  • Making Room for the Brady Bunch: the Syndication of Suburban Discomfort
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 15, No. 1 (2019) Making Room for The Brady Bunch: The Syndication of Suburban Discomfort Janna Jones Introduction The Brady Bunch, created by Sherwood Schwartz, is an American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) sitcom that aired on Friday nights from 1969 to 1974. The show was not a hit with audiences or critics in its prime time run; it became a popular culture icon only after it went into syndication in 1976. The Brady Bunch found its audience once it began airing on weekdays, during after school hours. It has now has been in continuous syndication in the United States and around the globe for the last four decades. Because of the show's popularity dur- ing its lengthy syndication, two generations of audiences share a common after- school legacy of watching The Brady Bunch. In spite of the show’s saccharine storylines and bland representations of early 1970s white, middle class suburbia, the Brady family and their suburban home are deeply rooted in twentieth centu- ry popular memory. The Brady Bunch was dismissed during its prime time run because it was oblivious to the profound social and cultural conflicts of the early 1970s. Four months after the show premiered in 1969, Richard Nixon became president; he resigned from office five months after The Brady Bunch was cancelled. The five years of the Nixon administration was a period of social and political upheavals Janna Jones is a professor of Creative Media and Film. in the School of Communica- tion, at Northern Arizona University. A twentieth-century historian, Jones’ scholarship focuses on the history of cinema going, architectural preservation, historic movie thea- ters, amateur filmmaking, public exhibition, urban and suburban history and public art.

  • Nikki Peterson Social History of Television Series Analysis: The
    Nikki Peterson Social History of Television Series Analysis: The Brady Bunch In 1966, Sherwood Schwartz conceptualized the idea for his new show, The Brady Bunch, after reading about the rising divorce rate in America, also learning that thirty percent of married couples had children from other marriages. The sitcom born of this societal aspect has since become one of the most recognizable shows on television. After creating and producing Gilligan’s Island, Schwartz hoped to make another hit series, this time focusing on the lives of a blended middle-class family. After pitching his idea to three separate networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, the show was seen as too unrealistic and put on the backburner. The far-fetched idea that a man living on an architect’s salary and supporting a wife, six children, and a maid while living in a posh two-story home wasn’t what network executives were looking to air. However, after the success of Yours, Mine, and Ours in 1968, the show was put into action (Winans). Network executives saw similarities in the film and sitcoms’ blended families, and ran the pilot episode on September 26, 1969 on ABC. The Brady Bunch never managed to top the rating lists or gain any critical acclaim during its five year run time, and much of its popularity didn’t occur until the 1990’s (Newton). Yet unlike edgier, more progressive shows like All in the Family, M*A*S*H, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Brady Bunch lacked a certain freshness, stubbornly clinging to the morally-centered traditional family life of the 1950s post-war era of television.

  • List of the Brady Bunch Episodes 1 List of the Brady Bunch Episodes
    List of The Brady Bunch episodes 1 List of The Brady Bunch episodes The Brady Bunch is a situation comedy created by Sherwood Schwartz, who also created Gilligan's Island.[1] The Brady Bunch follows Mike Brady (Robert Reed), a widowed architect with sons Greg (Barry Williams), Peter (Christopher Knight) and Bobby (Mike Lookinland). Mike marries Carol Martin (née Tyler) (Florence Henderson), whose daughters from her previous marriage are Marcia (Maureen McCormick), Jan (Eve Plumb) and Cindy (Susan Olsen). The wife and daughters take the Brady surname, and they all move in together into Mike's home in suburban Los Angeles, California.[1] The cast is rounded out by Mike's live-in housekeeper Alice (Ann B. The Brady Bunch opening grid, season one Davis), and the boys' dog Tiger. The series was produced by Paramount Television in association with Redwood Productions, and premiered on ABC on September 28, 1969. The series ran for five seasons, with all 117 episodes originally airing on Fridays. The series ran in the 8 p.m. time slot, with the exception of season 2, which aired at 7:30 p.m.[1] [2] The show also featured a number of sports and TV stars of that era, such as Davy Jones, Desi Arnaz Jr, Vincent Price, Joe Namath and Deacon Jones. Throughout its original run The Brady Bunch received mostly negative reviews and never broke the Nielsen ratings top ten.[2] Even with negative reviews, The Brady Bunch managed to maintain within the Nielsen top thirty. Ratings, however, began to dip, and in order to boost the ratings of its much-needed younger audience, Schwartz introduced a new character: the Bradys' cousin Oliver (Robbie Rist) late in the fifth season.

  • Ann B. Davis, Queer Attractions, and Trans Media
    Quinlan Miller and Erica Rand Hot for TV, Hot for Ann B.: Ann B. Davis, Queer Attractions, and Trans Media Abstract This piece presents an interpersonal archive in tribute to the actor Ann B. Davis (1926-2014), an archive located on YouTube, in memory, and in the more traditional document repositories of institutionalized archives. While Davis was gender-conforming enough, by racialized, white supremacist standards, to find employment, notably as a cast member of television sitcoms The Bob Cummings Show (NBC/CBS 1955-59) and The Brady Bunch (ABC 1969-1974), Davis generally appeared as gender- nonconforming against the particular ideals of desirability represented by other characters and media personalities. The authors use a dialogue format to think about how histories of watching, listening, repurposing, and fandom work to identify, create, and shape trans media and a trans media archive. Considering their distinct but overlapping attractions to Davis as circuits of queer desire, the authors suggest that the trans dynamics of these circuits include not simply the fictional narratives of transgender characters but also the performances of characters, like those played by Davis, whose gender nonconformity in context draws out the structures and dimensions of gender normativities and cisnormativities. The archive is often conceived as a physical site in memory, and in the more traditional document where people find materials already acquired, repositories of institutionalized archives, this is an categorized, and managed by others. We share a archive as queerly formed as we are: a trans fag on the different kind of archive: an interpersonal archive Gen X-Millennial cusp and a non-trans femme in in tribute to Ann B.

Bottom row, Eve Plumb, Mike Lookinland, Robert Reed and Cindy Olson. Maybe it was just a matter of decades before The Brady Bunch would create something just as risqué as that sitcom was clean- scrubbed. “If you think about the show itself, it was already in ’69 a fish out of water,” said Christopher Knight, the 60-year-old actor who once played pubescent Peter on the iconic family comedy. “It was already a show whose time had come and gone. Hell, I missed being drafted by two years. We were in the middle of fricking Vietnam.” Lloyd Schwartz, who helped create the series with his father Sherwood, was always an older- brother figure to Knight who would help coach the young actor through some of the show’s more demanding dialogue—like the time middle-brother Peter tried to create a more engaging personality by impersonating screen legend Humphrey Bogart. In that episode, Peter famously announces the family’s dinner menu with a Bogart-esque “pork chops and applesauce,” a line that has lived in infamy in Brady Bunch lore. “I don’t know what we’ve learned about humanity, but something about that moment clicked with all kinds of people,” Knight said with a laugh. “But as a result, I’m asked to say ‘pork chops and applesauce’ for the rest of my life.
