The Brady Bunch is a TV sitcom that started 40 years ago. The show was created when Sherwood Schwartz found that 20 to 30 percent families had at least one child from previous marriage. With this in mind, he wrote a 30 minute pilot episode. Where a widow with 3 daughters marries a widower with 3 sons and they all end up going to the honeymoon together.
As it arrived at selecting the cast, the creators think it could be much easier when the kids had exactly the same hair color as their parents. The trouble started as soon as the casting of the children started initially, therefore, to be able to back up their plan they have to have 3 blonde girls, 3 blonde boys, three brunette girls and three brunette boys.
Carol's role was meant to be performed by Joyce Bulifant from Mary Tyler Moore Show. But when Florence Henderson auditioned, she nailed her screen test. So Florence ended up getting the role consequently, it means that girls were going to be blonde. Some people think it would be much better if the girls were brunettes. Since they think, brunettes seem naughty.
The Academy Award winning legend, Gene Hackman has been picked to depict the part of the architect father Mike Brady. Paramount Studios did not agree to this, believing that Hackman was not recognized during that time and would never have performed on TV. It's very possible that Mr. Hackman would have dodged a bullet on this decision. So the role ended up with Robert Reed, who didn't want the part. He had been auditioning for Paramount Studios for three various shows and this has been his least favored. He previously had numerous disagreements with the show over the years so he did not appear on the final show.
The Brady Bunch TV Series was one of the last shows to showcase fun at home, comedy scenarios, full of children, and middle class parents. Each one of these happy faces lived inside a 4 bedroom property in LA suburbs. The Brady Bunch story revolves around family camping trips, kids getting together and rivalry for the household telephone. There is one time, when their Dad placed a payphone and not to overlook the conflict in the restroom.
During the start of The Brady Bunch Series, the children's age ranged from 7 to 14 years old. The eldest son, Greg portrayed by Barry Williams became a teenage idol. In 1971 he was receiving 6,500 fan letters per week. Barry, together with the others decided to put their TV screen success into recording careers in 1970s but without notable success.
