The Brady Boomers - The 'Tween Generation - Thread 2

[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.

I haven't heard that name in years. I had one of his albums!

[vikingchick]

I never liked her. Maybe all that red hair frightened me. :)

[fnord]

That story is a hoot, lololol

[CheneyChick]

Glad you like the story of Fred - it's a long story how I ended up finding that little gem..... LOL!

You are remiss in not appearing in our generational chat room. Admit it, you watched the Brady bunch.

[Roebucks]

Ok, well I admit that I knew there was a connection between the Brady Bunch, flashlights and aliens. But, the part I couldn't figure out was how all the weirdos on FR fit into the plan, until now. Tin foil antenna? hehehe

[Roebucks]

Now that's a killer cat! My two would take one swipe and run like h*ll!!!

[Roebucks]

Maybe all that red hair frightened me. :)

Hey now! I used to resemble that remark- when I still had hair that is. ;)

[Roebucks]

I saw the Eagles this summer in Denver, their only American show. The music was great and the boys can still get it on, but the anti-W remarks soured many of us that don't live in liberal Denver or Boulder.

They dedicated "Already Gone" to W. It went downhill from there. made me feel great about forking over all that dough to hear their tripe.

[CheneyChick]

Hey Girl! When you have a minute you MUST check out these threads - the are a HOOT! CC :)

Remember cigarette advertising on TV? We're the last generation that does, before the anti-smoking Tobaccaliban came to power.

Can anyone name these brands from their jingles?

1. "__________ tastes good, like a cigarette should."

2. "You can take __________ out of the country but,
     You can't take the country out of __________."

3. "You've come a long way baby,
      To got where where you've got to today,
      You've got your own cigarette now baby,
      You've come a long, long way."

4. "Taste me, taste me. Come on and taste me.
      That's all _________asks."

5. "Hey big spender, why don't you spend a little dime with me."

Not than I'm a big fan of smoking. Hey, does anyone remember the early anti-smoking cartoon commercial called "Johnny Smoke?"
He was a masked cigarette cowboy who rode into town and made everyone cough to death? He even had his own theme song.

What was the illness the kids got when all 6 were sick in bed? What were the names of the respective doctors and who played the doctors -- (both TV parents)?

Measles. The names of the Doctors were Dr. Cameron and Dr. Porter. Dr. Porter was played by Marion Ross. Better known as Marion Cunningham of the tv series Happy Days. Dr. Cameron was played by Herbert Anderson. Better known as Henry Mitchell of the 1959 tv series Dennis The Menace

Dang, lowbridge. Your are the UNDISPUTED BB expert. Wow!

It's a true blue spectacle - the miracle is you! (how did that go again?)
