At the beginning of the series, she is Carol Martin (née Carol Ann Tyler). She has mentioned her full name as Carol Ann Tyler Martin Brady. She had three daughters from a previous marriage before marrying Mike. She gets three stepsons from Mike. The television show does not mention how Carol's previous marriage ended, though Sherwood Schwartz confirmed outside of the show that she was divorced.[citation needed] Carol enjoys singing in the church choir, and with her daughter Marcia in the high school Family Frolic Talent Show. Carol's look-alike grandmother is named Connie Hutchins, who is possibly her mother's mother. In one episode where Cindy is bullied due to her lisping problem, Carol confesses that she too overcame a lisp while growing up in Swampscott, Massachusetts.[1] During the original Brady Bunch series, Carol is a stay-at-home mother. In the sequels, she becomes a real estate agent, converting the boys' old room into her home office.
Michael Paul "Mike" Brady portrayed by Robert Reed is the head of the Brady household. He has three sons of his own. Mike, a widowed architect, became the stepfather of Carol Brady's three daughters when he married Carol Martin. Mike enjoyed fishing and camping. Mike was once approached by cosmetics maven Bebe Gallini (Abbe Lane) to design her new powder-puff shaped factory. Shortly after the fourth season began, Mike got a perm and had really curly hair instead of his prior short straight hair (although he begins to grow it out during the third season). He was named "Father of the Year" by a local newspaper after his daughter Marcia submitted an essay. Mike's look-alike Grandfather, Hank Brady, is a retired judge. His Parents have sometimes been mentioned, but never seen. Mike has a firm personal integrity (i.e. he refuses to participate in a commercial if it means saying a product is the best that he believes isn't.) coupled with a strong sense of ethics. It is implied that Mike is a very highly qualified and well-respected architect, although he has had his share of failures. For instance: In the episode "Mike's Horror-Scope," Gallini — who turns out to be a fussy client — fires him for his failure to design a cosmetics factory to her "powder-puff shaped" specifications, which from an engineering and safety standpoint were impossible to meet.
