the chin up competition was because Greg was overconfident and didn't practice for the event. Bobby was working his tail off training to beat Greg.
@@melissacooper8724 yeah being cocky about it. “Pfft. I can beat a little kid i don’t have to train I can beat him with one hand behind my back” type of attitude but he underestimated his lil bro and underestimated Marcia with the driving
Looking back on The Brady Bunch, there had always been an episode in which the battle of the sexes played a part. Between Greg and Marcia, the first battle was the running for student president at their school. Then there was the driving competition. I would have mentioned the cheerleading competition but Greg was on the judging committee and the competition was between Marcia and a girl who was dating Greg to influence him to get her onto the squad. Greg and the committee chose another girl.
Even Greg and Peter had a competition in which the loser does the household chores for a week.
I think the issue is that Greg and Marcia are not family by blood, but they are family by bond.
Don't forget the boys vs girls in building a house of cards to win trading stamps.
@@larryn1929 I also remember the building of a new playhouse in the backyard.
@@larryn1929 Yes, but in that episode the girls ended up buying a TV instead of the sewing machine so, in my opinion the girls did the right thing by getting something that both the boys and the girls could really enjoy.
Barry spoke at our college. I thought he was very arrogant.
Actually it was Greg and Bobby that made the bet on the loser doing whatever the winner tells him for one week.
I think they all had episodes they hated doing. I heard Susan Olsen's classmates didn't like her because they thought she was a tattletale, even though that was Cindy and not Susan. Her classmates had trouble differentiating between the two.
All I can add to this is that accidents do happen in real life. One accident doesn't mean you are negligent.
Great point!
You can lose eggs that way,though.
I agree with Barry Williams.
😂💕 I loved the Brady Bunch, I watched every episode David!
Ah, GSTV, now in Neat ~o~ Vision!
Lovin the Bros. Podcast, especially the double date episode. The one where Peter nearly eats his own fake mustache. I. Real life Christopher Knight hadn’t dated yet. He was 15. The actress playing his date was 22! You’d think most young men would be ecstatic, but…that’s not the story.
Even though Barry Williams laughs about it, I can kind of see his point about the script. How about this?
Later, Mike and Carol call Greg aside. Mikes seen his driving before , so why did he flub the test at the last minute?
Greg confesses that if he’d won, it would make Marcia feel bad, less confident. And then what would he have won? That he shouldn’t have made the bet in the first place. To which his parents retort, having realized that, makes him a more mature winner in their book. Aaaaaaaand, scene!
Sigh….wonder if Schwartz is still hiring….😉
Wow
I guess he's entitled not to like it because there were a couple Robert Reed didn't like and didn't appear in, the one where Alice leaves because the kids said she snitched and the last one. What I never got is the red car. It was always the station wagon and the blue convertible. It was like Bobby's parakeet I guess. One episode.
Yep. I suspect each member of the cast has a handful of episodes that they don't love.
Changing one's birth name is like slapping your parents in the face. It's disrespectful and unnecessary. This also applies to people who drop their last birth name. It's especially true if it's done for the anticipation of greater recognition and or financial gain. It's like selling-out, to perhaps an Agent or Studio Mogul, while at the same time being ashamed of your Father.
💕One of my favorite episodes is when Jan pretended to have a boyfriend.(George Glass) She was so jealous of Marcia Marcia Marcia! 😆
Interesting
Thanks Jason! I appreciate all of your support.
Marcia, Marcia Marcia!!!
I recall being Gobsmacked with the outcome, but then realized it was scripted - OK.
Dayum, Marsha still do it to me...
She is a cutie!
I remember hitting the gas instead of the brake a couple of times when I was learning to drive, especially when you have someone next to you yelling "hit the brakes, hit the brakes!"
Thanks for sharing Pops6185!
Holy shit - I'm getting hee bee gee bees just imagining that.
Turn down the bell sound effect.
There were lots of episodes of The Brady Bunch where the girls were shown to be better at something than the boys. I suppose by the last season at least one co-star was sick of it.
Why would he be upset. Wasn't this a scripted show and he was supposed to lose.
I also remember the battle of the sexes in building a house of cards to win the trading stamps. The girls won when Tiger knocked the house down.
Not long after that, Tiger disappeared! 🙂
He needs to grow up and get over it.All he is accomplishing is making himself look foolish and childish.
We all know that back then the women's liberation movement was in full swing. Barry should have been aware of that because of previous episodes where the girls almost always got their way.
@1.48 you can tell that was filmed in reverse and then played back forwards lol
The way I remember it was they had several shows with contests between the boys and girls. As I recall it was the girls that always won. Sure, it was the 70s and women were fighting for their fair share, but still, the guys could have won once. I may have to add The Brady Bros to my feed.
Marcia ultimately conceded
the battle for the attic to Greg.
An early episode had all the kids
competing for domination
of the backyard with clubhouses
& I think Mike finally told them
they had to have one big one to share.
There were also
age-specific team-up shows--
Bobby & Cindy on the teeter totter,
Jan & Peter playing supporting
roles in a school play version
of "Romeo & Juliet",
Greg & Marcia as babysitters, etc.
There were also
2 "Peter & Cindy" episodes--
Buddy Hinton, the bully
& Cindy as Peter's magician assistant.
Awww...did that hurt his widdle feelings ? She probably WAS a better driver ! Well, obviously. 😂
Mr Brady always took the opportunity to quote or act like a Shakespearean actor
He may have been bitter at first, but I'm guessing Maureen cheered him up later, so to speak.
Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!
Not Greg too! 😂 Marsha always won!
If Barry Williams still has the slightest bit of I just don't think anyone would believe that Greg would mistake the gas pedal for the break pedal and this was 1974 and 48 year's later he still thinks that way. Well even through all his light-hearted conversations with his TV brother about this episode in my humble opinion he still thinks he was right and he's 68, boy how time flies the man will neve except he's wrong. It looked like he punched the gas instead of the break too me.
Why would he be bitter after all these years.... it's been what...50yrs....he should let it go
If you listen to the podcast where he talks about it, it becomes clear that he finds it more humorous than anything else. Still, it does bug him a little bit.
@@jdsundstrom well said.... but he shouldn't be able to be bitter after all this time
We shouldn't...but, I but most of us, because we are human, still hang on to a few things that happened long ago.
Think about the Bette Davis and Joan Crawford feud and the Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis break up........ they kissed and made up but not Bette and Joan.....Bette out lived her by 20yrs... I think
Dean and Jerry never truly made up. Yes, there was the reunion at the telethon that was orchestrated by Sinatra....however, afterward Dean continued to give Jerry the cold shoulder.
Barry should be bitter for getting high and talking to a boat.
😂
Schwartz has some of the dumbest writers in Hollywierd. I agree with Barry.
Marcia lubed up the pedals. FACT
I have to agree with Barry. LOL. Sorry. He was the one really put under pressure here.
I thought that was a great episode. Everyone gets nervous or can be over confident!
Loved the show
Marsha Marsha Marsha!!!
t was a show folks
Dave, have you ever seen this guy's stuff? He calls himself BMeister22 and makes Brady Bunch parody videos. He takes an episode , breaks it into little clips, and remixes the be-jesus out of it. I've attached a scene from a parodied episode in which Greg is in love with a phantom girl named Linda - and Carol thinks she might have found the right one. The original episode is cute and amusing. In fact, I used to go around saying that Linda from Seattle looks like Elvira.
Anyway, I hope you like this clip.

Pretty darn creative! Thanks for sharing Farrell. 🙂
To Barry, It was a TV show. scripted by the comedy writers. I Thot they had you do that on purpose. Wasnt it in the script.??
That episode was really badly written, so of course it was bogus.

Thanks! Chris and Barry have a really fun podcast.
