It’s safe to say that most of the cast members had braces at one point or another. We are sure that Sherwood Schwartz didn’t mind this at all, seeing that it only added to the show’s authenticity. Mike Lookinland, Susan Olson, Eve Plumb, and Maureen McCormick were all what you would call ‘Brace Face’ (if you’re a mean bully).
There was even an episode in the show called “Brace Yourself”, which features Marcia getting braces.
Brown-eyed Boy
"My brown-eyed boy, you, my brown-eyed boy. Do you remember when we used to sing"… Okay, so maybe the lyrics don’t go exactly like that, but Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady, was the only cast member with brown eyes.
This didn’t bother him much and he got along great with his fellow cast members despite their physical differences.
Kitty Karry-All
If you were a big fan of the TV series, then you would know that Cindy’s favorite doll on the show was Kitty Karry-All. The young actress and her doll were attached to one another.
We imagine that Susan Olsen really did have a strong attachment to the doll, considering that she was so young when filming the series. Needless to say, she didn’t go anywhere without her doll.
Name Swap
In the show, Robert Reed played the role of Mike Brady, and Mike Lookinland played the role of Robert Brady.
Schwartz did this as a play on words of their two names in real life, although we’re sure this led to a lot of confusion and slip-ups at times!
Mixed Family
The Brady Bunch was actually the first TV show to ever show a mixed family.
Although the show received criticism for how fast the children got used to their new family, it ended up being a success and many shows have since followed suit.
