		Schwartz was ordered to chop it into four pieces, which caused Sherwood and his son, Lloyd (his producing partner), to spend four days in an editing room trying to cut it into sensible, coherent episodes.

		Schwartz does a great job describing the battles to get the show made and gets the pages turning as we wonder if his series will ever be what he wants it to be.
		Schwartz obviously went through a lot getting the show on the air but his description of his efforts seems to be very self-centered and like one man's battle against all odds.
		Schwartz also seems to blame others for the show's demise and failure to be revived in the late 1970s following the "Rescue From Gilligan's Island" movie.

		Sherwood also made me feel a bit more geeky by mentioning, "you sure do know an awful lot about this show!" I confessed that I'd been a lifelong Brady Bunch fan and had mentioned that I've easily seen each episode at least 3-4 times.

		In both the season introduction and in the Episode 3 commentary, creator Sherwood Schwartz talks about different reasons why the show was so successful.
		Schwartz was a bit like watching it with your grandfather--he got really tickled by the jokes and pointed out some of the gags excitedly.
		He talked a lot during "The Little Dictator" about how important the message of the episode was, furthering the idea that democracy is a very essential ideal--I have to admit that I didn't really find the episode to be as underlying serious as he made it out to be, but it was amusing.

		Brady purists may grumble at what Schwartz calls the movie's "affectionate satire." But the screenplay is slightly less campy than "The Real Live Brady Bunch," a recent stage production in which adult actors performed original "Brady Bunch" episodes live.
		Ask Schwartz why "The Brady Bunch" endures and he'll modestly say it's the stories themselves.
		Schwartz has no plans for future Brady projects, he said, but predicts that regardless of the film's fortunes, the Bunch will live on in reruns.

		Director Bob Delegall and a wonderfully adept ensemble give vitality to the playwright's premise, but Schwartz offers no more compelling insight into the tragic manipulation of the heroic but flawed Othello by his sociopathic compatriot Iago (David Brandt) than was presented by the Bard himself.
		Presented as a modern-day trial by jury, the dialogue is contemporary except when witnesses are testifying to the actual conversations that occurred at the time of the murder.
		The grand revelation that playwright Schwartz espouses is that Iago manipulated the tragic demise of Desdemona because he wanted to be the Moor's beloved partner in bed as well as out on the battlefield.
