Sherwood Schwartz once claimed that the only reason Robert Reed worked on this show was solely based on his need to fulfill a contractual obligation with Paramount. Initially, Reed was meant to star in a sitcom based on Barefoot in the Park (which he had already done on Broadway) although it never got off the ground. In addition, Reed was also considered for a TV adaptation of the movie Houseboat, which also was axed. As both sitcoms were no longer going forward, the opportunity was there for Reed to play Mike Brady.
