Corrected entry: After Jan and Marcia argue about Jan hiding Marcia's trophies in the closet, Carol and Mike take Jan to the den to talk with her. A few moments later, Marcia runs in to say she just got a call from the school...but we never hear the phone ring. In other episodes there are phones in the den, family room, living room, the parents room, and who knows where else.
The Brady Bunch (1969)
1 corrected entry in season 3
Starring: Robert Reed, Florence Henderson, Maureen McCormick, Ann B. Davis
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.
Jan Brady: Well, all day long at school I hear how great Marcia is at this or how wonderful Marcia did that! Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.
Trivia: Two of the "Sound of Music" kids had guest roles: Nicholas Hammond, who played the oldest son Friedrich, was in "The Subject Was Noses", and Kym Karath, who played the youngest child Gretl, was in "Cyrano de Brady".
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.

Correction: There was an obvious cut in time between when Carol takes Jan to the den and when Jan starts talking about hiding the awards. We can safely assume this cut in time was when the phone rang.
