The Way We All Became The Brady Bunch
The Way We All Became The Brady Bunch: How the Canceled Sitcom Became the Beloved Pop Culture Icon We Are Still Talking About Today | Kimberly Potts
5 posts | 3 read | 9 to read
In celebration of the Brady Bunch's 50th anniversary, TV writer Kimberly Potts writes a Seinfeldia-like definitive history of the show that changed the family sitcom and made an indelible impact on pop culture. There isn't a person in this country who hasn't heard of The Brady Bunch. Whether it's the show they watched growing up, or the one their parents did--whether adored, or great to poke fun at--The Brady Bunch is unarguably one of the most enduring and inspiring TV shows of our time. It's lived a dozen lives, from its original comedy debut and big-screen movies, to the Emmy-winning TV auteurs it has inspired--everyone from Vince Gilligan to Jill Soloway--and promises to live many more. In The Way We All Became the Brady Bunch, TV and pop culture writer Kimberly Potts will draw upon her deep knowledge of and appreciation for The Brady Bunch and television and pop culture history, as well as her contacts, connections, and experience, to provide an industry insider narrative of The Brady Bunch. With fresh interviews, The Way We All Became the Brady Bunch will examine the show's lasting effects on its audience and take readers behind-the-scenes and into the lives of our most beloved characters, all to document why The Brady Bunch was one of the most groundbreaking shows of its time--and why it remains to this day, unforgettable.

🎶 “Clowns never laughed before...” 🎶

I had forgotten that was one of my favorite moments, and this book hits the highlights from the series and after the series. Anyone remember the actual boxing matches with Danny Bonaduce? Or the 90s films? Or all the TV specials?

Really just a great look at Brady‘s culture impact overall. There‘s also the behind-the-scenes feuds and the best parts of all the stars‘ memoirs! Thanks @Sace ! #audiobook

Sace 🎶Beanstalks never grew..... 🎶 And I had finally erased that tune from my head 😂 This was such a fun book. And of course I've watched a few episodes on Hulu since I read this. 4y
Megabooks @Sace lol!! I want to watch the HGTV series with the house. 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I watched A Very Brady Christmas more times than I care to admit. I liked the show a lot as a kid but haven't watched in years. I should look up that HGTV special. I like the mid-century design of the house. 4y

Megabooks @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick it‘s on almost all the streaming platforms, so I might watch a few favs now, and I definitely think the house special will be fun! 4y
britt_brooke I loved the 90s movies! 😆 I used to watch reruns of the show, too, always coveting their house. 💚 4y
Megabooks @britt_brooke oh I know!! You and I were just the right age to really enjoy both the series and the movies! Did you watch My Fair Brady on VH-1? 4y
britt_brooke @Megabooks I never watched that one. Was it any good? 4y
Megabooks @britt_brooke hilariously bad!! It was Christopher Knight living with/dating/marrying Adrienne - the winner of ANTM 1! 😂😂 4y
Cinfhen Thanks for the tag!!! Of course I‘m all over this one 🥳For some reason the song I remember MOST is
🎶Sunshine day when they sing as the Silver Platters 💖
4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I can only remember part of that one, but it‘s coming back. Is that the “Autumn turns to winter and then winter turns to spring” one? Anyway, I thought you‘d like this one! 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen just watched it on YouTube!! I was thinking of a different one. 4y
Cinfhen Is the song you were thinking about when Bobby‘s voice cracks??? 🎵 When it's time to change, you've got to rearrange....

Megabooks I think I asked you this on Instagram, but would it be good as an audiobook? 4y
Sace @Megabooks you did 😊 I think it could work as an audiobook too. 4y

I saw this on Instagram... I'm pretty sure from a #Litten on Instagram... but thanks to Instagram's screwy timeline algorithm I can't find the post again so I can't give proper credit. Anyhoo...got this from overdrive and I'm really enjoying it.
