Loved and love the Bradys, always. ;) Nope, Partridge Family debuted a year later on ABC, in September 1970, after Brady Bunch debuted in September 1969. The Partridges aired just for 4 years, though, so that both shows were cancelled in the spring of 1974 and ended their respective primetime runs with repeats during the first week of September ‘74.

I always wondered why Mike Brady, in designing their “dream home,” only included one bathroom for a family of 8.

Cool find and share! Gene Hackman as Mr. Brady? I love Gene, but the show wouldn’t have been the same. Hate to say it, but glad he didn’t get the job.

I read that too, in a book called “Sitcom Style” (which every true TV-holic should own!) The house is somewhere in North Hollywood, they say. It’s a split-level, but since the set designers went for a two-story set the show had to attach a fake window to the house to make it appear two-story.

The house they used for the exterior shots- I read that the owners put up a fence to keep out people who were looking for the Bradys.

Carol’s husband was supposed to be dead. There was an episode that brought the “husband” back, but I don’t remember the details. We’re talking about an episode I didn’t even finish watching something like over 30 years ago.

All the kids shared the same last name, so the the girls would have to have been adopted.

I think I read a couple of years ago about the house they used for the exterior shots. It sold for an astonishingly high price, but I can’t remember what it was.

My next door neighbors are named Mike and Carol. I enjoy that every time I say hi to them.

Yeah, they only said anything about step-parents in the beginning. I think I remember something about the kids fighting or something and Mike saying “the only steps in this house are those” and pointing to the staircase. Is this accurate? And I’m up for part two!

Here is something funny… The Brady kids went on tour after they sang a couple of times on the show.

Many fans wondered why the Partidge Kids didn’t tour like David Cassidy, since their whole show was about a singing group, but ironically their child actors didn’t actually sing.

Q: Didn’t the Partidge Family and the Brady Bunch premiere on the exact same night?
