subject: Access The Brady Bunch Television Show On The Internet [print this page] Brady Bunch is the sitcom which began 4 decades back. The series was made when Sherwood Schwartz found out that twenty to thirty percent of households had at least one kid from past marriage. Bearing this in mind, he wrote a thirty minute initial show. Where a widow having 3 daughters marries a widower with 3 sons and they all end up going to the honeymoon together.
As it came to selecting the cast, the producers believe it could be much easier if the children had the same hair color as their parents. The problem started when the casting of the children started initially, so, in order to support their plan they have to have three blonde girls, 3 blonde boys, three brunette girls and 3 brunette boys.
Carol's part was meant to be performed by Joyce Bulifant from Mary Tyler Moore Show. But when Florence Henderson auditioned, she nailed her screen test. So Florence ended up getting the role, consequently, it means that girls would be blonde. A number of people think it would be much better if the girls were brunettes. Since they think, brunettes seem naughty.
The Academy Award winning legend, Gene Hackman was chosen to depict the part of the architect father Mike Brady. Paramount Studios did not consent to this, believing that Hackman wasn't known in that time and wouldn't have performed on television. It's very possible that Mr. Hackman could have dodged a bullet on this choice. Therefore the role ended up with Robert Reed, who didn't want the part. He had been auditioning for Paramount Studios for three various shows and this has been his least favorite. He had numerous disagreements with the show around the years so he did not show up on the final show.
