    These 2 have known each other since they were 8, or 9! 50 years later Mike and Susan seem like they really are "brother and sister".

      They most likely hooked up in real life though, so I wouldn't say that

    I still listen to their songs..Sunshine Day,Time to Change, Keep on Moving..I used to dream I was a Brady kid and the dream was very deep rich colors..they represent caring,happy,fun to be with siblings. Who can forget Cindy freezing on TV..she acted so great in that! Bobby worked hard too and had great scenes. I wander what it would feel like to be loved by millions in the 1970s ,but rejected for parts that weren't even as good as Brady. Barry has really ran with it, but I don't know if I could..it is work!

  • @judyholiday1794
    @judyholiday1794 5 лет назад +13

    I really have enjoyed listening to just Mike and Susan's thoughts about the show and life in general.. Because it seems like they always get talked over when it is the entire cast..

    When Mike talks of turning down Swiss Family Robinson, he was turning down Irwin Allen, who was the producer of Towering Inferno.

    Great interview. I think that we can all relate to having something in your life that at some points you need to distance yourself from, but at other points you can really embrace. Things can be 'cool' or 'uncool', it doesn't mean anything. I'm glad that the 'kids' all seem to feel fondly about, and appreciate 'being a Brady'... all things considered. Especially the end -- I've not heard Mike Lookinland speak to the Brady experience before.

    They Brady's were a big part of my life when I was a kid. Back then,I wished I was a Brady. I was a lonely kid who was picked on everyday in school. In a small way it felt like the Brady kids were my friends. That show did a lot for me. It was good to have the Brady Bunch show a part of My life. I am now 63 years old and still watch the reruns all the time. I even know each episode by heart.

      I am now 64 and I loved watching The Brady Bunch on Friday nights. I didn’t have close siblings & The BB was a major comfort to me. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been on a Brady nostalgia kick. It’s comforting me all over again / getting my mind off things.

    As much as I loved the show, I feel badly for these people. They are trapped as these characters. Can't be anything else. Everywhere they go, people ask them about events that took place between '69 and '74. Sherwood Schwartz made a fortune off of the syndication. The Brady kids haven't made money off the reruns since the late 70's.

    Amazing how Mike Lookinland made the conscious decision as a 13 year old to essentially drop out of acting after (I would say sabotaging) his screen test for Swiss Family Robinson. He obviously did not want the part, preferring the life of a typical eighth grader.

    I don't know exactly when this interview was conducted, but Susan Olsen comes across as pretty impressive.
    So...yeah, I watched the show as a kid, even the syndicated re-runs, but I have to admit as an adult that I cringe when it comes on. I guess you can say I have mixed feelings about the show.

  • @magiccheeseball

    Sad they thought people didn't think it was cool back then, it was one of only shows that had cool kids on it besides the show the partridge family but seems like people would think it's cool you were on any show and got paid, better that mowing yards for 3 bucks like I had to do for money when I was a kid not old enough to work yet

Just remember there are some of us out here who have not experienced what you have and not have ventured into the. Hollywood life. we lived what was "normal "for us at the time. We were just a family of six where both parents worked to make sure we had what we needed.

    Susan and Mike, I watched “The Brady Bunch” as a little kid during the 1970s. I explained to my now deceased foster brother, who had Down’s Syndrome, that all nine of you had real names and got paid to play pretend. He was unable to read because his school didn’t teach him.
