Raves and Reviews
“Was The Brady Bunch Variety Hour the worst TV show ever? A new book makes a convincing (and charming) case … Love to Love You Bradys is, undeniably, a head-scratchingly hilarious celebration.… It’s also a candid peek into the workings of a sinking, polyester ship, replete with closeted homosexuality (Robert Reed), drug abuse (Maureen McCormick), hissy fits (Florence Henderson) and some of the worst attempts at singing and dancing ever recorded in human history. Only by understanding those things that Ann B. Davis refers to as ‘unmitigated disaster’ can we hope to never repeat them. Love to Love You Bradys is the Wisconsin Death Trip of the disco era — strange, awful and utterly, guilt-inducingly fascinating.” — Salon.com
“This book chronicles how chronicles how so many good successful people could be associated with such a bad show … [Ted] Nichelson was relentless in tracking down people associated with the show and getting them to talk about what was more than likely the most embarrassing period in their career … If you like The Brady Bunch, if you are a pop culture freak, if you find orange jumpsuits intriguing, you will like this book.” — 410media.com
“With insights from Susan Olsen (AKA Cindy Brady), it pushes past the showbiz exterior to reveal a writing team who turned to drink and drugs in a bid to cope with production schedules, and the thinking behind cringe-worthy sets that made Liberace look dowdy.” — Bizarre Magazine
“Cindy [Brady], Susan Olsen — with Ted Nichelson and Lisa Sutton — documents the chapter of Brady history you didn’t want to know everything about, in Love to Love You Bradys: The Bizarre Story of the Brady Bunch Variety Hour. At least, you thought you didn’t want to know everything about it.… Full of photos, the book is a colorful document of a television show so bad, it’s legendary. Most good shows don’t get treatments this detailed.” — Bookgasm
“Olsen provides a personal account of her experiences on the show — and she proves to be a brutally frank and funny writer.… run, don’t walk, to pick up a copy of this amazing book.” — AfterElton.com
