Hey, I Remember This Show: The Brady Bunch

A more successful version of the blended family theme than Accidental Family. In fact, this is probably one of the most famous sitcoms -- for better or worse -- of the 1970s. It does not hurt that its blended family theme seemed to anticipate the big divorce epidemic of the mid-1970s when divorce became more and more common in American society and a lot of real-life families had to learn how to blend like the Bradys. Not that the Bradys were a product of divorce. In fact, there seemed to be times on the original show when the writers forgot that both parents had been married before and that the father was a widower and the mother a widow. But maybe that was my imagination.
