Review:

Kirkus Reviews, July 2010
Here’s the story...of a unique father-and-son creative team who masterminded the conception, construction and casting of everything Brady.



Diehard fans and classic-TV buffs will rally around this collaborative, pleasingly retro tell-all. BradyWorld.com, August 2010“The average reader will enjoy Brady, Brady, Brady for the tabloid-like stories regarding off-screen romances, drug problems among the cast, on-set fighting, and other scandals that have taken place over the last 40+ years. The loyal, dedicated Brady Bunch fan will enjoy the book for all that as well as getting answers to some of those long-time unanswered questions—such as in what city did the Bradys reside? Overall, Sherwood and Lloyd Schwartz provide their readers with a very good summary of the highs and lows in the history of The Brady Bunch. New things are brought to light, and the book provides additional detail about many of the things fans already know.” Gael Fashingbauer Cooper,  TODAYshow.com, 8/29/10
