My childhood right there. The Brady Bunch a TV classic, and still enjoyable. Peter is a gentleman.

Peter was always my favorite character. Alice was my second favorite character.

The Brady Bunch is like the epitome of the term “cult classic”. When it aired I think it had decent ratings but not extreme. It really gained popularity in years of syndication. Just really connected with kids for decades after.

Yeah, pork chop and applesauce bit is my favorite because that’s what we used to have in the 60s with my mother. It was always pork chops and applesauce and macaroni and cheese so I could really relate.

Good interview, especially about ADD. I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 35 and then diagnosed with Asperger's at age 67. Yes, you reflect back and say "Oh, that makes sense." We are uniquely designed and I would not want to be anyone else by who I am, an artist, a business owner, and all over the place. LOL

Great interview with Christopher Knight. He is well spoken and has good stories to tell. Condolences on the passing of his younger brother. I liked his cameo in The Brady Bunch Movie and also his endorsement of Bosley hair restoration saying "This is my hair!"

I remember watching the Brady's in early mid seventies(73/74ish) and eating Chef boyardee Roller Coasters.they had just come out and I had one of those Brown TV dinner tables with the gold/brass trim in the gold rack you would take them out of. I was just pumped because the Brady Bunch was on and I had just somehow got my mom to buy me the New Roller coasters so double excitement!!!! If I remember right most chef boyardee had Red labels but the Roller coasters had Blue on it instead of Red. Seriously If I could go back to any time in life the 70's were just freakin cool!!!! I know it wasn't perfect but man way simpler and fun!!!!!! The music and the cars were great!!!!!

I can see where when you all were younger being a Brady kid could be a drag at some point trying to grow up after but I hope all the Brady SIX/Silver Platters all know you are SO LOVED and APPRECIATED by MILLIONS and MIllions of fans! We all wanted to be one of you!!!!!! I hope you all love your characters because we LOVE EACH OF YOUR characters EQUALLY. You all fulfilled something that happened to one of us or showed us what to do if something arose. We use to do Brady trivia in homeroom in school with each other or out at night driving around remembering an episode and getting another under age beer if you knew who said this Brady Line.......Mom always said don't ball in the house was it Bobby or Peter...quick????? Literally you all are AMERICA'S FAMILY!!!!!! Well at least for a lot of Late Baby Boomers and Most Gen Xers!!!!!

How interesting to me that Chris has been diagnosed with ADD (ADHD?) as an adult, and it just came out of left field. I was also, around the age 49. I was seeing a counselor for major depression and she wanted me to go see a (I can't remember what type of Dr. he was) specialized doctor because she noticed as I spoke about certain things, my speech slowed way down. After being in with the doctor for maybe 1/2 hour or so & answering all his questions, he asked me if I knew I had ADHD? I had heard about it but really didn't know what it was. When he told me that the "H" meant hyper I laughed & told him I was the least hyper person ever! He explained that it means in my brain, my brain was hyper then all I could do was cry because I knew what he meant now, and I wasn't dumb and lazy like I had been led to believe. My life has only gotten better since than!!! I have never heard anyone else share this, thank you Christopher!!!

What i found interesting was that the 'execs ' wanted the boys to have the hair color of the actor who played the dad BUT he was a widower so any one of them could've had the hair color of their tv mom that passed, right? Like Marsha wasn't a blond like Carol lol
