I think those episodes set in Hawaii are some of the most memorable television of all time! The Brady Bunch Hour though... not so much. I used to have these little china animals from a brand of tea as a kid and the thing I used to play with them most was Brady Bunch scenarios of some kind. A kitten was Cindy and a furry pig with tusks was Mr. Brady. Also I think Alice was a cocker-spaniel and Greg was a hippo. I'm not sure who was the frog.
Peter, but really Sean Cassidy (Hardy Boys) and Randolph Mantooth (Emergency) were the guys I had any actual pics of, and Dan Haggerty (of course), and later Dirk Benedict! TMI?
Mike Lookinland did not want to do it, so he asked for double the salary hoping they would fire him. Not only did they give it to him, they increased all their salaries. The producers really wanted it to happen. For me, it's all good. All part of the story.
One more fact about The Brady Bunch Hour, it's the only variety show in the history of TV to have a pool.
The Brady Bunch Hour was pretty bad, but honestly no worse than most of the other similar variety shows of that era. Even when the talent on a given show was greater, the skits were typically so lame that it's difficult to believe, in retrospect, that there were so many shows like this in the mid to late '70s. I agree with beccabear67 -- Peter was the cutest boy on that show by far. And he grew up to be quite the handsome man, too, at least until 10 years ago or so. (I haven't seen him in anything recently so I have no idea what he looks like now.)
I bought the paperback book about The Brady Bunch, and have read several accounts on the actors. I wish I never had because it has ruined the show for me. Now, instead of just enjoying the shows, my mind is clouded with all the things we know today, from Robert Reed's obsession with fats, Barry Williams' date with Florence Henderson, Williams and Maureen McCormick making out in Tiger's doghouse, drug addictions,and the rest. Took all the fun out of it for me. But, at least that didn't happen with reading about Gilligan's Island.
Well, given the age that I am now, I'd have to say.....Alice! (Hope Sam doesn't come after me for saying that).
Do you really want to risk upsetting a guy who has both a meat grinder and an easy way to dispose of bodies? Oh sure he looks like a harmless guy, but who really knows...
I don't remember, but it's a book by Sherwood Schwartz the creator and executive producer of both TV shows.
Had this book when i was a kid, the first I ever read a novel all the way thru. We had just moved outta state and I had no friends at the time so I read this that summer.
