I just submitted a screen shot of this episode in which I show that the show used the VERY well known living room set from The Brady Bunch which final episode was shot in 1974... and this episode of Mannix was shot in 1975! In the episode the set was shown in wide shots that I just happened to miss getting photos of from my DVR which only holds 30 minutes of program unless you record the whole episode which I didn't.
Why would they do that?
Doesn't make sense!
...my mind is boggled.
