Yahoo Lifestyle Barry Williams says the “Brady Bunch” kids 'all hooked up with each other'
Meanwhile, Williams took his TV mom Florence Henderson on a 'date.'
The Brady Bunch may have been the epitome of family-friendly fun in the ’70s, but behind the scenes, according to star Barry Williams, the Brady kids were hooking up left and right.
Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the show's 1969 premiere, Williams recalled how the bunch waded through the same dating pool.

'The Brady Bunch' kids: Barry Williams (back row), Susan Olsen, Eve Plumb, Maureen McCormick, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland"We all hooked up with each other at some point,” Williams told Us Weekly. “Not necessarily while we were filming.”
Though they may not have been kissing in between takes, Williams revealed that Mike's boys dated Carol's girls right along their corresponding rows and ages.
“I dated Maureen [McCormick], and Chris [Knight] dated Eve [Plum], and Michael [Lookinland] and Susan [Olsen] had a little mock wedding at one point. So, yes, we all hooked up,” Williams explained.
Being the oldest, however, Williams always had his sights on mom, Florence Henderson. Greg Brady's crush on Carol Brady has been well-documented by Williams — who wrote about a date he had with Henderson in his 1992 autobiography, Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg — and later by Henderson herself.
Noting that he talked to Henderson a lot about his love of music, Williams told Us about asking out his TV mom.

“I had found this singer coming into the Copacabana near Beverly Hills. I can’t think of exactly where it was, but I invited her to go together as a date, and she said, ‘OK,’ so I was thrilled. And now for me, it was a date," Williams said.

He continued, “We were recognized, and so people were whispering about us, which is strange, but we talked about the singer, his orchestrations, the band that he had, and what touring was like. And she gave me an idea what that life would look like now at the end of the date."
Life would apparently look as G-rated as an episode of The Brady Bunch.
“I did go in for a little kiss and she was nice enough to return it,” Williams said. “So it was a highlight. Nice little peck, yes.”
