Hello, everybody and thank you for joining us for this podcast.

This is going to be a special episode.

This is a special show.

We have kind of jumped around and saved certain episodes until later until we kind of got our arms around producing a podcast, and this is one

of them we saved. I'm glad we did. We have lots to talk about. It is the most unusual episode,

the Brady Bunch, ever did, mostly because we're almost not in it at all. Stay tuned.

I'm Barry Williams, and I'm Christopher Knight. We are the real Brady Bros.

Okay. I mean, I don't know where to start.

Oh, well, I'll tell you what.

I will start here.

This episode is called The Kelly Kids, or Kelly's Kids, rather, Kelly's Kids.

No, well, there's the argument right up front.

It's got three titles over the course of its history. It's on the DVDs as Kelly's kids. It was on script as the Kelly kids, and it was on something else as the Kelly's kids.

I told you it was unusual. They didn't even know what to call it.

It's so aberrant.

Well, I believe it's pulled from the show.

We'll talk about that later on.

So I believe the true title is the Kelly Kids.

In a nutshell, because you might not have known exactly what you were watching,

or you might have watched this episode and not known where the Brady Bunch family was.

This is a device that was sometimes used, particularly at that time, to use an episode of an existing show or series like ours to promote and actually create a filmed and completed pilot episode for another series, a spin-off series.

And this was written by Sherwood Schwartz.
