ChevyVanMiller Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Ran across a pretty interesting article detailing how the Brady Bunch home doubled as a backdrop for many Mannix scenes. Robert Reed filmed both shows concurrently and both series had the same producer. Mission Impossible also shot a scene in the house. Pretty wild to see people other than the Bradys in that iconic house, especially Mannix waking up in the Brady girl bedroom.

Wacka Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Of course those are the same sets at the studio. Star Trek used the Mayberry street for "City on the Edge of Forever", the episode with Joan Collins. Edited August 13, 2020 by Wacka 1

ExWNYer Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 I loved Mannix. Great show. I believe the house used for 'The Cleavers' on 'Leave It To Beaver' was also used on 'Marcus Welby, M.D.' and was part of a studio sound lot.

Back then (1980) it was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by other ranches. Now it's surrounded by generic subdivisions and a 7-11 down the street. 2

Expand I was in Allen off of E Bethany drive, by Story Brook Elementary in 2002 - 2003. They were expanding big time then. I can imagine it filled up with subdivision. Looking the map I see a Wallymart was put in

Seems like a bit ahead of its time to have a show with a man waking up in the bedroom if young girls. Didn't they just start letting married couples share beds at that time? 1

Sidenote. The commissaries were a television fan's dream come true. A person got to see their favorite TV characters from various shows in one area. Sergeant Carter and Scotty standing in line to get their lunches for example.

Still one of my favorite if not most favorite opening theme songs in TV show history. 1
