Lost Episodes

Lost Episodes of "Eight is Enough" and "The Brady Bunch" That Will Never See The Day!

Believe it or not, an Internet tabloid news item recently exposed the fact that cancelled series remain in production, churning out episodes that will never air on TV since no outlet purchased the rights to air the episodes. The Brady Bunch lasted from 1969-74, plus several reincarnations and Eight Is Enough 1977-81, plus two movies.

Everyone has been asking all these years: WHAT HAPPENED SINCE THEN?

Well, our crack research team has unearthed some of the "lost" episodes of these family shows that never aired, existing all over the world in the homes of many private citizens that shall remain private.

Not sure of are the actual dates they were supposed to air, but if anyone knows of any "lost" episodes, please let me know so I can share them with the world.

Oh, and why are some of the events pre-dating the actual day the show first aired? The Bradys and the Bradfords have been around, they just haven't gotten TV contracts back then!
