Beware of flying footballs . Did you watch yesterday's video ?

This was very nostalgic for me, I think my sister Barbara loved this show. She's now passed and it gave me happy thoughts of our childhood. Thanks Adam!

I loved this show! It was all in syndication by the time I saw it but still a big piece of my childhood. I liked the reunions too!

The Brady House DID have a quiet life for ten years before the Brady Bunch came along in 1969. This tri-level ranch home, located at 11222 Dilling Street in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County, was built in 1959 by Mr. and Mrs. Luther Carson who were Southern California real estate developers. The couple had this home custom built in the Studio City area when their previous home fell victim to the construction of the Ventura Freeway a few miles away. The Carsons resided and raised their family there quietly for a decade until Sherwood Schwartz, producer of the Brady Bunch, came knocking on their double front doors in 1969. He propositioned the Carsons to use the exterior of the their house as the home for the characters of his newest television production, a series that featured architect Michael Brady and his newly blended family consisting of three sons of his own, a new wife with three girls of her own, a live-in maid, and a shaggy dog. Mr. Schwartz thought the Carson house, as viewed from the front elevation, exemplified the idealistic home that an architect would self-design and raise a family in. A deal was made with the homeowners to feature establishing exterior shots of their home only, with the agreement to never do interior or recurring filming on the premises. Therefore, all exterior shots of the Carson house were filmed at several different angles from the street in front of the house over the course of one or two days in the summer of 1969, and the same shots were inserted into individual episodes through the entire run of the series. A false window was temporarily hung on the front A-Frame section of the house to give the illusion of two stories, and a window to the right of the front entryway was covered to fall into alignment with the floor plan of the studio set under construction at Paramount Studios in a different part of the city. Two vehicles were provided by The Chrysler Corporation, a blue 1969 Plymouth Fury convertible, and a tan 1969 Plymouth Satellite station wagon, to portray the Brady's vehicles as they pulled into the driveway, parked in front of the house, etc. All interior shots were filmed on a newly constructed set, depicting a fictional interior of the Brady house, on a soundstage within the Paramount Studios compound . Since the soundstage set was already designed and under construction before the Carson house was cast to portray the exterior of the Brady house, some modifications were designed in after the fact to mimic certain elements of the exterior facade, such as the raised foyer with double entry doors and faux stonework to match the real stone veneering on that on the exterior of the Carson house. The exterior shots of the Carson house continued through the five year run of the Brady Bunch series until 1974, yet the Carson house did change ownership in 1973, fourteen years after it was built.. Mr. Carson had since passed away, and Mrs. Carson chose to sell her home to Mr. and Mrs. McCallister who agreed to the continuing usage of the establishing exterior shots through the remainder of the series, and also subsequent Brady series as well.

This triggers so many good memories...Just awesome ! Thanks for posting !

I always enjoy your filming location videos. Brady Bunch was a daily show for me back in high school (along with Gilligan's Island!) Watched your entire video. :D

I love these TV and Movie filming locations. I really like the way you look for the smallest of details to try and match them up together after all these years. Great vlog as always.

Pork Chops

The Brady Bunch is one of my all time favorite shows!!! I'm thrilled

I noticed it was for sale a few weeks ago and the realtor mentioned in the article that he was probably going to get a lot of people who just wanted to see the house and not buy. Wonder how many calls he’s gotten by such people. I loved that show. One of my favorites.

I didn’t add a comment at first, the Brady Bunch was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I wish I could buy the old house.Thanks for the memories.

Houses from the 60's and 70's had so much more character than houses today.

I grew up watching the Brady Bunch, every Friday night- it was Brady time 8pm!!! Im glad i grew up in that era of simple, wholesome living!! Today, the world is so different !!! Im 56 now and can still catch an episode of the Brady Bunch and enjoy it!!!!

If I remember correctly, I read once upon a time that the missing window on the side of the house was not real. They didn't like the look of the house and thought it needed a window, so they added a faux window. If you notice in the picture on your phone it doesn't seem to be flush and protrudes a few inches from the face. Thanks for the vids WooMan

Adam, the Beverly Hillbillies mansion is up for sale too. I don't know how close you can actually get to it but I'd love to see you do a video about it if you could.

Filming Locations my favourite! 👍

What a beautiful shot of these homes. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I think “Sam and Alice” would be a fun spin off.

The window you mentioned, was a prop window.

At a young age I was always sort of confused about that external shot of house. Because the 2nd story shown is on the LEFT side of the house.

I’ve always loved that house.
