Double The Fun
Wrap your head around this tidbit, Florence Henderson was not the only actress to have played the part of Mrs. Brady. Originally, the comedic actress Joyce Bulifant was brought on for the part. During screen tests, Bulifant was extensively used and also during casting. However the producers changed their minds and chose to cast a more subdued Mrs. Brady, therefore Florence Henderson got the part.

Serious Tension
If there’s one line that Brady fans remember best, its gotta be ‘Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.’ Now the reason for these words was actually inspired by the real life feud between Eve Plumb (Jan) and Maureen McCormick (Marcia). Yup, the two Brady sisters didn’t get along whatsoever. Apparently it has to do with some romantic subplot with Desi Arnaz Jr.
