'''''The Brady Bunch''''' was the last of the classic television family sitcoms. It ran on [[ABC]] from 1969 to 1974. The show was about a suburban Los Angeles blended family where a formerly-married housewife named Carol Martin (Florence Henderson) with three daughters married architect widower Mike Brady (Robert Reed) who had three sons and a live-in housekeeper Alice (Ann B. Davis).  The adults are all deceased now but most of the children reunite for television specials, including one for [[Christmas]] 2021 entitled "Blending Christmas."<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/brady-bunch-stars-will-reunite-for-christmas-movie/ar-AAKaPy8</ref>

The plots were [[conservative]] without the [[liberal]] propaganda that infested rival shows like the offensively stereotypical, media-promoted ''[[All in the Family]]''.  Nearly every episode of ''The Brady Bunch'' had a theme with a conservative lesson about growing up, and the cinematography fully used color along with a pleasant southern California suburban setting.  [[Liberal]]s apparently prevented the show from winning awards commonly given to less creative and influential shows.  Ann Davis was ranked 33rd on the list of conservative actresses and entertainers.<ref>https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002036/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm</ref>
