The Brady Bunch - Hawaii Bound (1972) - Filming Locations - Part 1 of 2
Honolulu Time Capsule From 1972
During the 1960s and 1970s, several popular TV series packed up and headed to Hawaii to film a few episodes. These episodes happened later in the run of the series and were likely done in an effort to avoid doing "the same old stories" and to keep the series fresh. The I Dream of Jeannie episode Battle Of Waikiki (1968) is a great example and I've covered that episode's filming locations here on the site.
The Brady Bunch did the same in 1972 and this episode, Hawaii Bound, is literally a tour of Honolulu and the island of Oahu. It covers a lot of different locations and is a great time capsule of the area.

Touring Honolulu In 1972
The journey back in time to Honolulu in 1972 continues with The Brady Bunch episode Hawaii Bound.
The Honolulu Chamber of Commerce must have been thrilled when they saw the script for this episode and the sheer number of locations visited in this episode. There's a breathtaking overview of Honolulu from the Tantalus Lookout at Puu Ualakaa State Park and great views of the high rises starting to line Waikiki Beach in this one in a scene filmed at Owls Beach at Sans Souci State Recreational Park.

Streetcars And Buildings Unchanged By Time
Charley Chase was a comedy director, writer and actor who did most of his work in the 1920s and 1930s. From being part of the team that created the Our Gang / The Little Rascals series in 1922, to starring in his own series of comedy short movies, to directing The Three Stooges in the late 1930s, Charley Chase rightfully has a place on any list of influential people responsible for American classic comedy movies.
Hasty Marriage is a 1931 movie that has Charley trying to convince his girlfriend's mother that he is a worthy suitor. Besides having a great supporting cast - including Laurel and Hardy favorite James Finlayson, the movie filmed almost entirely on location on a stretch of Second Avenue in Los Angeles. This movie also features real Los Angeles Railway streetcars running down Second Avenue - which explains why the street is so wide today (though the tracks are long gone).

This first of TWO Quick Preview Videos of the filming locations focuses on the 4800 block of Second Avenue, the same location that Laurel and Hardy used for the closing scene of their comedy County Hospital a year later.

The Train Tracks Are Gone But The Buildings Remain
The second of two Quick Preview Videos of the filming locations from the Charley Chase movie Hasty Marriage takes us to the intersection of Second Avenue and West 54th Street in Los Angeles.
Back in 1931 when Hasty Marriage was filmed, this corner was an important hub for the neighborhood, featuring a grocery store and a cafe just across the street. Fast forward to the 21st century: Both the grocery store and cafe buildings are still standing, however both appear to be just barely hanging on.
There's also a great view north on Second Avenue showing the streetcar tracks, overhead electric wires and a whole bunch of 1920s and early 1930s automobiles parked on each side of the street.
Each of these then and now comparisons provides a great look at the dramatic changes to this part of Los Angeles over the past 95 years.
