Here's a story, of a family named Brady:
Six cast members of "The Brady Bunch" gathered Thursday in Los Angeles at the home featured in the opening and closing of the sitcom. HGTV purchased the home in the Studio City neighborhood for its new series, "A Very Brady Renovation."
Maureen McCormick, Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, Eve Plumb, Mike Lookinland and Susan Olsen walked through the two-bedroom dwelling. The interior layout does not resemble what was featured on the show, which ran from 1969 to 1974. Interior scenes then were shot in a studio.
HGTV plans to expand the home without compromising its street view and re-imagine the show's interior design. The network revealed in August that it had placed the winning bid and would restore the home "to its 1970s glory" as part of a new show set to premiere in September 2019.
Florence Henderson, who played mom Carol Brady, died in November 2016; Robert Reed, who played dad Mike Brady, died in May 1992, and Ann B. Davis, who played Alice, died in June 2014.
Baldwin is charged with assault
Alec Baldwin was charged with assault and harassment on Friday after allegedly striking a man in the face during a dispute over a parking spot outside his New York City home. Police said the actor claimed he had a family member holding the spot as he attempted to park his Cadillac Escalade when a man driving a Saab station wagon pulled up and took it. Police said the men argued and pushed each other before Baldwin got more aggressive. The other driver told police that Baldwin hit him with his hand, but wasn't sure if it was a punch or a slap. He was taken to a hospital with jaw pain and redness in the neck area, police said. Baldwin was released from a nearby precinct in Manhattan's Greenwich Village about two hours later and was ordered to appear in court Nov. 26.
