That's the '69 Plymouth Satellite wagon, they got a '71 a little later. Once in a while Carol would leave the house in the new one, arrive at her destination in the old, then get back home in the new one!
Brady cat
Ralph mentioned a cat - they did have one in the first episode. It's name was Fluffy, and it attended the wedding, as did Tiger the dog. I don't think I have to tell you what happened when Tiger saw Fluffy! It resulted in the funniest episode of the whole series.

Yes, I saw that.
Usually, the high offer is accepted, and wins the property. Bass says a studio won it though. Maybe even a little padding on the sideline to the seller. Who knows.
A German lady in our area took the first offer, telling me they were the type of people she felt should be moving into the neighborhood. A young doctor couple.
Not really a doctor's prefered area, so we'll see how long they stay, and who the next residents are.

It would be nice to see it saved. I'm not sure Bass's project to remodel the interior into the set was a practical one but it would have been interesting to see it attempted.
One analysis of the show described it as being almost a "real-live cartoon" with its one-dimensional characters and simple scripts. That is sort of true I think, but that make-believe world of kind people and sunny California technicolor was pure after-school escape for us Midwestern blue-collar kids.
It has actually been decades since I've watched any of the shows in whole. Something to do one day when I find the DVD set at a yard sale.

The show took a turn for the worse
When, in the fifth season, they starting using GM cars instead of Mopar.
And it made NO sense whatsoever for MIke to be driving a 2 door convertible Cuda with 9 people to haul around!
Heck in the last season, they showed a 2 door Caprice convertible also!

The house won't be raised.
Mike deserved a convertible He earned it. The wagon was large enough for the family.
My aunt and uncle had 7 kids, and my aunt drove a Colony Park, and my uncle had both a '69, and a '71 Cougar XR7. Then he had Lincoln town cars after.
Mike drove three Caprice Classics. A '73, '74, and a '75.
I had one. Loved it!

HGTV is the Buyer
“I am excited to share that HGTV is the winning bidder and will restore the Brady Bunch home to its 1970s glory as only HGTV can,” said Zaslav. “More details to come over the next few months, but we will bring all the resources to bear to tell safe, fun stories with this beloved piece of American TV history.”
Probably as good as outcome as any.

MeTV and other cable channels play episodes of the Brady Bunch.
Unfortunately, the endless commercials for "final expense" insurance, animal cruelty, kids with cancer, adult diapers, catheters, etc, etc, totally ruin what would be an otherwise enjoyable show.
As they say; You can't go home again.

I wonder which HGTV show will be the winner to redo the house back to what it was on tv and recreate the original inside.
Amen to the good shepherd!
I suppose HGTV will bring the Brady home into the 21st century, but I doubt the finished product will show any trace of the home's original interior design . Perhaps they'll work in a nod to the stage sets from the show, though. If they put a real window where Hollywood placed a fake one, I wouldn't blame them.
I'll take a wild guess and say the highly promoted Property Brothers may be involved.

Have learned to avoid or at least ignore
Much of the MeTv commercials. The ones for My Pillow get up my nose!
However what really bothers one about MeTv is their editing of vintage programs for commercial breaks.
All of these television shows originally aired on network television and thus have cuts for "station announcements" or whatever already. MeTv takes things further by adding additional breaks and the resulting editing ruins programs.
Love Designing Women, but cannot stand the show as MeTV does episodes. They cut out so much and or stop for commercials right during key sequences.
What kills me is when watching Mannix or Cannon, there are only four or less minutes in the program, and MeTV *still* cuts to another commercial before broadcasting the final minute or so; much of which are the ending credits.

Okay, so I was wrong, the window (fake) was added--don't know why it had to be put on, as it does' make much aesthetic difference to me, with, or without...
Let's just see how much & how well, then future generations really will know the history of & behind this property; the show was the last escape from reality of how the American family would be rapidly changing, and trying to cling on the brief, half-hour fantasy of a "what was", available on just about every TV screen...

Oh, I forgot to mention how cable channels speed up episodes around 10% to squeeze in more commercial time.
Ever notice how things don't sound quite right with familiar theme songs and the dialogue.
Add in the depressing commercials, station promos and they become borderline unwatchable.

Adverts are down right depressing

I guess I don't quite understand this comment. What was shown on tv of the inside was not of the actual house. They only used shots of the exterior for the show. All inside shots were on a sound stage. The layout of the house would never fit inside the actual house

While MeTV is bad for that, its nowhere near as bad as TV Land. They will turn a 30 minute time slot into a 45 minute time slot to run more commercials on top of cutting the episode. About the only TV I watch on network TV is the Buzzr channel and Cozi TV. I like Buzzr because they play a lot of the older game shows. Kind of like the Game Show Network used to do.
There is at least one website out there
By an architect showing floor plans of famous sitcom homes as they appear on the set; then again as they would have to look in order to accommodate what we are told are the living quarters.
Most famous and frequently visited is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Darrin Stephens (Bewitched), but there are others.
Quite honestly no television sitcom home can think of has ever had a set that matched what layout is supposed to be. How could it?
