- Before you make a comment, especially a snide one, of all times we could not get the video to flip horizontally into landscape mode to get wide shots. We had limited time to make a video and had to work with what was available to us. We felt very privileged to shoot what we did get, so please be kind and try to enjoy the video anyway. Thank you.
A walking tour of the HGTV-renovated Brady Bunch house located at 11222 Dilling Street in Studio City/North Hollywood, California. (No narration) We start in the red tiled entryway of the home, including the closet, just inside the double front doors. Down the steps, the perfectly replicated living room, kitchen, and family room, along with Mike's den and Alice's bedroom and bathroom are shown. Stepping up onto the same red tiled landing to the iconic staircase, the door at the top of steps reveals an oddly shaped closet behind it. Around the corner and down the hallway you'll see the recreated boys' and girls' bedrooms with the adjoining Jack and Jill bathroom, all in a line. Continuing downstairs again, we open a newly installed door in the dining area that leads to a section of the house that was not a part of the original sound stage set. Through it, we will explore the upper split-level master bedroom (Mr. and Mrs. Brady's room) and Greg's lower split-level "groovy attic" room, both recreated to their respective sets' original glory. As a bonus, there is a glimpse of a new bathroom off the kitchen, and a storage room behind the kitchen in the area referred to as the "service porch" on the original sound stage set that was filmed at Paramount Pictures. Enjoy the tour!
Now that's a real tour of the brady bunch house. And the lack of commentating gives it the feel of an eerie ghostly journey into the past. I love this video
Well said!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I originally uploaded Brady songs and series background music, but YT outlawed it and suggested I replace it with some of their own generic music. The short musical intro at the beginning is all I feasibly had time to find and insert. It kind of has a Brady/early 70's guitar vibe. It sort of gets you in the mood, and then the rest of the video is silent. I think it all works pretty well.
@@ckrtom2 thanks
@@retrounderground1 oh I see. You should leave it as is. It's perfect.
Thanks for sharing... I only wish you recorded this holding your phone landscape.
We tried but it was one of those technical difficulty times when the landscape mode would not work. Sorry.
@@retrounderground1 what can a individual do in order to take a tour of the house?
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB! THANK YOU!
As of January 2023, no known tours are yet given. I'd say the best way to get in is to have a friend or relative with HGTV, the security company that monitors the house, or better yet the surviving Brady actors.
This was SO nostalgic for me to watch !!! Crazy how gigantic the house really is on the inside after this tour !!!
There was no real house it was all pretend.
For all those who questioned why stay at home mom Carol needed a live in housekeeper, just imagine the daily grind of keeping a multi floor house this size clean and tidy with six growing children in it. Consider all the appliances, furnishings, knick-knacks and various surfaces collecting dust and smog grime that come in through windows, vents, doors, settling on clothes plus dirt carried in on shoes. You would thank your lucky stars you had help with those and other domestic chores. The work never ends because running a busy house is like being the sole proprietors of a small business.
Also don’t forget that Alice originally only had to take care of a house that contained just 3 boys and two parents. So the original “Mrs. Brady,” pre Carol, had it even cushier. For those who think the housekeeper idea was far-fetched for a middle class household, I think a more historical viewpoint might be in order. Domestic help for middle class households was dying out by the 1970’s, but it it was still very much a thing for professional middle class households to have a cook or a housekeeper on hand - particularly in mid-20th Century LA. It wasn’t anything fancy. It was just part of the culture back then. There wasn’t a lot in the way of retirement back then, and if you were older and single with no children to support you, becoming a domestic was a natural matter of course. In fact, prior to the 1970’s, there wasn’t a lot in the way of government assistance for older people at that time. So in decades and centuries prior to the 70’s and 80’s, becoming a domestic for a family meant you became integrated into that family, and you had a roof over your head, along with a small income. The history of domestic help in the United States is very interesting. Only in recent decades has this phenomenon died off.
Somebody from another country had the gall to assume Carol was just a lazy housewife and that Alice lived in the basement ! I question the observational skills taught in their school systems.
I raised six kids with close ages, I could’ve kept a housekeeper very busy!!!
Look up the name Vivian Maier. She was a live-in housekeeper by profession who was a talented but entirely unknown hobbyist street photographer, and once worked for Phil Donahue in his Winnetka, IL home. This lady was a sort of Alice-Fran Fine mash up with a much more serious demeanor.
@@China-Clay .... My former boss had four kids spanning eleven years---his wife didn't work and had a nanny to help out during the day. With a big house on a spacious lot, kids busy with school, sports and other activities along with meetings, appointments, volunteering, etc. there was always someone or something requiring attention. My old boss could very well afford to shell out the money for help and he did ---to be rewarded by a happy family life and a well functioning home.
I love it, the 1970's much better than the 2020
That’s because Cardi B didn’t exist yet 😂
I love the 70s to
I am 6 months younger than Maureen and yes the 70s were fun! She's a hottie even today! 5 in my family but very relatable to me.
When I watched "The Brady Bunch" as a kid, I never realized that the inside of the house was actually 'bigger' than the outside. (Though I noticed this pretty quickly with the Robinson Family's Jupiter 2 from "Lost in Space.") The fact that the renovators were able to complete this project and still keep the "curbside appearance" the way it was on the show is a testament to their creativity and skill. Very well done!
Definitely! All modifications to the exterior of the house were made in the rear which we never saw on TV (aside from the sound stage set back yard), so HGTV had freedom to do anything to get this place to come together as the Brady house.
I'm a 1960s kid and 1970s teenager.
The Brady house interior colors were spot on.
Harvest gold. Avocado green. Sunflower yellow and that Orange coppertone
possibly my favorite TV house... I can't believe they were able to pull this off!
I'm FLOORED! BLOWN AWAY! STUNNED! Being a life long Brady fan, I actually felt like I was living in the house watching the video! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!❤❤❤🥰
Simply incredible, how this all came about. Thank you Susan Olsen, Mike Lookinland, Eve Plumb, Christopher Knight, Maureen McCormick, Barry Williams and all those who contributed. I hope to see it for real someday. I'm 57 and grew up the youngest in a family of four kids, so I identified best with Cindy and Bobby.
That house is absolutely insane!.. one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
This video makes me very emotional.
The attention to detail that went into this is amazing.
BEST VIDEO OF A BRADY RENOVATION! MANY, MANY THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!
Too cool! Like a time capsule.
I watched the show when I was a kid in the late 60's from the very first season and being only six at the time, I thought the Bradys were a real family! How I wished I could've spent the day playing with Jan and Cindy! 😂. Thanks for the tour. Wish they'd turn the house into a museum.
I remember watching this on HGTV when the Brady kids helped to reno the replica of the iconic Brady house.
Wow, I feel 5 years old again. Watching on a black and white t.v. sitting on the floor
hgtv did a wonderful job i love retro and vintage mid century stuff HGTV DID SOMETHING RIGHT HERE FOR A ONCE
Very well preserved original Brady Bunch furniture and sets. I sure miss the vintage clean kitchen look. Awesome Brady Bunch home tour 👍🏻
Well preserved? This isn't the original Brady Bunch furniture or sets. HGTV bought the house used for exterior shots on the Brady Bunch and gutted the interior. They then put on an addition and renovated the existing house. The finished product was a recreation of the Brady Bunch sets in the form of a functional house. Most of the furnishings were donated by fans.
It's always "a sunshine day" when we revisit the unforgettable and full family housing Brady home. Stay safe everyone!
Too cool grew up watching the brady's always said if i win the Lottery i will build a house like the Brady's Hope they will turn it into a museum for the public
Excellent walk-through tour. Would love to see the patio and back yard tour like that too.
OMG I Love It !!!
Hoping it will eventually be open to the public as a museum or tourist attraction id be willing to pay $25 -$45 to be able to enter and have photos of myself inside The Brady Bunch House for sure.Ill be turning 54 y/o this month i guess you could say i grew up watching the Brady's always wanted to meet at least one of the cast members but just being in the house would be awesome!
BTW Great video thanks for capturing the completed remodel
Same and I'm in my 30's! Grew up with them as well!!
I was lucky enough to meet Ann B. Davis at a meet and greet with fans. I got her autograph!
It’s about to be your birthday next month, happy early birthday!
The house just went up for sale $5.5 million listed
It's surreal, it's almost as if stepping back in time into the actual television series, The Brady Bunch. The only thing that is missing is the Brady family.
They did an amazing job recreating the inside of the house. Yes, the house was always there and they used it in the TV series but the OUTSIDE ONLY. The inside never looked like that and they used a set for TV (for those who actually think it always did and filmed on the inside.
This is wonderful!! I was just watching a clip from the show recently and got to wondering if they were going to do Greg's attic room during the whole HGTV series! Unusual but very clever how they handled both that and the parent's room!!
They need to do this for a few other shows
Far out! Groovy tour!!
That was amazing and I got tears in my eyes!! My fave part was view from the top of the stairs. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for posting this. I loved watching the renovation. This is on my bucket list. I wish I could take a tour of this house.
Thank You so much for sharing this footage! The house looks amazing and I’m jealous that you got to go inside!
Thank you for posting. I keep looking through HGTV to see this exact tour but can never find it. They have lots of old clips from the show, but no full tour like this. Thank you again.
Thank you! This quick tour is "off the record" so to speak and definitely unofficial. It was posted after the HGTV series had aired. As I mentioned in the written intro, my colleague and I were allowed inside for business purposes other than to make a video, yet we were given permission to take pictures. I don't want to reveal my identity nor the reason for being there, but it was all legitimate. We quickly seized the opportunity to record a short silent walk thru starting in the foyer and to capture as much as possible without imposition. The phone screen would not lock onto wide view mode, as they often won't when there is no time to tinker. We then left the property through the front door whence we first entered, business completed and pictures obtained.
I love The Brady Bunch I watched it every day and so did my siblings. I'm so glad that they brought the house and they did this, I live in New Jersey, I really wish that I could see this in California,
The only thing that was disappointing I wish that the parents bedroom was upstairs and not downstairs on the side and I didn't see a toilet in the parents bathroom you. But I thought it was pretty cool how they did Greg's bedroom the Attic. I would have liked to have seen the backyard and tigers dog house LOL but of course awesome above and beyond!! I grew up in a small town called Matawan, here in New Jersey, it's where the shark attack of 1916 happened that inspired the movie Jaws.
The parents bedroom is upstairs. It's shown at 1:48
The master bedroom IS technically upstairs, just not on the second floor that HGTV built onto the rear of the house. The real master bedroom is in the upper level of the front A frame section of the house, and this section was never built into the set. There was simply not enough space to build on a much larger second story complete with three bedrooms along both sides of a central hallway as depicted on the soundstage set. Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Brady's bedroom was duplicated where the master bedroom was located all along, which was the most logical place for it especially since the master bedroom of the house had a similar layout to the one on the set. It was originally reached via two flights of steps off the front foyer, but since no stairs existed on the studio foyer set, the steps were relocated to the other side of the wall, accessible through a nonchalant doorway (which was also not on the studio set) further down the same wall, away from the foyer in the dining room.
Barry, Chris, Bob, Maureen, Eve, and Susan are so lucky - they were given the opportunity to go as close as you can to going back in time. I can go to the house I grew up in, but it's changed, I can go to the town I grew up in, but it's changed. They walked into this house and got to see it the same as it was in the 1970's (even though it was a different location). I would love to be able to do that.
This is awesome 🙌
Faithfully recreated. It brings back memories of the show. I'm an Australian and grew up watching The Brady Bunch and if I ever were to be in the neighbourhood, I'd certainly visit the house. Cheers and thanks for the tour.
Best tour I've seen yet
I love this idea of re-creating the set of Brady Bunch’s into a real thing inside the house. Pretty similar to the Star Trek Original Set which is built in Ticonderoga NY. All those heart and soul put to recreate the set as it was back in the 60’s. And what really interesting IS, both Brady set and Star Trek’s happened to be in The Paramount Studio lot.
Thank you for this video!! So nice to have a look around without it just being clips and commentary and all the fluff they throw at you when you just want to see the full tour. This was perfect!! Thank you!!
This is great (just discovered it)! I enjoyed the HGTV Brady Reno shows so much, we kept them on our DVR. I watch them periodically. Love your work!
Beautiful 😍
Make me feel sadness and amazing people sigh and wow
Excellent video
Extreme awesomeness!
What an amazing, emotional step back into time 🥹💕 Great job🙏 Wow!
Awesome video and awesome job by HGTV. Thanks so much for the tour 😊
Amazing !
I think it's very cool.
This is so cool. Its rooms youve seen but never seen anythin more of them. Just the front of them or when they are in bed.
That was absolutely amazing. Wow!
From that iconic exterior shot of the Brady Bunch Home you would never guess that the inside had that much space.
Great! They really nailed it!!
Fantastic
Cool tour
Fantastic journey! Ever since I was a kid I wanted to see the inside of the Brady house. Still my dream someday to build a replica house somewhere in the Eastern US to make another house just like this one... I just have to hit the lottery first!
Such a great job . Love it . I remember Barry saying in an interview that he got invited to the actual house once but didn’t know it till the hosts told him and said he had no idea where the house was ! Sweetie I live in australia and knew which st in north Hollywood this house was in . I know , some say studio city .. but greggie … puh-lease!
I KNOW! I heard Mr. Williams tell that story! I thought how could he not know he was in his own "childhood home??!!" Well, probably because he had never set foot on that property in his life since The Brady Bunch never actually filmed an episode there aside from the exterior establishing shots! LOL! Well, when the realty company revealed the true interior of the Brady house, it all made perfect sense since the real house floorplan bore no resemblance to Paramount's interior set version of it. Then he went on to explain that he arrived at the house after dark and still had no clue he was about to enter the iconic Brady house. He didn't mention if this further concealed the identity of the house or not, but if the brick and wrought iron fence were in place by the time he arrived there, and he entered the walkway through a gate, all of which were not there in 1969 when the establishing shots were made, I could totally understand why he had no clue as to where he was!
Thank you so much that was amazing!!!
I always wanted to make like a little secret hiding space underneath that a staircase . But now it looks like there's a secret passageway that takes you straight upstairs or to another part of the house if I do not when I was a kid I'd have been super happy
Great tour
I highkey want to live there
Looks like it would be a very nice place to live.
Thanks for the full tour. You showed a lot of what was missing from other tours like the master bedroom is separate from the kid's rooms and Greg's attic isn't an attic after all. They did get some other things wrong in the house. Alice's headboard, lamp bases, bedside tables, and artwork are all different.
Oh Alice!
Just drove pass the house last week. Let me try n post it *winks* thanx for a look inside again. Surprised to see the master bedroom was entered from the back staircase
Really a major accomplishment to do this. Amazing. It's so very close. Maybe the dressing area between the master bed and bath that there was no space for but that's really nitpicking something very special.
Looks great. Girls room is a little different but everything is is pretty spot on
I find the girls' bedroom remarkably the same as it was shown in 1969. What do you find a little different?
You Tube removed the cool music I had included. Sorry!
I loved the Brady bunch as a kid and now watching the tour of the real deal made me extremely homesick and longing for my childhood days and I have never been there. Weird huh?
Gosh what big house . cool
Greg's attic trippy
I love it... Although I wish the recording was wider.. but this is what I was looking for a complete tour with no comments. thank you. Wait wasn't gregs room up in the attic. I always thought Mike & Carol's bedroom was next to this kids rooms.
Greg's room was supposed to be in an attic, but this house has no such attic and they couldn't build an attic without drastically changing the street view of the house. On the set, the parents' bedroom was supposed to be on the second story across the hallway from the kids' rooms, but there simply wasn't enough space to build a full scale upper floor onto this house. Besides that, the A frame section on the front of the house was never included as part of the set. That's where the master bedroom was located all along, with a very similar layout to Mike and Carol's room, so it just made common sense to utilize this space as the master bedroom regardless of where it was located in the house. Remember as Mike Lookinland said, the main set never had a true upper floor on it. All the bedroom sets were located on the soundstage floor adjacent to the living room set, on the other side of the double front doors!
I don’t know why her, but It felt like Alice would be coming into the living room any minute t greet you when you walked into the house. It’s so amazing yet something so creepy about the house as well. I always felt like the Brady’s were related to me. Like they’re my cousins or something. I bet I’m not the only one who feels that way.
As someone who watched the show growing up, I agree. It’s amazing yet spooky.
Greg’s attic room is the best. He used to smoke pot up there and entertain the cheerleaders
used to smoke pot with Marcia up there Lol
Now that it's on the bottom level it will be easier to have late night visitors hehehe
There were a few things that HGTV did not replicate in the Brady house, most likely due to space constraints, or possibly going over budget, or maybe just couldn't find. The most obvious was the "service porch" off the kitchen, which was deemed low priority early on because there simply wasn't room to build it. So sorry, no avocado washer and dryer. The "mud sink" that you commonly saw outside of Alice's bedroom door, was put in place just for the visual as it is in a different location from where it was on the set.
A folding step stool with black vinyl seat was completely omitted from where it was normally seen in the corner of the kitchen near the door to the service porch.
The built in storage cabinets of the plaid daybeds in the family room. The long tubular bolsters sat in front of them and hid them. They just made the bolsters to set up against the wall. Having the daybeds sit out an extra foot or so from the wall probably through off the scale of what could be built, and they were very meticulous about getting everything to scale.
The writing desk and chair in the master bedroom was completely omitted. It sat in front of the bed close to the cameras, again most likely left out due to space limitations.
The dressing area behind the rice paper panels (with maple leaves) which on set was a long space between the bed and the master bathroom couldn't be added due to the studio set being much larger than the master bedroom of the house. It was pretty much left to its original dimensions but completely gutted and heavily remodeled. Behind the dressing area was the master bedroom. What they did instead was, instead of making the louvered door the actual door the bathroom, was actually the door that went into a small enclosed room where they did install an actual toilet. All just a clever optical illusion.
A tall narrow window that you always saw on the side shot of the house was left in place. It was in the dressing room of the original house, now it is inside the closet of the master bedroom. That's right, the Bradys now have a closet with a view of the Dittmeyer's place next door.
Outside in the back yard, the built in brick BBQ grill wasn't added.
The carport wasn't added since there was an existing detached garage where it would sit. It is now hidden from the view we saw on the set. The arbor was relocated to sit right against its side to hide it.
Did you notice that the family room was not angled the way it was on the sets? Also, the girls room is shortened to make it fit. In the Den there is now a raised area at the back that was not in the set, along with an added window and closet.
@@Christopher-ye6cv Yes, the architect's den was built out from what was the ground level existing kitchen, and the rest of the house was sunken down. The real house had a raised kitchen, dining area, and foyer across the front elevation, then the rest of the house was sunken down from them. This raised area in the real house helped make the renovation possible, as the Brady set had a raised foyer, so there were similarites between the two. Did you notice there is no window behind the plaid curtains next to Mike's architect desk and the curtains stay closed? That would have been a great place to add a fake lighted window with background scene like in Greg's attic room.
I would be happy too move in too too this home perfect I love what they did
Me “too too” 😉
This is fascinating. Who are you? I mean, how were you granted this access? Were you involved with the renovation? Great job recording. I especially liked how you showed the view of the whole downstairs while standing on the second floor. I saw what the original layout of the home was and I'm still baffled how they did it. They must be geniuses.
Opening the closet door at 3:12 reveals a full length window-inside the closet! This window over looks the driveway of the house below and the neighbor's house next door. The window, on the side of the house, has always been there and can be seen clearly on the side angle view establishing shots of the Brady House filmed in 1969. Prior to the renovation, this window was at the end of the hallway in the dressing/closet area of the old bathroom. It had a full length louvered shutter on the inside of it. The window was understandably left in place to keep from changing the outside appearance of the house. You would think they would have reinstalled the shutter rather than have an uncovered window inside a closet.
Is it just me or did I not see a toilet in Mike and Carol's bathroom?
@@joshuadavis6675 The toilet is behind the louvred door in the bathroom, hence hiding it somewhat.
The shutter would reveal the reality that your not in the same wing as the kids or as shown on television, it looks cheap but makes sense
I always wanted the whole tour and it was haw dropping its one of the most incredible things I've seen in historical renovation a tour de force a nice large house in its time but omg the formica and bathrooms and day bed I always hated
I’d live there
That would make ALOT of people so happy to actually go into the Brady house ..it was the viewers house for 30mins of my life anyways always wanted to be the 7th one ..please consider opening it up for us fans and I'm sure there's plenty it would be a hit make ALOT of money I definitely would pay to bring the inner child in me even if it was 10mins to pretend I was there would be so special to ALOT of the fans OPEN OPEN OPEN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!
It's in the middle of a quiet neighborhood
Wow
Waaaaaait a minute, what's a toilet doing in that house??
Alice was the only person allowed to have a toilet.
Yeah, there was a review video that was giving misinformation of there being no toilets on the set. They were just tucked away from filming.
And all skid marks left in the bowl from when Sam visited .
So, that’s where that door goes to at the top of the stairs. Mike Brady sure designs weird closets
What was that room “behind” the kitchen with the shelves? If Greg’s attic room is in the lower level, then that room behind the kitchen would be the cellar where the storm windows are kept or where Myron the mouse went to hide from the exterminator??
Nice tour, I knew one could circle around the stairs to get back to the kitchen. Want to see a tour where ALL the doors and hatches are opened.
Who else took notice of all the little attention to detail? For instance, Mike's golf clubs, the vase that Peter broke, Cindy's Kitty Carry All, Alice's secret family recipe on the black board, the horse statue, etc.
That vase looked like somethin you could git at the Dollar Store. Mama Brady got all triggered like it been dug up with King Tut.
@@MeanMrTibbs LOL! Being in California, I always thought the vase looked like something Carol might have picked up in Tijuana! The Bradys never visited Mexico that we the viewers were aware of, but we know nothing about each side before they got married. Maybe it was Mrs. Brady's favorite vase because her first husband Roy gave it to her????? LOL! In reality, "Mom's favorite vase", which was a rather unsightly thing at that, and was never seen before or after that particular episode, was pulled out of Paramount Pictures' massive prop warehouse for its (less than) fifteen minutes of glory, destined to be smashed only a short time later merely for a storyline purpose. It was probably the most action the ugly little thing had ever seen!
I don't want to be a negative Nancy, but the kids rooms are on the opposite side of the hall, and where's the attic door? The parents room was across from the boys room. The rest of the house was amazing.
I know that they only had so much room to work with, but it wasn't a 💯 percent accurate.
Actually, in a warped reality, the rooms are set up correctly. The kids rooms are on the right and the parents room is on the left. They should’ve built a glass hallway from one side of the house to the other just to make it super accurate and super weird.
Next time, hold the phone/camera landscape-wise! Remember, vertical video is evil!
I know! The phone had a fit and wouldn't film horizontally.
@@retrounderground1 No need to apologize to everyone who complains about the camera orientation. This video is awesome and we're grateful. What a mind fhuk to watch. I was practically screaming for you to sit on the couch when you walked into the living room. :)
A time capsule.
The detail of mike carols bedroom this house is a time capsule museum piece
It would've been neat to have in Mike & Carol's closet the high-heeled shoe which Carol kept moving to reserve more space for herself in "A Clubhouse Is Not a Home". (For years before I saw "The Honeymoon" I thought that was the premiere episode of the series because it had to do w/ the Bradys moving into the house & getting used to each other.) Later on it seemed that there were 2 closets there, on both sides of Carol's vanity, so there was no more argument over closet space.
An extra closet was added during the run of the first season.
You're right! "A Clubhouse Is Not a Home" was intended to be the first episode beyond the pilot and actually episode #2 overall. Whether it was the second episode ever filmed is still a mystery. Somehow it got counted as episode #6 of the series and has been aired in that order ever since.
@@retrounderground1 From what I read in THE BRADY BUNCH BOOK (1990), the first book about the show that listed the episodes in production order, "A Clubhouse..." was produced 3rd, after the pilot & "Dear Libby". I think though that the shows were formed piecemeal because Florence H. was in Norway finishing "Song of Norway", so the show had to work around her absences.
@@jehobden Thank you very much for the information. I read online (which was probably taken from The BB BOOK) that Florence's hair was cut very short for the Norway production, and therefore she wore a rather bouffant wig in the beginning as Mrs. Brady. Her hairstyle in the pilot (filmed in May? 1968) and the first several episodes (filmed at least a year later in 1969) appeared to be the same (A more befitting hairstyle of a late 1960's SoCal mother and housewife, I suppose) , but as the first season progresses, you will notice that the puffy wig disappears in favor of her own short blonde hair which was growing out that eventually evolved into the trademark Carol Brady "shag."
@@retrounderground1 As I've learned from both Barry Williams' and Sherwood & Lloyd Schwartz' books, the pilot was filmed in early Oct. 1968 (Barry wrote that he got the script on his 14th b-day (09/30/1968) and the other book shows call sheets for just days afterward.), and the show was in production by June 1969 (Barry mentioned incidents on the set and said they happened in June & July of that year.).
Did you plant a Plumb tree for Eve?! It's all about you now Jan!!
I thought that the two doors(behind the kitchen) was the security room with the TV monitors that's tied to the security cameras. Clever to have a hidden bathroom and storage panty. My next question is whatever became to the renovated Brady Bunch station wagon?
I will admit that having to put Greg's bedroom downstairs just made everything seem strange..
The parents bedroom too....that is really off
@@robinbrown7953 that's right I forgot about the parents room..
Well for what they had to work with I think it’s an acceptable compromise.
I'm just glad they had the space to recreate every room that we saw on TV, regardless of where they are located inside the house. The one room they did not have space to include was the service porch, just off the kitchen where Bobby overloaded the washing machine with soap.
Great experiential intimate tour of the house! It was spooky going back in time vicariously. I think the master bathroom would have been more elegant than how they envisioned it here, design and decor-wise...(No way on those peach-pink bath towels, and cluttered sink area.) I like the vertical orientation for viewing on my phone. This was posted just before the awful pandemic. Is the house just sitting there as a “museum” currently, or what’s the latest, anyone?
Well said 😂
As of January 2023, still no word on what the fate of the Brady house will be. The Covid 19 pandemic certainly put a stop to any future plans, and I think there would have been more to come with the Brady house to continue to make returns on HGTV's huge investment.
Awesome!! Thank you so much for posting this, but it really pisses me off that us the fans can't take tours of this house. I mean I would pay, and I guarantee us Brady fans would do absolutely nothing to hurt or mess this house up, and if I caught anyone trying to hurt or mess this house up I would politely take them outside and beat their ass!! Don't you dare mess with The Brady Bunch house when I'm around!!
Just a little bit but still they did an awesome job!
No toilet in the master bath?
Spend the night in this place and you'll wake up in 1969. Lots of Vietnam will on TV instead of virus stuff - might be worth it.
Alice's bedroom looks just like my grandma's house currently does. Lol
I’m surprised they didn’t bend the rules and leave the small bathroom in the attic room.
Where was the toilet in the master bedroom?
So does anyone actually live there now? Awesome tour!!
No one lives there, unless you count the 24 hour rent-a cops that are stationed outside. The house is currently on the market for $5.5 million. The world is eager to see what happens, but evidently not eager to buy it for that price tag as my sources tell me there is little interest in it, but all it takes is one buyer!
@@retrounderground1 If someone buys it what are they going to do with the food in the refrigerator and items from the show? Just interested. Is it just basically a museum now?
@@josephmackela8466 It is just basically a real life TV show set. The neighborhood is not zoned for a public museum which is a big obstacle. The only food in the refrigerator would be props or perhaps the security's lunch, if it even works. The real estate listing said that some of the appliances and fixtures were for "aesthetics only," so that leads me to believe that refrigerator especially is in non working order. If you watched the reno show, HGTV found the exact model avocado fridge sitting in a closet in Michigan and the mother/daughter hosts (whose names escape me) hauled it off laying on its side in the back of a pickup truck, then it had to be shipped cross country to LA somehow. Being familiar with refrigerators, they should never be laid flat due to the possibility of freon leaking out of the system, so I doubt if it works. I guess the new owner can repair it or replace it with something else if they actually intend to use it.
