Sherwood Schwartz’s legendary American comedy The Brady Bunch graced ABC network television screens from September 26, 1969, until March 8, 1974. The touching story revolves on the life of a big mixed family consisting of three boys and three girls. Six children total.
Together in matrimony, the key characters—widowed architect Mike Brady (Robert Reed) and the endearing Carol Martin (Flower Henderson) mix their separate families. With Carol bringing her three girls into the marriage, the newly created Brady family sets out a series of adventures guided from their comfortable two-story residence in a lovely Los Angeles suburb.
Originally greeted with mixed reviews, “The Brady Bunch” gradually attracted a loyal audience, especially among younger viewers. Viewers responded strongly to the show’s honest portrayal of family relationships, which along with comedy and life teachings confirmed its syndicated favorite status. With their unique mix of personalities, the Brady household gave viewers a sympathetic and appealing window into the difficulties and successes of family life.
