Brady Bunch "In Color" Bumper

1st Open (1969-1970)


Visuals: The screen fades in to a still shot of the cast on the stairway, from left to right: Cindy, Bobby, Jan, Peter, Marcia, Greg, Alice, Carol, and Mike. The Brady Bunch logo then fades in, with the words "IN COLOR" underneath.

Technique: The fading in and out of the image and words.

Audio: A trumpet-based interpolation of the Brady Bunch theme, similar to the ending credits music from Season 1.

Availability: Can be seen at the beginning of the first seventeen episodes of Season 1. The other eight contain the next bumper.

2nd Open (1970-1971)


Visuals: Same as the first one, except the shot is different, angled and more far back.

Technique: Same as open one.

Audio: For the remainder of Season 1, it uses the last bumper's music, but for Season 2, a very loose interpolation of the Brady Bunch theme, this time more upbeat and guitar driven.

Availability: Seen starting with Episode 18 of Season 1.

Final Note: As of Season 3, the slide was dropped.
