HGTV spreads the Brady love

In a case of network sibling synergy, Discovery Channel and Food Network are getting in on the action for HGTV’s upcoming A Very Brady Renovation. Episodes of Fast N’ Loud, Chopped, Worst Cooks in America, The Kitchen and Pioneer Woman will be inspired by the Brady Bunch’s iconic Studio City home. Cast members from the 1969-74 sitcom will appear in episodes to support the HGTV series, which Discovery and Food will start cross-promoting next month. “We imagined many ways to bring the Brady Bunch lifestyle to life under the Discovery umbrella – from replicating the television house and souping up the family station wagon to inviting cast members to serve as guest judges for ‘70s-themed food competitions or reminisce about their early years together as TV icons,” said Kathleen Finch, Chief Lifestyle Brand Officer, Discovery Inc. “We’ve been able to do all of that on HGTV, Food Network and Discovery Channel as only the Discovery family of networks can.”
