The Brady Boomer Threads

[Roebucks]

I'll admit it, I was hot for Mrs. Brady. (12 yr old runt that I was...). Worked for Greg. ;o)

[lowbridge]

Aside from the appearance of Joe Namath, what other Football figure made a cameo in the Brady series? How much reward did the Brady kids get for returning a lost wallet containing over 1100 dollars? How much salary did Sam offer Greg to work as his delivery boy? What was the minimum wage then in real life? What did Greg plan on doing with the money he earned in that episode? Who was Marcia's first love and what was his hobby? What was the name of Jan's real and imaginary boyfriend? How much reward did Peter get from the newspaper for saving a girls life?

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

Isn't that begging the question... "old boomers came into adulthood?"     When did that happen?  ;-`

(As for the Brady Bunch, disco music, etc. I opt out there, too.) I preferred Star Trek or Twilight Zone reruns to the Brady's, any day. And as for musical tastes, if anyone knows who Larry Norman is, write me!

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

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.
