"My own family was completely dysfunctional, so I know what the appeal
of
The Brady Bunch (1969) was. And when kids get older, in college, for example, and
they realize that all their friends watched it, and you all have
something in common. You can make fun of it, or say 'God that was
great!' because it was so stupid and silly. Like the
Batman (1966) series.
But it's a known quantity, and you can gather around it. It becomes
flypaper".
