The Brady Bunch
Classic blended family
The Brady Bunch is an American television sitcom that aired from 1969 to 1974, following a blended family of six children, their parents, and a housekeeper.
The show became a cultural touchstone for wholesome family entertainment.
By extension, any large, cheerful family—especially a blended one—might be called a Brady Bunch: With eight kids between them, they're a real Brady Bunch.
