The Brady Bunch arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in The Brady Bunch land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. When widower Mike Brady marries a lovely lady widow Carol Ann, their two families become one. These are the misadventures of this new couple, their six children, a dog named Tiger, and quirky housekeeper Alice. The chemistry Robert Reed and Florence Henderson bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. 5 seasons (1969–1974) gave the story room most shows never get. The Brady Bunch earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, The Brady Bunch is a strong candidate. The tonal similarities to Mama's Family are real, though The Brady Bunch carves out its own identity quickly. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Robert Reed anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

The Brady Bunch wrapped up in 1974, created by Sherwood Schwartz — and 5 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
