Though the book Growing Up Brady is so much more about the behind the scenes and personal lives of the cast members, it has come to our attention that one chapter, the Episode Guide, had and continues to have some mistakes related to the descriptions of the shows. Many of the "errors" were really in line with the sense of humor with which the book was written. However for those of you who are sticklers for the facts just the facts we have printed this page to address the issue.
