Here’s the story of a bunch of Bradys … making a show about teens living together for five years. Five long years of close quarters, good-looking castmates, and plenty of hormonal changes. So, is it really shocking that the occasional Brady-on-Brady hookup happened? Or at least a scandalous crush?
The Brady Bunch portrayed a wholesome, morally upright family whose worst onscreen misdeeds might have included sneaking a cigarette, fabricating a boyfriend for attention, or tattling on a sibling. Off-screen, however, the actors behind the blonde-tressed Brady girls and Mike’s all-American boys were far less innocent, navigating the same temptations and growing pains as any other teenagers, a reality that often clashed with their squeaky-clean TV image.
