Someone just give this producer an Emmy for ‘best use of boxes’

One Omaha producer found a very lovely way to use those little boxes with reporters’ pictures in them.

When it came time to cover HGTV’s purchase of the “Brady Bunch” house, Tanner Kahler, a producer at Hearst’s KETV, decided to recreate the show’s iconic opening sequence with what has to be the most spectacular uses of a “five box” ever.

Kahler opted to have an image of the house, which was used for exterior shots of the sitcom, in the large center box, while two anchors, a forecaster and reporter all appeared in the four smaller boxes around it.

“Here’s the story,” anchor David Earl read, while noting he would “spare you the singing.”

In TV news, boxes are often used for showing an anchor and reporter or guest on screen at the same time — and some stations have taken them to the extreme.

Kahler, meanwhile, tweeted that “As a newscast producer, I may have just peaked.”

Hopefully not, Tanner. But just remember it’s not always Tanner, Tanner, Tanner…
