We met the Brady Family in 1969. They became a television staple for decades. Whether you watched for the house, the kids, the kooky housekeeper, or the silly storylines, the Bradys touched millions of lives. The show depicted a blended family, one of the first on television, and showed us that all you need is love. The Brady Bunch was wholesome, but some thought it was too squeaky clean, including one of the stars’ moms. Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady, shared his mother’s disdain for the show during an episode of The Real Brady Bros. podcast. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Brady Bunch (@bradybunch) His Mom Hated “The Brady Bunch” Even Though It Made Her Son a Star Christopher Knight, now 68, claimed his mom felt the show was way too unrealistic for the times. “My mom thought it didn’t depict real life,” Christopher said. “My mom got mad at me for watching The Flintstones … She just didn’t like anything that played to kids. If it wasn’t thought-provoking or depth-y or gritty, you know, she liked to think of herself as an ‘artiste’ and as a result had that kind of attitude.” Christopher Knight added that his mother’s disdain likely stemmed from their home life, which was much different than the character he played on The Brady Bunch. His mother tried to make him hate the Bradys, too, but it didn’t work. “It’s just aspirational. Even if it isn’t real, if you want to take that as a premise, then this is really, you know, too good to be true. What’s wrong with too good to be true? I mean, it’s what we all react to in our programming around Christmas time…and all the programs are uplifting and aspirational, and there is a place for that,” he explained. “There just wasn’t in her world.” If you need a little bit of wholesome in your life, you can stream The Brady Bunch on Paramount+ This story’s featured image is by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM.

Billions of people around the world rang in 2026 with the ones they love most. Many started the year with a kiss from their significant other. This small token of affection is a tradition for lots of couples renewing their commitment to each other. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton started their new year with a kiss and a smile. The pair met more than a decade ago and, despite their efforts to deny the chemistry between them, fell madly in love. They married in July 2021 and will celebrate their fifth anniversary later this year. Even though they seem very different on the surface, their relationship tells a very different story. Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Are “Solid” In late 2025, rumors began circulating that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani might be headed for divorce. But an insider close to the couple told People that’s not the case. “There is no truth to the split rumors. They’ve just been juggling demanding schedules,” the source said. “When they are together, it’s just so obvious how solid they are.” The two have definitely had some significant career shifts in the last couple of years. Gwen released her country album Bouquet at the end of 2024, and Blake began working on his new show, The Road. Like many celebrity power couples, they do their best to balance it all. “Sometimes they spend a lot of family time together and really treasure that, and then there are periods when the focus is more on work,” the source explained. “They’re both at a place in their careers where they still genuinely enjoy what they do, and they don’t want to give that up. Is it easy all the time? Of course not. They have a lot on their plates and a lot to balance, but that’s just how it is when you’re a family, and both parents have careers.“ Clearly, the big moments mean a lot to Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, and ringing in the new year together was a can’t-miss. We love that for them. This story’s featured image is by Jason Kempin/Getty Images.

Sometimes life gets busy, and instead of cooking, we like to grab a bite to eat while we’re out. Of course, that can present its own challenges, not the least of which is finding a delicious, healthy meal.
