Los Angeles, CA
My inner stalker couldn't wait to find this destination during my last visit to Los Angeles. I'll refrain from listing the actual address here so the owner(s) can't blame me when you linger too long with your telephoto lens.
The Brady Bunch was the rerun show to watch if (1) you were stuck indoors during summers in the 1980s and (2) your grandfather/babysitter had cable television. At precisely 1:35pm each weekday, I'd be parked in front of a 50-pound cube-shaped television tuned to TBS, and my world would stop. My attention hung on every word spoken by six kids who shared a bathroom with no visible toilet.
Fast forward two decades and change, and I found myself parked in front of the very home used in the sitcom's exterior shots. No, the show was not filmed inside this one-story abode. First of all, how many shows are actually filmed inside real homes? Second of all, the show clearly featured a two-story home with an attic! Third, I'm going to assume this backyard isn't lined with astroturf.
I parked around the corner and waited for the homeowner to finish watering her front lawn before snapping a few shots. This may not have been on my bucket list, but it brought back a flood of childhood memories and provided an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. Groovy.
