On this day in 1969: "The Voice of Christmas" episode of 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙍𝘼𝘿𝙔 𝘽𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃 aired on ABC-TV.
In this classic episode, the 12th of the series, Carol Brady gets laryngitis from overusing her voice rehearsing for an upcoming solo at a church Christmas service. Meanwhile there are the usual goings-on with preparations for the family's first Christmas together. However, youngest daughter Cindy is prompted to ask a department store Santa for her mommy's voice back instead of any toys for herself. Will the family receive their own Christmas miracle? I think you know the answer.
This was the only Christmas episode produced during the series' five season run and the only one written by John Fenton Murray. The ratings obtained by this episode likely contributed to a full season pickup of the series. The episode also received a callback in 1988's 𝘼 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨, which recreated the now adult kids unable to sleep due to their individual problems. At the conclusion, Carol leads a crowd singing "O Come All Ye Faithful" as an inspiration of faith for Mike Brady, stuck in a collapsed building.
