That is the title. I think of all the shows, the children on the Brady Bunch looked liked their parent. Especially the boys, and especially Greg and Bobby (See above, especially Mike Lookiland and Robert Reed) The daughters looked a lot like the mother also.

They did cast the children before the parents. They had two sets of boys and two sets of girls, one each with light and dark hair. When they cast the parents, the kids with the wrong colored hair were not hired. I don't know if any of the child actors who were not hired because of this ever became famous.

Eve Plumb was picked because she looked like the actress set to play Carol before they decided on Florence Henderson. Mike Lookinland's hair was dyed black. They should have just dyed it brown and not so dark.

I believe it was Joyce Bulifant who was set to play Carol... Florence Henderson had some kind of commitment to a stage production but I guess she was able to get out of it
