The Brady Boomers - The 'Tween Generation - 3
Posted on 10/06/2001 9:46:31 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
Post your memories of tunes, movies, shows, fashions, school stuff, or anything from OUR generations! And remember, have fun!
- We were too young to serve in Vietnam, but remember the news.
- 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.
- Old boomers came into adulthood at while we were playing with Barbies or G.I. Joes.
- Our clothes and music tended to be lighthearted, and we are more conservative/libertarian as a whole than the older boomers.
- And of course, we faithfully watched The Brady Bunch every Friday night.

Re: post #11-
who is she? The answer is Cheryl Ladd. Man can you pick em!BTW, if you see a little red x there- there is a secret to make them appear on your browser- here it is:
Right click on the red x.AND select "properties". Highlight and copy the complete url and paste it into your browser address bar. Then hit enter and it will take you to the image.
Sabertooth,
for future ref, Geocities doesn;t allow us to copy their images- you'll always get the red x's from them.

"Was it set in a submarine or something?" Uh, nope.
"The mouths were really creepy." "Creepy" only begins to describe it.
"Do you remember the sci-fi puppet shows? ... Fireball XL-5?" Holy crap, Fireball XL-5's one of my earliest memories!! ...haven't thought of that show in many, many years. For some reason, it gave me the willies, big time. Just 'cause of you, I'll not sleep well tonight at all!! ...will have to cuddle up closer to my betrothed for security, but can't tell her why, lest she question my manliness, and 'cause the show was well before her time anyway!!!

Nutmeg was just being nice. No... I really DO remember the Klutch Cargo cartoon. (Uh-oh... they're coming to take me away also, I guess!)
mo'shea - Perhaps Klutch Cargo was only aired in New England, or the Northeast?

My husband and I seem to be the only ones who remember "Land of the Lost"--sleestacks...fighting off ferocious dinos with sticks! Hey, anyone remember the name of the show that aired right after this one? I only remember the opening...some boy with big blonde curly (almost a 'fro) hair on a beach. Really bad TV!!!
To: mo'shea
Of course, dear, anything you'd like. And I'll give you these
little candies if you are really good!
