The Ricardos<\/strong> (1951)<\/p>\n The Ricardos, of I Love Lucy fame, entertained families from 1951 to 1960. I Love Lucy was The Bradys (1969)<\/strong><\/p>\n The Brady Bunch aired from 1969 to 1974, permanently engraining their theme song in the
\ngroundbreaking in its time for a few reasons. First, the show was the first scripted show
\nto be filmed in 35 mm film. Second, and maybe more importantly, it was one of the first
\nsitcoms to feature a pregnancy. Lucille Ball became pregnant and made the radical decision
\nto write the pregnancy into her show. This was obviously deemed controversial at the time
\nas the network forbade the writers from using the word \u201cpregnancy,\u201d and they instead had
\nto use euphemisms for the term.<\/p>\n
\nminds of generations of TV viewers. As many people know, The Brady Bunch was unique for
\nhighlighting a blended family, which was especially important in the late \u201860s and early \u201870s
\nas divorce rates began to rise. Despite this, the network wouldn\u2019t allow the circumstances
\nof the demise of Carol Brady\u2019s first marriage to be mentioned on the show, even though
\ncreator\/producer Sherwood Schwartz wanted Carol to be a divorc\u00e9e. Despite this, The
\nBrady Bunch still helped open doors for blended families and single parents on network
\ntelevision.<\/p>\n
