the brady bunch was the brainchild of sherwood schwartz, also famous for creating the long-running tv series gilligan's island
schwartz got the idea for the brady bunch, after reading a magazine article on the large number of marriages that involved children from a previous marraige.
suprisingly, the brady bunch never cracked the top thirty in its primetime run, and was cancelled in 1974.
syndication helped cement the series in pop culture, and an episode of the brady bunch has aired somewhere in the world every single day, since the series first syndicated episode aired in september 1975.
recurring characters
actor allan melvin, as alice's butcher shop owner boyfriend
robbie rist, as cousin oliver. in the brady bunch's final season in 1974, cousin oliver became a series regular when his parents left to south america for an archaelogical dig.
the canine actor portraying the brady dog tiger was killed tragically when hit by car, early in the first season. despite tiger's unexplainedabsence from the series, his doghouse remained throughout. (according to barry williams, this was to cover holes in the astro-turfed set, caused by a fallen stagelight.
the brady house
the house used for exterior brady-house shots is in california's san fernando valley, on dilling steet, in north hollywood. it was originally built in 1959.
