The sitcom story of one of TV’s first blended families premiered Sept. 26, 1969, with the symmetrically perfect union of Mike and Carol Brady. He had three boys, she had three girls and the show had a syrupy, explanatory theme song that is permanently etched into our memory banks. Admit it, "Here's the story ..." is playing in your head right now.

In the series premiere, the boys’ dog, Tiger, chased the girls’ cat, Fluffy, at their parents' wedding, leaving Mike (Robert Reed) covered in wedding cake.
