If you haven’t been keeping up with the real estate drama surrounding the home where the Brady Bunch was set, here’s the full story. The Studio City ranch, which appears to be untouched since the 1970s when wood paneling and floral wallpaper were all the rage, hit the market in late July. Shortly after, Lance Bass lost out on the house to a major “Hollywood Studio” after being told that his offer had been accepted, and the *NYSNC member did not say “Bye, bye, bye” quietly.Intrigued? It seems that everyone is, and now it has come to light that HGTV is the big corporation who trumped Bass’ offer. According to Variety, David Zaslav, the CEO of HGTV’s parent company Discovery Inc., told investors this week, “I am excited to share that HGTV is the winning bidder and will restore the Brady Bunch home to its 1970s glory as only HGTV can.” Lance Bass may beg to differ with that last statement, but now he won’t have the chance to prove them wrong.The prospect of watching the restoration unfold on TV each week is certainly an exciting one, and despite the perhaps questionable unfolding of the deal, Brady Bunch fans are through the roof that the iconic spread is in safe hands with no danger of demolition.The Douglas Elliman listing shows that the contract has been signed, so keep your eyes peeled for more news about the content that may soon be created surrounding the iconic abode.
