A widower with three sons marries a widow with three daughters. It's a sitcom family for the ages, with plenty of warmth and fuzziness (and constant fighting for the bathroom). The series debuted in 1969, but in many ways was a throwback to the '50s. It originally ran for five seasons on ABC, has remained popular in syndication and inspired theatrical (and TV) movies and a number of spin-offs.

What's Your Favorite Brady Bunch Episode? | TVGuide.com Asks.... | 3/10/2008
Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island (he also wrote the catchy Brady theme song), got his well-deserved Hollywood Walk of Fame star Friday. With Florence Henderson (who played Mrs. Carol Brady) and Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island) at his side, Schwartz joked that the Oscars had gotten the title of this year's Best Picture winner wrong. "Who says this is No Country For Old Men?" he joked. At 91, the kid's still got it!In honor of Schwartz's... read more

You Want Claire Huxtable Cooking on Thanksgiving | Today's News: Our Take | 11/20/2007

Carol Brady came in second (with 27 percent), though you know Alice is the one really working the magic behind that island.Other findings from the survey:• Peg Bundy is the TV mom you most want far, far away from the stove.• Speaking... read more
Brady Bunch Star's Bio Not a Kiss-Jan-and-Tell | Today's News: Our Take | 9/24/2007
Apparently it's not the story of two bi-curious girls named Brady. Though Maureen McCormick's forthcoming autobiography, Here's the Story, is chockablock with revelations relating to the actress' struggles with eating disorders, drug addiction and depression, it does not address any sort of Sapphic experimentation between her and Brady Bunch sis Eve Plumb. Addressing a story that hit the Internet last week and claimed that the book chronicles an on-set affair between Mo and Plumb, the book's... read more

Episode 6: "Diwali" | Kate's Office Blog | 11/1/2006
Happy belated Halloween. I understand that instead of Halloween office parties, this year there were Office Halloween parties. Get the difference? The word got out that this year there were a lot of Office-inspired Halloween costumes. It's true. Office-inspired Halloween costumes! We have officially arrived. How bizarre. How cool, but how bizarre. Let's hope those women, and in some cases men, who dressed like Meredith look good in a one-size-fits-all denim skirt. There are some fun Office... read more

Peter Brady's Perfect New Gig | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 4/17/2005
Christopher Knight was hoping this would happen. Though best known as Peter from The Brady Bunch, he is actually landing legitimate acting gigs that have nothing to do with the classic 1969-74 sitcom. Case in point: Tonight, he guest-stars on the season finale of Less Than Perfect (9:30 pm/ET on ABC). And, believe it or not, there's no wink or sly reference to his Brady past (not even a mention of pork chops and applesauce). So how did this all happen? A little show called The Surreal Life.... read more

Don Ho Meets Scooby-Doo | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 2/9/2005
Don Ho still hits the stage every week in Hawaii, singing "Tiny Bubbles," raising a glass to the vacationers and exclaiming, "Suck 'em up!" But it's the laid-back vocalist's 1972 Brady Bunch appearance (the one where Greg wore that spooky necklace) and a surreal daytime variety series, The Don Ho Show (with Ho more interested in his drink order than talking to his guests), that secured his spot as the tiki god of lounge culture. Next up, the King of Waikiki teams with a cartoon legend in ... read more

Brady Boy Behind the Camera | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/1/2004
As Brady Bunch devotees will recall, Bobby Brady grew up to become a race-car driver. But Mike Lookinland, the actor who played the youngest Brady boy, went racing down a different career path. After toying with the ideas of being a chemical engineer or an architect, Lookinland returned to the film industry, only this time behind the camera. He's currently the first assistant cameraman on the hit WB show Everwood."Where I am now is the pinnacle of the path I started on about 15 years ago," ... read more
