Not for Sherwood Schwartz and his son Lloyd, who “blended” their talents together to write Brady, Brady, Brady-an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most successful family series in TV history, The Brady Bunch.

Taking an exclusive tour of everything Brady, you’ll marvel at the stories, take pleasure in more than 50 rare photographs, and transport yourself into the show you love with the insider details you never knew. Sherwood and Lloyd Schwartz carefully and nostalgically recall all the details - great, small, funny, frustrating, and everything in between - that came with the show. From how the show was developed, pitched, greenlighted, cast, produced, and embraced, to ultimately how it changed the TV and cultural landscape of America - this book really has it all. Now, for the first time, the show’s famous creator, writer, and producer Sherwood Schwartz and his son, writer and producer Lloyd Schwartz, share with their loyal audience the complete first-hand behind-the-scenes story of The Brady Bunch. Whether you’ve been a devoted fan since its inception in the late 1960s, or are a more recent Brady buff thanks to its steady airing in syndication, there is an undeniable shared delight that comes from the simple-natured, humor-filled world of that picture-perfect family. The Brady Bunch is one of the most beloved series to ever grace American television screens. ![]()
