About Shawna
Expertise
I can answer about any questions regarding each of the main characters (including the pets!),the guests that have appeared on the series, the movies that came out in the 90`s, and even about the actors themselves (including their hit songs/CD). I remember all the episodes pretty much ver batum, and look forward to easing your mind with the answer to any trivia question you may have about the family that will always live in my home!

Experience
I am proud to say that I'm 31 and STILL watch as many reruns of the Brady Bunch as I can possibly catch! I love turning it on and knowing within the first 15 seconds which episode it is and even remember the particular lines of the characters. My love & obsession for the show has had me singing the theme song in karaoke on several occasions (in public places, no less), incorporating lines from the shows/movies into my everyday conversations, and has me staying up all hours of the night, just to catch another glimpse at the groovy family that warmed our hearts decades ago and will for many decades to come!

The Brady Bunch - Sam the Butcher


Expert: Shawna - 1/23/2006

Question
What can you tell me about Sam the Butcher. There's very little available about him. What's his last name? Does he own his own shop? Besides bowling, what are his interests? Does he ever "pop the question" to Alice?

Thanks!

Answer
Lyn,

Allan Melvin played Sam Franklin on the Brady Bunch and appeared in 8 episodes. By the time "The Brady Brides" aired in 1981, Sam and Alice were married. In "A Very Brady Christmas", Sam was played by Lewis Arquette. It was alluded to that he cheated on Alice, but nothing confirmed. Sam owned a butcher shop, but the name of it was never mentioned. Bowling was really the only thing ever mentioned as far as his interests.

Hope this helps. Thanks for asking and please let me know if I can answer any more Brady Bunch questions for you. Have a great rest of the week.

~Shawna
