The Brady Boomers - The 'Tween Generation

Posted on 10/05/2001 2:36:58 PM PDT by WIMom


Most who were born at the tail end of the baby boom

- 1956 to 1964 or the beginning of GenX - 1965 to 1970 -

feel we are not part of those generations.

Therefore, it has been decided, we will be forever know as

THE BRADY BOOMERS


  1. We were too young to serve in Vietnam, but remember the news.

  2. As far as we're concerned, the music, television and popular entertainment and heroes of the 60s were and still are a matter for personal taste, and don't represent the shining apex of all civilization, icons to be revered by generations to come - in short, the Beatles were just a band that some might not like, and old Trek was cheesy and not well written.

  3. Old boomers came into adulthood at while we were playing with Barbies or G.I. Joes.

  4. Our clothes and music tended to be lighthearted, and we are more conservative/libertarian as a whole than the older boomers.

  5. And of course, we faithfully watched The Brady Bunch every Friday night.


BRADY TRIVIA

  1. How many rooms were in the Brady Bunch's home?
  2. What was Carol's nickname?
  3. What was Mike's occupation?
  4. How many kids were auditioned for the cast of the tv show?
  5. In one episode, Bobby lied about knowing a pro football player. Who?
  6. Where did the back door in the kitchen lead to?
  7. Name the Elementary, Jr. High & High Schools that the kids attended
  8. How much did Greg's first car cost?
  9. What was the name of the family's pet sheepdog?
  10. What was the name of the rarely seen next door neighbors on the tv show?
  11. Which Little House on the Prairie cast member appeared on the Brady Bunch?
  12. What item in the back yard was never used once throughout the series?


Post your memories of tunes, movies, shows, fashions, school stuff, or anything from OUR generations! And remember, have fun!

"9.What was the name of the family's pet sheepdog?"

9. Their pet sheepdog was named "Tiger".

Hooray, you are correct, sir. But, I will assume by your screen name that you may have had inside information. LOL! You win a chance to in the dunk tank with Peter!

Works for me. I was born in 1962 and identify fully with cultural artifacts such as the Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family. I can still remember watching them on Friday nights and pretending I was Danny Partridge. Now I watch the reruns and identify more with Reuben Kincaid. Pretty sad outcome to my life, huh?

I loved the Partridge Family and the Brady Bunch. Great memories, even though I can't answer any of those questions!
