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.

Carol killed her late husband and fed him to the tigers.
Nobody told Cindy that “Snitches get Stitches!”
It was my understanding that her first husband died.
Then Alice the Housekeeper came along as well. Which stretched all credulity.
I went through many of the other titles on that site..
It is a VERY biased website that fits very well into the;
“If you don’t agree with me, then you are so wrong”.
The site itself seems to be about Feminism and the terrible things that were on sitcoms back in the 70s and 80s that “no living-room today would accept”.
You do know this a comedy show written by writers, right?
DON’T go to the website.. It is Femanazi galore :p
I thought he was a professor..l
