This is the fascinating story of what really took place on the set of one of television's most beloved series, "The Brady Bunch." This one has it all: juicy teen romance, the escapades the kids got into on the set, the off-screen squabbles between actor Robert Reed and series creator Sherwood Schwartz, and more. The book includes chapters about many of the "Brady" reincarnations as well as a detailed episode guide, complete with interesting trivia bits about each episode. If you like watching "The E! True Hollywood Story," this is a perfect read for you.

Growing up watching the Brady Bunch, this was a great book to find the "scoop" of what was going on when I was too young to know!
This book is so detailed, complete with pictures and even info about the dog. It outlined several of the episodes and everything you want to know behind the scenes. It was very good and I learned things I never knew about the show and it's characters.
