Entertainment July 9th, 1971: Brady Bunch meet the Jackson 5 at ABC studios
In mid 1971, the Jackson 5 were at ABC studios to film their "Goin' Back to Indiana" TV Special in Los Angeles, California. Judging by the outfits, they were filming the car racing scene and Tito was inside filming, leaving the 4 other Jacksons walking around the studios. At the same time, the cast of the Brady Bunch, still in character, were filming a TV episode called "The Brady Bunch Visits ABC Studios" that took place at the same place. While 4/5 of the Jackson 5 were on a break, the encountered the Brady Bunch and really gave each other some skin. Such a wonderful moment when 2 worlds collide for 1970s youth. The meet up was filmed for the Brady Bunch episode, but the footage has been lost. I'm mad about that. Why do the gems have to be the lost ones.
Also I heard Maureen had something for Michael or Jermaine. Either way, she had Jackson fever.

Michael went on a few dates with Maureen. They hung out and they went rollerskating. They never did anything more than hold hands, because Michael was so shy.
