The Brady Bunch

Sergeant Emma - S3-E20

Audio problem: At the end of the show when Alice is blowing the whistle, the whole family comes to the top of the stairs. Mike says "Alice, it's 6 o'clock in the morning" Watch his mouth. It looks as though he curses and the (curse) word was dubbed out.

Is There a Doctor in the House? - S1-E13

Audio problem: When Mike walks into the kitchen and sees the chart with the list of kids on it and what ailments they've had, he comments on one of the ailments, saying "None of the kids have had distemper." However, if you watch his mouth, he appears to have originally said "rabies."

Jeff Swanson

Brace Yourself - S1-E20

Audio problem: When Marcia comes downstairs before the dance Alan shows her his new braces, and as they both head toward the door we hear the clear sound of shoes walking on a wood floor, even though they're walking on carpet. (00:23:50)

Super Grover

The Big Sprain - S1-E19

Audio problem: When Carol calls and Mike answers the phone, (after Cindy runs and then the entire salad (bowl) falls to the floor) you can hear Marcia and Jan arguing in the background, but that exact (said) audio is looped if you listen closely - it is an argument from an earlier script that is repeated about 6 times or so during the length of Mike's phone call from Carol.

Snow White and the Seven Bradys - S5-E3

Audio problem: When the kids are painting a cardboard tree for the play, they ask their dad what he thinks of it. He then says "you better ask the two poodles next door." As he walks away he seems to almost trip/fall over something. Then the mom is heard laughing, even though she's not in the scene.

Greg's Triangle - S4-E11

Audio problem: In the scene where Mike comes home and Carol has ruined his golf club, you hear a door open and close, with a latch/doorknob. She hears it and knows he is home. But he comes in the back door, which was a sliding (glass) door. (00:20:00)

Miss Popularity - S5-E13

Audio problem: Listen to the sounds as the family eats dinner; the same sound sequences keep playing. For example, one sequence of three quick taps of silverware on plates plays several times, followed by another sound that is difficult to identify. (00:21:15)

Jeff Swanson

The Hustler - S5-E21

Audio problem: Bobby is lining up a pool shot. There's a cut to Cindy, and as she says her line, the sound of pool balls being hit is heard. But when the pool table is shown again in the next shot, none of the balls have moved. Also the pool table moves from outside to inside. Lots of mistakes with the balls on the table throughout the game. (00:08:25)

Getting Davy Jones - S3-E12

Audio problem: When Greg and Peter were in the family room helping Marcia write a letter to Davy Jones, Peter suggests telling him that he won a $10 million sweepstake. Then as they walk into the kitchen, you hear Greg saying "A $10 million sweepstake" and Peter says "$20 million?" It is clear that he wasn't really talking, because the sound of his voice is very distant, although they were only in the next room.

The Private Ear - S3-E9

Audio problem: When Peter is hinting to Carol that he is still growing, the audio changes to being dubbed in from Peter separate from the actual scene after Peter stands up and mentions he wants cowboy boots. Then the audio is back to normal once Peter mentions "Brown" cowboy boots.

Two Petes in a Pod - S5-E18

Audio problem: Many times throughout this episode, the actors' voices echo, especially when Mike yells out to Peter (and vice versa) from different rooms.

The Winner - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: When Mike and Carroll drive Bobby to the TV show for the ice cream eating contest they leave in the blue convertible. They return home in the brown station wagon.

54-40 and Fight - S1-E15

Question: Would someone please explain to me why Marcia did not just simply remove her dangly bracelet that endangered the girls standing in the house of cards competition after Carol said "Oh Marcia, Marcia, your bracelet"? It would have made it less stressful on her not to mention her team, and she wouldn't have had to restrain it with her other hand.

Answer: The dangling bracelet was used for dramatic purposes - to keep the audience on edge.

Answer: There were several episodes throughout the run of the show where Marcia was infatuated with a guy she went to school with. This bracelet could have been a gift from her then-boyfriend; as such, she would not want to take it off, as a sign of loyalty. A stupid thing to do, of course, but it's not a mistake for a character simply to be dumb.
