Book Description
This is the inside story of The Brady Bunch as only Barry Williams could tell it! In this updated Collector's Edition are updated information and numerous never-before-seen photos of this classic American TV show and its stars.
Think you know everything about Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marcia, Jan, Cindy, Mike, Carol, Alice-- and the people who played them? Think again! From drunken golf-cart races across the Paramount lot to make-out sessions in Tiger's doghouse, Barry tells the real Brady story, previously hidden behind the carefully-groomed facade of TV's favorite family. In 31 anecdote-packed chapters, Barry Williams takes readers from the beginnings of the show through its wildly successful run, and on through all the Brady Bunch reunions, wrapping up with a facscinating chapter on "Whatever Happened to..."
Also included in this pop culture classic is a play-by-play of every Brady Bunch episode, making Growing Up Brady the ultimate Brady Bunch collectible--as well as a delcious slice of Hollywood gossip.
The Bradys remain one of America's most loved and admired TV families. From 1969 through 1974, The Brady Bunch aired every Friday night on ABC. The show reamins one of TV's highest-rated shows, reaching 72 million viewers during its two evening repeats on Nick at Nite.

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.
