10 Things That Never Made Sense About The Brady Bunch

#10: Family Past

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.

#9: Happy-go-lucky Kids

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.

#8: Always Alice

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.

“Carol got divorced or lost her husband.”

Her husband was presumed lost at sea, his name was Jonas Grumby.

Didn't Carol ever wonder why Mr. Brady always wanted to go camping with the boys and not the girls? Did Sam the butcher ever deliver the meat to Alice? If Carol was such a wonderful wife and mudder, why did she get divoced?

Two parents, three kids each, but add them up and there are only seven Bradys! That never made sense.

The two movies asked other questions and made fun of the Bradys so well.
