“Something funny’s always going on with the Brady Bunch.”
This time around, you’ll find commercials spanning 1973 to 1976. We start of with a rather awesome ABC promo for The Brady Bunch. Following that, soak up spots for Continental Airlines, Imperial Margarine (with Eve Arden), and Excedrin.

Its hard to believe there was once a time when those Brady Bunch promos were brand new, but I swear I remember Marcia’s “It really works” teaser!
Haha. Well, I only have vague memories of first run Brady viewing as I was so young. But I watched re-runs in the Seventies, at least 5 days-a-week, for years. Heck, I watched an episode just the other day.
