* TheOtherDarrin: Creator/EvePlumb, the original Jan Brady, initially agreed to take part, but balked at Creator/{{ABC}}'s contract demand requiring her to commit to 13 episodes, with a possible 5-year deal beyond that. Unable to work out a compromise, Plumb left. Geri Reischl was chosen out of 1,500 auditionees to take over as Jan.[[note]]One of the other finalists was Kathy Richards, future mother of Paris Hilton[[/note]] Since the show only lasted nine episodes, Plumb was ultimately vindicated. Reischl is "fondly" remembered to this day as Fake Jan, even referring to herself as such on her own website!

* TroubledProduction: To the extent that there was a book written about it. Besides the usual struggles in mounting a variety show, and the questionable quality of the material, there was also HostilityOnTheSet. Creator/FlorenceHenderson, with her Broadway background, viewed the show as an important showcase for her talents, and created some tension when she accused the others of not taking things seriously enough. Deeply religious Creator/AnnBDavis resented working with flamboyantly gay Rip Taylor. And Creator/MaureenMcCormick began behaving erratically, leading to rumors of drug problems (which she later confirmed in her autobiography). After an incident where [=McCormick=] just didn't even bother showing up for a taping, Marty Krofft gave a her long TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in front of the rest of the cast and crew.
