RIP, Sherwood Schwartz

Would be remiss not to mention the passing of television legend Sherwood Schwartz, without whom my childhood would have been far less fun. I don't have any firsthand stories to share about him or deep thoughts about his legacy. But the fact that he knew about and even ended up attending "The Real Live Brady Bunch" theater production in Westwood (that was Jane Lynch as Carol Brady!) back in the early '90s and not only didn't shut it down (for obvious copyright violation), but embraced it, tells you everything you need to know about this man, who understood that he needed us as much as we needed him. TMZ got reactions from stars of some of his shows HERE. He will be missed, but he will live on in all of us forever.

Totally agree, the comfort when you watch the Brady's life and house really makes one so happy and as for the Professor OMG what a hottie

Now he can slap-fight with Robert Reed in Sitcom Heaven.
