Plot: Carol Martin was either a widow or divorcee who married Mike, a widower with three sons. With Carol's three daughters and Alice the housekeeper, this newly-created family unit moved in together and went through their share of trials and tribulations. From Jan's middle child angst to Greg's attempts at a music career, the Bradys stuck together through good times and bad, although at the end of 30 minutes, everything was always good. The Brady home was not a studio facade, but an actual suburban home located at 11222 Dilling St., not far from Universal Studios Hollywood.
