The idea for The Brady Bunch originated with television producer Sherwood Schwartz. The CW docuseries, TV We Love, features the cast and crew of iconic shows sharing behind-the-scenes stories about how their classics came to life.
"It was at breakfast, and he was reading a paper," Juber said. Lloyd added that there was an article that claimed, "For every married couple that comes together that has previous husbands and wives, they bring children into the marriage." This led Schwartz to come up with the concept of a blended television family.
Schwartz concurred his daughter's statement in the book The American Family on Television, “Television was loaded with happily married couples, and single widows and widowers, but there wasn’t any show that revolved around the marital amalgamation of two families.”
However, it was the wildly popular success of the 1968 Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda film Yours, Mine, and Ours that inadvertently helped The Brady Bunch get made. The family comedy film followed the story of a widow and a widower who merge their 18 children into a single blended family.
According to History.com, the television legend believed the film's executives had stolen his original idea. It was later revealed that the film was based on a true story.
Therefore, instead of its original title, the series was renamed The Bradley Bunch and later, The Brady Bunch. The series would run from 1969 through 1974 on ABC and make small-screen stars of Robert Reed, Florence Henderson, Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, Maureen McCormick, Eve Plumb, Susan Olsen, and Ann B. Davis.
