Brady, Brady, Brady: The Complete Story of The… von Sherwood Schwartz
A benign little book, easy to read and full of sweet recollections by the Schwartzes. No real dirt is dished here, and some well known stories are even refuted as incorrect by the younger Schwartz. I'm not crazy about the Bradys, but I did grow up watching the show. Most interesting to me was the censorship of those days.
I liked this book because it told the story about the Brady Bunch from the inside by the creators. Any other book is shaded by time or second-hand knowledge.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Interesting view of behind the scenes, not only of Gilligan's Island, but of making TV shows in the 1960's. From the interfering executives that wanted to make Ginger a housewife and keep them all on the boat sailing around from episode to episode, to having to defend providing backstory in the themesong, to the eventual cancellation (it was very popular and getting great ratings, and they'd already been told they were obviously renewed when the decision was made to cancel it for an astoundingly stupid reason).
It's well-written and entertaining, even as he's describing his frustration with the various obstacles and critics.
Spurred enough interest for me to go out and buy the complete series on DVD -- my family is half-way through the second season now.… (mehr)

Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.This books offers Schwartz's personal recollections of his fight to get Gilligan's Island on the air as well as keeping it on the air. That, in of itself, is highly interesting but I would have liked to have read more recollections of behind-the-scenes stories regardings the cast and crew of the series. However with that being said, I recommend this book for fans of Gilligan's Island.
