Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us for another episodic recap. We're taking you all the way back to season number one. And I know we're going to have a lot of

memories to share and a lot of points of view and a lot of observations to make. I'm Barry Williams.

And I'm Christopher Knight. We are the real Brady. Broves. Yes, we are going all the way back.

Technically, this was the first episode we did after the pilot.

So we did the pilot in 68, and this would be the first episode that we as a group did when we had been picked up for a series. I say technically

because the first six episodes were sort of done in unison because Florence wasn't available.

Literally. Just to frame this up, in the old days, there used to be a pilot, and that would be filmed,

and then it would be reviewed, and the network and studio and et cetera, would determine what was going to go on the air for the next season,

when and where and how, depending on what they needed. So we had filmed the pilot episode in the December area of a 1960.

And that was it was September, October. It was the end of September, early October of 68.

And we didn't know whether or not it would ever be seen or that it would go to series or what

have you. So the pickup for a series, a full run, which would have been, we were picked up for a full

year, came in somewhere toward the spring of 69. And so we all got together right around the time I guess school was out for the

summer, wasn't it? I'm going to say June-ish. And that's when we came back to work, right?

The six set of shows, episodes that Chris is referring to were done simultaneously. All of the

scenes were done that did not include

Florence Henderson. And we had our original director, John Rich, from the pilot episode, to kind of

keep this all together. And it was an unusual way to start our filming. She was doing the

song of Norway and needed to finish up her shooting and then join us.

So it was quite chaotic.

We had all these scripts to go bouncing back and forth from and try and keep them all straight.

And I'm trying to think, Chris, did we go in and do like all the bedroom scenes?
