"Here's the story of a lovely lady..." When you hear those strains, you know that The Brady Bunch is about to begin. The ensemble cast sitcom was created by Sherwood Schwartz and ran from 1969-1974. It's like a time capsule of the 70s. The wild clothes are a perfect example of the 70s style.
Mike Brady (Robert Reed), a widowed architect, marries Carol Martin (Florence Henderson). They each have 3 children...3 boys and 3 girls -- Greg Brady (Barry Williams), Peter (Christopher Knight), Bobby (Mike Lookinland), Marcia (Maureen McCormick), Jan (Eve Plumb) and Cindy (Susan Olsen). Along with the Bunch is a live-in housekeeper named Alice Nelson (Ann B. Davis), a dog named Tiger and Cindy's doll, Kitty Karry-All.
Mike and Carol adopt each other's children and live in a house designed by Mike in the Los Angeles suburbs.
Themes of the show run from sibling rivalry to puppy love, self-image, responsibility, dating, grades and more.
There are appearances from many celebrities, including Desi Arnaz, Jr., Ken Berry, Don Ho, Imogene Coca, Davy Jones (Monkees), Joe Namath and Vincent Price.
The series was syndicated in 1975 and led to several reunion films and spin-offs.
You can catch some episodes on MeTV (Catchy Comedy), Hulu and Paramount+. Our member @RasmaSandra said that you can watch episodes on Pluto TV for free. Thank you for the tip!!
If you love the 70s, especially the wild clothes and groovy dialogue, don't miss this one.

I was about Cindy's age when this came out (and also the youngest of three girls). I thought Peter was the cutest!

@LindaOHio Yes! I thought Danny was tiresome, Susan Dey was the coolest, and David Cassidy was dreamy.

@LindaOHio - The French TV was a lot for French programs, they want to keep their French culture. I was very busy working in the 70's I had no time for shows and music, often we stopped working that it was almost midnight.

I have heard of this programme but I’m not sure it was shown in the Uk. I have never seen it, although it might be because I’m too young.

Are you one of those youngsters? I'm probably old enough to be your grandmother.

I watched some episodes growing up...was an interesting show. I didn't know it was on Hulu, maybe just because I didn't go looking for it.
