The Brady Bunch

Ghost Town, U.S.A. - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Zaccariah steals the last piece of fried chicken off the plate, the plate is left completely clean, yet when Alice goes to get the piece a few seconds later, there's a sizable grease stain on the plate. (00:14:05)

Jan's Aunt Jenny - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: The kids are in a circle on the living room floor. They're spaced well apart from each other in some shots but right next to each other in others; in particular Greg and Marcia, and Bobby and Cindy. (00:19:00)

Jan's Aunt Jenny - S3-E17

Other mistake: When Jan finds the picture of her Aunt Jenny, we see a close-up of the picture with her hand holding it. She then passes it to Carol - and the same shot of the picture with the hand is shown again. (00:02:10)

Greg's Triangle - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Greg comes home after Jennifer gives him her number, Greg is seen entering the house in the living room. Then a few seconds later he is seen entering the other side of the kitchen.

54-40 and Fight - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Alice enters the kitchen you can see the ironing board from the doorway. When she is giving Tiger a bath the Ironing board has moved to the wall that can not be seen from the doorway. (00:01:30 - 00:04:05)

Dough Re Mi - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: During the recording of "Time To Change", Jan's hands are always together when she's shown. But in the shots showing just the boys, look at the right side of the screen and you can see fingers (which have to be Jan's since she's standing beside Peter) moving as if they're drumming on something.

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)

The Winner - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: Bobby goes on a television show for an ice cream eating contest. The host of the show takes the spoons away from the contestants, then tells the kids to put their hands behind their backs. Before they do so a close-up shot of Bobby shows him holding the spoon. (00:19:45)

Coming-Out Party - S2-E17

Other mistake: When Mike calls home from the office on the rotary dial, his finger dials only two possible numbers 3,4 repeatedly. Not 762-0799 or 555-6161 the two numbers that the Bradys had during the run of the show. (00:17:15)

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.

Try, Try Again - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: The kids walk into the kitchen complaining about the noise from Jan's tap dancing. Peter reaches up and grabs his paper sack lunch and then in the next shot he says "talk about noise pollution" while grabbing his lunch for a second time. (00:09:07)

Bobby Brady: Mom always says not to play ball in the house.

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.
