List of The Brady Bunch episodes


The Brady Bunch is a sitcom created by Sherwood Schwartz. The show follows Mike Brady, a widowed architect with sons Greg, Peter and Bobby. Mike marries Carol Martin, whose daughters from her previous marriage are Marcia, Jan and Cindy. They all move into the house designed by Mike in Los Angeles' suburbs. Also living with them is the housekeeper, Alice, and the dog, Tiger. Most of the episodes revolved around the kids and their misadventures that often led to Mike's "lectures."
The series premiered on ABC on September 26, 1969. The series ran for five seasons, with all 117 episodes originally airing on Fridays. The series ran in the 8 p.m. U.S. Eastern time slot, with the exception of season two, which aired at 7:30 p.m. Throughout its original run The Brady Bunch received mostly negative reviews and never broke into the Nielsen top 30. Ratings, however, were moderate enough to remain for five seasons. Ratings began to dip in season five, and in order to boost viewership of its much-needed younger audience, Schwartz introduced a new character: the Bradys' cousin Oliver late in the season. Schwartz's plan failed, and the series was canceled before the start of the 1974 fall season.
Of the nine main cast members, only Florence Henderson, Ann B. Davis, and Barry Williams appear in all 117 episodes. Robert Reed does not appear in two episodes. Each of the other five Brady kids is absent from one of five different episodes during season two. The show also featured a number of guest stars of that era, such as Davy Jones, Desi Arnaz Jr., Vincent Price, Joe Namath and Deacon Jones; of these, only Vincent Price did not play himself.
The episodes aired on ABC in an order different from when they were produced. When put into syndication, the episodes began airing in the order in which they were made. On the DVD releases, all the episodes are in the order in which they originally aired.
