Did you ever notice in certain scenes where Alice is cooking or preparing dinner, it clearly looked like there was nothing in it. Like when Alice was stirring soup or whatever, you can tell nothing was in there not even any prop food.
shareidk if it took 'that long' to have dinner in the oven and they cleaned up from preparing dinner while the dinner is cooking... but I have noticed how CLEAN the kitchen was as the dinner prep was happening.
no cutting board with chopped carrots out, no spoons for stirring? no bowls to put the food INTO?
and this is weird: they had 8 [9] people to cook for! that is a lot of food... like well over a dozen eggs a morning should have been used!! still... 'a place for everything and everything in its place' surly was the motto in this house!
I just can't believe that there was little to no 'living' done in the house!
Reading the paper can really be depressing. Mr. Dithers fired Dagwood again.
They were mostly pots of water. I've never heard it reported if the stove on the Brady kitchen set was electrified.

The strawberry preserve scene did not even have any steam coming out of the pot.
shareStill chuckle at the scene in the second movie with Alice walking into the fridge.
shareI know that was funny and also how Alice only made meatloaf for dinner all of the time.
sharemeatloaf is surprisingly cheap, believe it or not. we were not poor growing up but we did not like spending a lot on food... so often we had meatloaf and spaghetti and meatballs -- with home made marinara. also baked ziti.
it is amazing how far 5 dollars would go when you stretched it back then.

I wonder if the Bradys got meat at a discount because of Alice's personal relationship with Sam the butcher.
shareI think so. I think Carol mentioned something to Mike about it when he was complaining about the phone bill when Sam called to talk to Alice.....I don't remember if it was the selection or the price.
shareThere have been a couple of times when Alice is shown stirring a pot, and steam is coming out. One is the season 1 episode where she is comtemplating quitting now that there was a new Mrs. Brady on board. I believe there is also steam when she is making "Grandma's secret recipe" to help Carol get her voice back in time for Christmas. Coincidentally, both season 1 episodes, so maybe they stopped after that (too expensive to have a working kitchen, maybe?).

as much as I loved Robert reed, he was just being too much of an anal, whiny child whenever he opened his mouth about the lines.
and to be honest... strawberries smell when you cook them -- especially with sugar. they even smell when you are picking them. they don't have a deep smell, but they do have a scent.
anyone remember the strawberry shortcake toy line? especially the strawberry scented shampoo. so if strawberries don't smell... how did they get the scent real?

I remember the Strawberry Shortcake toys. I had those dolls when I was a little girl. Loved them. Collected the little plastic figurines too.

I really like it when you would see Alice and Carol with groceries come home home with only two shopping bags. Like that's enough food for nine people. Lol!
shareEspecially when you consider that the grocery shopping was involved enough that Alice was shown taking inventory to determine what to put on the shopping list. Watching that as a kid, I thought damn those kids are spoiled that someone is making sure they don't run out of cookies.
And in the episode "The Big Sprain", when Mike goes to Sam's Butcher Shop and only gets 8 Lamb Chops. So each person would only get one Lamb Chop each. Even if Cindy's bowl of salad didn't fall on the floor, everyone still would have been hungry.
shareI also noticed there were times when Alice had a coffee can and there was tape around the can to hide whatever brand it is.

It was disgusting with when Bobby was taking pictures and she rubbed her hand in her hair and went back to touching the food...
