The Brady Bunch

According to Barry Williams' (Greg Brady) book Growing Up Brady every Brady kid paired up romantically with their opposite-sex counterpart.

Barry Williams (who played Greg Brady in The Brady Bunch) later starred in a series called Celebrity Boxing where he was clobbered by Danny Bonaduce from The Partridge Family!

Ever wondered what happened to the Bradys? Well Barry Williams (Greg) is still performing on stage Maureen McCormick (Marcia) and Michael Lookinland (Bobby) are producers Eve Plumb (Jan) is an artist Susan Olsen (Cindy) is a bass-playing graphic designer and Christopher Knight (Peter) is a casting agent!

Gene Hackman was the first choice to play Mike Brady but he was turned down because he was an unknown television actor at the time.

In 1995 The Brady Bunch Movie transplanted the family to 1990s Los Angeles. It was followed by A Very Brady Sequel in 1996. Many of the original cast members made cameos including Barry Williams Florence Henderson Ann B. Davis and Christopher Knight.

In real life the Bradys made a commercial for New and Improved Safe laundry detergent.

In the early '70s the Brady kids were marketed as musicians performing at venues all across America.

On The Brady Bunch Alice's boyfriend Sam appeared on the show 8 times. He hired Greg as a delivery boy asked Mike to draw plans to expand his butcher shop and played Dopey in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

On The Brady Bunch the door in the kitchen functioned as Alice's room the back entrance and the laundry room.

Only five seasons of The Brady Bunch were made but the sitcom has never left the air. It has screened in 146 countries and still plays four times a day in the US. In fact each episode has been shown more than 100 000 times across the globe.

Peter and Bobby Brady had pet frogs called Spunker and Croaker.

Peter is the only Brady who doesn't have blue eyes.

Shakespearean actor Robert Reed (Mike Brady) hated The Brady Bunch scripts. He squabbled endlessly over the sugar-coated plots with executive producer Sherwood Schwartz.

Sherwood Schwartz who wrote both The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island TV themes reported that he earns about $60 000 each year from those two theme songs alone.

TV show creator Sherwood Schwartz originally intended the title of The Brady Bunch series to be Yours and Mine.

The Brady Bunch spawned four spin-offs: The Brady Kids (a 1972 animated cartoon); The Brady Bunch Hour (a variety series minus Eve Plumb in 1977); The Brady Brides (Marcia and Jan get married in 1981); and The Bradys (a drama series in 1990).

The Brady house had one bathroom but no toilet.
