Who could ever forget The Brady Bunch, the most iconic and relatable family show to ever be on the American screen? You might have watched all the episodes and became a huge fan of the two parents and their six children as they overcame various obstacles. But do you think you know everything about the show? Think again. Here are the most surprising and intriguing facts about The Brady Bunch that you probably never knew!
