works. There is a great deal of tension between the various branches. Jan and Phillip are having marital problems; Marcia's husband Wally has lost his job and doesn't want anyone to know; Greg's adored wife decides to spend Christmas with her own family instead of the Bradys; Bobby wants to quit his job and become a race car driver; Peter and his girlfriend are dancing around the possibility of engagement; and Cindy wanted to go on a skiing trip with her college roommate instead of coming home. Midway through the actual Christmas celebration, just as it seems like all the tension has finally been resolved, Mike gets a call to a building site, where the construction is threatening to collapse and kill another architect's workers. He gets trapped inside himself, leaving the family waiting for news.



* CannotSpitItOut: Peter and his girlfriend are having this issue regarding proposing. [[spoiler:They finally resolve it by each saying "Will you marry me?" to the other at the same time.]]



* ChristmasSongs: During the dramatic climax, while the Bradys are waiting to find out if [[spoiler:Mike will be recovered alive from the collapsing building]], Cindy randomly recalls the ChristmasEpisode in which she asked SantaClaus to restore Carol's voice in time for her to sing in church on Christmas. This leads to a group sing-along of "O Come All Ye Faithful." [[spoiler:Mike hears them and is able to follow the sound to an escape route.]]



* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Cindy's plot point is that she can't make her parents acknowledge that she's an adult just like her brothers and sisters. Despite being a college student, they tell her to come home (instead of asking like they did for everyone else) and even seat her at the kids' table with her niece and nephews.
* ShoutOut: The concluding remarks by the reporter who is covering the scene at the construction site.
--> '''Reporter:''' I just happened to notice the street sign. Looks like this was another {{miracle on 34th Street}}!



** Even with only nine episodes, the show managed to produce two versions of the theme ... one instrumental, the other sung by Florence Henderson.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ann B. Davis, when it came to having to work with Rip Taylor. In a later memoir by Susan Olsen, it was contended that Davis absolutely did not like Taylor (due to the very adult content of his stand-up comedy act) and refused to even so much as acknowledge him other than what was needed for the show. Taylor, who was a fan of Davis beforehand, was puzzled at her attitude toward him and to this day, still is, since Davis has refused to talk about working on the show.
