The Brady parents each come from previous marriages, but no one ever talks about it. Mike is a widow, but no one explains whether Carol got divorced or lost her husband. The kids seem to adjust rather quickly to living with strangers, and they never mention their other parents.
After the first season, it feels like Mike and Carol have been together all along and actually had all those kids together.
The Brady kids are often made fun of for their optimism. The kids might not get along perfectly at all times, but they're generally perky and like to work together. The children all become upset at different points, but their happiness outshines any troubles. The extra cheer might be an escape for viewers, but it's not realistic.
Alice is the Brady family's faithful housekeeper, and Carol clearly can't manage without her. Alice is up for any challenge and does far more for this family than cook and clean the kitchen. She is sometimes underappreciated, but she rarely lets it get to her. Alice's ability to keep her cool with all those kids is unbelievable.

Ironic since his appearance coincided with the show jumping the shark.
Oh, I thought this was about that firearms confiscation outfit....
Never mind...............
You left out Tom, whose now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I always wondered, if Carol was divorced, why her ex did not object to Mike Brady adopting the girls. (He must have, since their last name was Brady.) And evidently the girls didn’t mind losing their biological dad’s last name, or never visiting him or having a visit from him, or even mentioning him. The divorce couldn’t have been long ago, since Cindy was so young at the beginning of the series. All I can figure is, Carol’s ex must have been a real SOB. Nobody missed him, nobody visited him, nobody minded losing his name!
“Where are the other 7 things?”

Pay up, if you really wanna know!
He was also in an episode of CHiPs.
Greg Brady was in an episode of Adam 12.

Probably a Democrat.

Ann Romano of One Day at a Time (played by Bonnie Franklin) dumped her husband Ed Cooper (played by Joseph Campanella) for no reason whatsoever, although he did try to play a part in his daughter's lives.
I see you what you did there. Lol
Happy to say No comment, never watched a minute
Mike was an architect, what possessed him to build a family home with only 3 bedrooms and a bathroom shared by 6 kids of both sexes?
The strangest thing is that they were high school kids in the 70s and there was not a bong in the house.
I understood that reference!
I wouldnt be surprised if that was the reasoning behind casting him,
Where he knows people that can make a nuclear reactor from a coconut but can’t figure out how to fix the hole in the boat.

Television is an illusion it ain’t real.
That is a really good point. LOL
On file at the county lock up! Where else would they be?
