Knight says he was completely aware of the romances at the time: “I guess they were playing house. Now it’s been built large enough for the two grown-up Brady kids to still fit inside. On A Very Brady Renovation, a major adjustment was made was to Tiger’s doghouse to honor an off-camera memory: Olsen and Lookinland used to sneak inside and kiss. So I wasn't aware that was my last day of freedom of being somebody else.” Within six months or so, I had to deal with the recognition thing, which only has grown in 50 years. “No longer was I just going to be able to walk down the street and expect it to be the same. “Little did I anticipate the effect that the premiere would have immediately on the world around me,” Knight says. “So now, all of a sudden, we're having to buy a big television just because I get this series.” “My dad was anti-television because he liked his work in theater,” Knight says. After all, his dad had been a Broadway actor (and his paternal grandfather was a cobbler who made shoes for the Zeigfeld Follies), who had his doubts about the new medium.

In fact, his family got a new TV for the occasion since all they had was an old Admiral black-and-white set. Watching his own television debut was especially thrilling for Knight since he hadn’t even previewed the episode before that day. Knight, who is now 61 and runs a furniture business, also chats about where he was half a century ago, on-set romances, the late cast members, the famous theme song’s blue squares, and, of course, pork chops and apple sauce. You can't expect this kind of longevity.” “I really had no expectations for the 50th year and it would have perhaps even taken me by surprise with just some gentle reflecting.

“It’s been a wonderful present, unexpected gift,” Knight said of the show bringing the cast together on the momentous occasion.

The success of the series has sparked an additional two-part behind-the-scenes series, A Very Brady Renovation: Behind the Build, with the final episode airing tonight at 9 p.m. All six original Brady kids - Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Eve Plumb (Jan), Susan Olsen (Cindy), Barry Williams (Greg), Christopher Knight (Peter) and Mike Lookinland (Bobby) - reunited and joined HGTV stars, including Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott, Restored by the Fords’ Leanne and Steve Ford and Flea Market Swap’s Lara Spencer, to transform the inside of the original house used for the exterior shots to match the one that appeared on television. Since the premiere of the four-part HGTV series on September 9, timed to The Brady Bunch’s 50th anniversary (which was officially marked on September 26), more than 23.7 million viewers have tuned in to watch the grooviest home renovation project in television history. And in the case of A Very Brady Renovation, they’ll watch every detail of you building it with nostalgic enthusiasm.
