THE FLORENCE HENDERSON SHOWTHE FLORENCE HENDERSON SHOW

She is everyone’s favourite TV mom. To an entire generation of viewers, one-time Broadway star Florence Henderson will forever be remembered as Carol Brady of the enduringly popular family comedy series, The Brady Bunch. Now, Canadians will get to see her in a brand new role: as host of her own entertainment series, The Florence Henderson Show.

This weekly hour on Canada’s One: the Body, Mind & Spirit channel will offer an insider’s look at Hollywood – with a generational twist. Aimed at a 55-plus audience that has little interest in the self-destructive antics of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, The Florence Henderson Show will feature intimate one-on-one conversations with legendary stars like Carol Burnett, Bob Newhart, Carl Reiner, Della Reese, Tippi Hedren and Pat Boone, as well as visits to iconic Tinseltown landmarks such as the Hollywood sign and the Brown Derby restaurant. Musical performances by the likes of Taylor Dayne and the Cowsills and special features on pop culture nostalgia will round out the weekly lineup.
