The Brady parents each come from previous marriages, but no one ever talks about it. Mike is a widow, but no one explains whether Carol got divorced or lost her husband. The kids seem to adjust rather quickly to living with strangers, and they never mention their other parents.
After the first season, it feels like Mike and Carol have been together all along and actually had all those kids together.
The Brady kids are often made fun of for their optimism. The kids might not get along perfectly at all times, but they're generally perky and like to work together. The children all become upset at different points, but their happiness outshines any troubles. The extra cheer might be an escape for viewers, but it's not realistic.
Alice is the Brady family's faithful housekeeper, and Carol clearly can't manage without her. Alice is up for any challenge and does far more for this family than cook and clean the kitchen. She is sometimes underappreciated, but she rarely lets it get to her. Alice's ability to keep her cool with all those kids is unbelievable.

That’s because they weren’t good! I’ll let you in on a dirty secret :-) I have been battling a virus from hell for 5 days and for some reason I have been listening to I woke up in love this morning by The partridge family a million times :-)
I’m a hard rock fan but for some reason I was just in the mood for it. I get fixated on a song I have to listen to it thousands of times before I stop LOL
