A Brady Bunch Retrospective

The Brady Bunch had a lasting impression on those who watched the show when it originally aired. The show also picked up fans when it ran in syndication, which continued until 2007. At that point the show aired at least once a day somewhere in the United States.



The Show

The Brady Bunch was an ABC sitcom that ran from 1969 to 1974. Creator Sherwood Schwartz came up with the idea of the show in 1965. At the time he was well known in Hollywood for his show Gilligan’s Island and was looking for his next big idea. He devised a show called Yours and Mine based on an article he read in the local newspaper about mixed families and second marriages. He took the finished pilot script to NBC, CBS and ABC, but after all three demanded significant edits, he decided to stop progress on the show. In 1968 he brought the script back out and ABC agreed to air the show.

The plot of The Brady Bunch centered on widow Mike Brady who married Carol Martin. Schwartz always stated that Carol was divorced, though ABC didn’t want the controversy appearing on air so it was never mentioned. Each character had three children of their own, leading to a large family. Carol and her three daughters moved in with Mike and his three sons and all took the Brady name. Carol also inherited Mike’s housekeeper Alice who lived with the family and their dog Tiger.

The show experienced a revival when it was turned into two major motion pictures, which poked fun at the earnest and old-fashioned ideas of the show. It’s easy now to make fun of how serious the show took itself, which lends to the kitschy appeal of the show. Marcia’s obsession with her looks, Jan’s inferiority complex and other ideas let people laugh at the show, without feeling bad for doing so.



The Characters

  • Carol - mother of three girls who marries Mike Brady. She stays at home, but later in the run of the show she works as a real estate agent.
  • Mike - widowed father of three boys. Mike works as an architect and has at office at home. He also adopts all three of Carol’s daughters.
  • Greg - the oldest of the Brady boys. Greg wants to be a singer at times and a professional athlete other times. For short period of time he had a singing alter ego known as Johnny Bravo.
  • Peter - fairly insecure middle child who doesn’t think he looks or acts as well as his siblings. He was known for being the fun brother.
  • Bobby - the youngest of the Brady boys and the prankster of the group. He often pulled tricks on his siblings or got into trouble without meaning to.
  • Marcia - the oldest of the three Brady girls. Marcia loves actors and singers like Davy Jones and also acts a little insecure about her looks so that she can earn praise for her beauty.
  • Jan - the awkward middle child who was frequently jealous of her older sister Marcia. She’s embarrassed about her braces and glasses and invents an imaginary boyfriend to cope with her feelings.
  • Cindy - the youngest girl, adorably pigtailed with a lisp. She also told on her siblings after going through their things, which were issues that were addressed on the show.
  • Alice - the live-in housekeeper of the family who worked for Mike’s first wife. She became close with the kids and also dated the local butcher, Sam.
