That was until Christmas came early for The Brady Bunch.
The episode featured Carol coming down with laryngitis just before she was scheduled to sing a solo for her church’s Christmas service. Youngest daughter Cindy sweetly asked a department store Santa (Hal Smith ) to “give mommy her voice back” for Christmas. Her plea miraculously worked, and the Christmas episode ended on a merry note, with Mama Brady belting out “O Come All Ye faithful” for the congregation.
“What’s significant about that episode is our show looked like it was going to be canceled coming into December,” Williams said. “So September, October, even November, were not that strong for the network, and there was a lot of dialogue about the cancellation of the series — until that episode. That episode was a turning point in our viewership. Renewals came up pretty soon after that and we were picked up and then picked up and picked up again. It never really faced that kind of danger again.”
While The Brady Bunch went on for five seasons, Knight noted that there was only one Christmas episode because the show was on Friday nights and would often be preempted by Christmas specials.
Of “The Voice of Christmas,” he added, “I like to call it it's the Miracle on Clinton Avenue because it has it has the same tone that Miracle on 34th Street has.”
‘The Brady Bunch’ Kids Released a Christmas Album
A Billboard review teased, "With the success of their TV show assured, The Brady Bunch makes their recording debut with a first-rate collection of Christmas carols and songs.”
In an interview with Retro Crush, Brady Bunch creator Sherwood Schwartz recalled that most of the Brady kids had musical talent. “All of them had a certain amount of talent in that direction, except for poor Peter, who had no talent,” he said of Knight. “Most of the time, he just kept quiet. The odd thing was that the mother (Florence Henderson), who was a talented singer and a Broadway star, never got to sing at all. Well, she sang in that Christmas episode, and it was beautiful. The kids emerged as big stars.”
