The Brady Boomers - The 'Tween Generation - 3

[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

---

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

---

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.

Last summer we went camping in Northern Wisconsin. Someone had "I think I love you" cranked up so loud, we could here it accross the lake. Of course, it was a perfert opportunity to embarass the teenagers...

[CheneyChick]

I remember when Godzilla met Bambi.

...anyone remember the Klutch Cargo TV cartoon?!! That was that exceedingly cheesy one in which the characters' mouths had superimposed over them actual human lips. As Dave Barry would say, "I'm not making this up."

Of the perhaps one hundred times that I've asked many different "Brady Boomers" this question, in multiple states, I've gotten but ONE affirmative response, plus many, many stares of incredulity. I AM NOT CRAZY!!!!!!!!!

OK, it took me a couple of weeks; but CheneyChick and Sabertooth are both from CA. I was born and raised there. Specifically, Santa Clara/Saratoga. Related to this thread... I was born in '67. I have a strange feeling I know you.

Tight bubble shirts with a big zipper, low rise blue jeans with flares, and platform shoes, they are wearing OUR clothes now! But I remember wearing that exact outfit then....ummm except I was skinnier.......

[WIMom]

I had one. LOL

LOL! Yes, I'll admit that I remember Klutch Cargo! That's about all I remember about the cartoon - that it was cheesy and the characters' mouths barely moved when they talked.

But how come "they" look so less innocent then we did? Or is that not so and just appears that way because now I'm the mom? ;)

[Sabertooth]

I remember something like this. Was it set in a submarine or something?

The mouths were really creepy.

Do you remember the sci-fi puppet shows? The Thunderbirds? Supercar? and the best of them all... Fireball XL-5?

[nutmeg]

Hmmm... Klutch Cargo... Race Bannon... somehow while on this thread, I thought of YOU! :-)

[WIMom]

You qualify only if the movies had the sound track not in sync with the actors mouths.....hehehehe

[lowbridge]

Who was Jan's admirer that sent her the locket? Who was Cindy's admirer that sent her a hair ribbon and candy bar? Where did the Brady's store their window screens? In the episode where Marcia gets hit in the nose with a football, who did Marcia break her date with in order to date the Big Man on Campus? What was the name of the Big Man on Campus? What was the name of the toy shop where Peter saved a life? What was the name of the ice cream shop where Marcia worked?

:-)

[flushed with pride]

That short was a drive-in intermission favorite of mine.

Bless you, and my pals Spinner and Paddlefoot thank you, as does my psychiatrist.

[WIMom]

Uh huh.....You're not crazy. That's right, you're OK, really....Now, why don't we just take a little ride out to that country estate and have a little looksy, OK?

[WIMom]

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to
leave because I'd go berserk?? Well...
You left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see
I've gone completely out of my mind.. And..

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be
happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!

You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said
that loosing you would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT???
I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and
laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And..

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa,
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the happy home. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you pay me back
for all my kind unselfish loving deeds.. Huh??
Well you just wait, they'll find you yet and when they do they'll put you
in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!!! And...

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.

'Peace', the assassin from 'Wizards'. Strange movie, even for Bakshi.

[Sabertooth]
