Former child stars of “The Brady Bunch” have reflected on one of the show’s biggest storylines.
Stars Barry Williams, Eve Plumb and Christopher Knight dropped by NBC “Today” The mysterious disappearance of the Brady family dog, Tiger, was discussed on the show Thursday after host Carson Daly brought in the beloved pet.

Plumb, who played middle child Jan, explained that in the pilot episode of the series, the Brady girls – Marsha, Jan, and Cindy – had a cat, Fluffy, who was never seen again. Plumb, 66, said family pets in the Brady household have “almost disappeared.”
Knight, 67, who played Peter Brady on the iconic sitcom, was particularly impressed by Daly’s observation. “Watching the early shows with Tiger, Tiger is an important element, you’re right,” said the actor, who is rewatching the series with co-star Williams, 70, on his podcast “The Real Brady Brothers.”
“And he disappears.”
Williams, who plays Greg, the eldest Brady brother, quipped, “Continuity was not one of the strong points of our show.” “And so one day he’s there, one day he’s not there.”
