The regular cast appeared in an opening title sequence in which video head shots were arranged in a three-by-three grid, with each cast member appearing to look at the other cast members. The sequence has been widely imitated and lampooned since: A recurring character was Alice's boyfriend, Sam Franklin (Allan Melvin), the owner of a local butcher shop. (By the time of The Brady Girls Get Married, a made-for-TV movie in 1981, Alice and Sam were married.)

The Brady Bunch - Plot. The idea to make the series was based on creator Sherwood Schwartz's reading an article that a growing share of the marriages in the United States involved children from a previous marriage.

Poochie was a dog character added to the Itchy & Scratchy lineup in The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show. According to the show's plot, the producers believed the cartoons were getting stale, and needed a new character to reinvigorate the show, despite the objections of one of the show's writers, who 'at the risk of sounding pretentious', felt that Itchy and Scratchy comprised 'a dramaturgical diad'. Homer Simpson gets the job of voicing Poochie, who is introduced in the Itchy & Scratchy cartoon "The Beagl ...

Within the Simpsons universe, the characters were created by Roger Meyers, Sr., who built the legacy of Itchy and Scratchy and established Itchy and Scratchy Studios in 1921. It was revealed in the episode "The Day the Violence Died" that Chester J. Lampwick actually invented Itchy in 1919 and owns the rights to that character. Scratchy starred in his first cartoon in 1928, entitled That Happy Cat. The film, which is ten seconds of animation showing the cat whistling and tipping his hat, did very poorly.

There was also a vulture modeled after Mr. Burns — in a cartoon he himself scripted and directed ("Fraudcast News") — who touted the virtues of nuclear power. When Marge protested the cartoon's violence, a cartoonist modeled a squirrel with tall, blue hair after her. The squirrel interrupted a baseball bat fight between the title characters shouting "Don't do that! Hey! Don't do that!" to which Itchy whacked her head off. Elvis Presley also appears in a cartoon, shooting Scratchy when he gets his head stuck in Elvis' television set — a reference to the apocryphal ...
