The Brady Bunch is the comedy show that begun 4 decades back. The series was made when Sherwood Schwartz found out that 20 to 30 percent of families had at least one kid from past marriage. With this in mind, he wrote a thirty minute initial show. Where a widow having three daughters marries a widower having 3 sons and they all wind up coming to the honeymoon together.

When it came to choosing the cast, the creators think it would be a lot easier if the kids had the same hair color as their parents. The problem started when the casting of the kids started first, so, in order to back up their plan they have to have 3 blonde girls, 3 blonde boys, 3 brunette girls and 3 brunette boys.

Carol's part was meant to be played by Joyce Bulifant from Mary Tyler Moore Show. However, when Florence Henderson auditioned, she nailed her screen test. So Florence wound up getting the role, thus, it means that all girls were going to be blonde. A number of people believe it becomes much better if the girls were brunettes. Since they feel, brunettes appear mischievous.

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 was one of the last shows to feature fun around the house, comedy situations, full of children, and middle class parent. All these smiling faces lived in a four bedroom house in LA suburbs. The Brady Bunch plot revolves around family camping trips, children getting along and competition for the family point. There was one time, when their Dad placed a payphone and not to forget the war in the bathroom.

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.
