But this popular TV family has a couple of untold truths that will shock even the most loyal viewers. Do you know why the Brady’s dog Tiger disappeared or which cast members secretly had crushes on their co-stars? Find out below!

Florence Henderson Wanted Carol to Work

Florence Henderson wanted Carol to have a job in the series. She asked producers if her character could do that. But the writers said no because they wanted Carol to be like the women of that era. But they compromised by having Carol doing volunteer work like fundraising for charity.

The Brady Kids’ Bathroom Had No Toilet

The show had a lot of scenes shot in the Brady kids’ bathroom. To the untrained eye, the bathroom looked normal. But it turns out that there was no toilet in the room and network censors were to blame.  At the time, they didn’t want toilets to appear onscreen.

The Disappearance of Tiger

During the show’s early beginnings, the Brady’s had a dog named Tiger. While filming an episode, it was hit by a car when the trainer took the dog for a walk. Then producers brought in a new dog to play Tiger, but the dog was scared of everything on set.

So, Tiger never appeared on the show again.

Christopher Knight Didn’t Sing

Most of the actors playing the Brady kids could sing, but Christopher Knight who played Peter Brady couldn’t sing to save his own life. Knight claimed that he was such a bad singer that the producers suggested that he try lip syncing.
