« Brady Bunch » star Mike Lookinland admitted his behavior was « fully off the rails » after finding mega stardom with « The Brady Bunch. »
Lookinland and Christopher Knight opened up about their experience as young adults in the Hollywood industry after starring as Bobby and Peter Brady in the 1970s sitcom.
« How come you guys didn’t end up as a mugshot? » Jaybeau Jones asked during an episode of « The Real Brady Bros. » « …There’s no one’s ever said a bad thing about any of ‘The Brady Bunch’ kids. »
« Maybe because we didn’t wanna disappoint Florence and Bob, » Knight responded. « I mean, that was the beginning of it. It’s like there’s certain people that you just don’t wanna disappoint. I think that was stronger with me with those two than it was my own parents. »

Florence Henderson and Robert Reed starred in « The Brady Bunch » as Carol and Mike, portraying parental figures for Lookinland and Knight.
Lookinland admitted he struggled more in his 20s.
« I lived my childhood in my 20s because I couldn’t when I was a child, » he explained. « And in my twenties, I had a car and money and freedom … I was fully off the rails. »
He later added: « I’m just thankful that not every man, woman, and child had a high-def camera in their pocket when I was 25, like they do now, because it would have ruined my life, » he added.
Knight said he had heard « stories » about what Lookinland had gotten up to back then. « Some of that was under the radar, » Lookinland responded.
« What happens in Salt Lake City stays in Salt Lake City, » Knight joked.
