Here’s the (real) story… Of that famous split level ranch. In 1969, producers of “The Brady Bunch” were looking for a home to use in exterior shots. Series creator Sherwood Schwartz, who passed away this week, told the Los Angeles Times, “We didn’t want it to be too affluent, we didn’t want it to be too blue-collar. We wanted it to look like it would fit a place an architect would live."They found a house in the San Fernando Valley that almost fit the bill. But, to help the exterior of the existing house coordinate with sets under construction on Paramount Studios’ Stage 5 in Hollywood, set designers attached a phony window atop the house to give the appearance of a full second floor.
