Seen by many as an American cultural icon, “The Brady Bunch” is undeniably one of the greatest old-style family sitcoms. It’s been nearly 50 years since the first episode of the show aired back in 1969.
Although it was never a massive rating success on it’s release, it was definitely a staple show that each successive generation watched as they grew up. If you’re anything like me, you probably miss this classic show and are wondering what the cast members have been up to since.
Let’s take a look at what each cast member has been up to since the show and to see what they look like now.
