The Brady Bunch

(Now I understand why a British pastor, Gary Brady, has the word "bunch" as part of his email address!)

Carol's response was, "She hasn't got a cavity any more. The dentist filled it!"

"Oh yes!" remarked Bobby to Cindy, "Now you look a lot more attractive. I used to think you looked a bit like a horse!"

(Sorry, Americans - I've never even heard of the Brady Bunch, let alone seen it, so that's probably nothing at all like what the characters would really say!)

 

Sometimes David, you need to count your blessings? BTW, you can have Pierse Morgan back!

 

Ever seen "Family Affair"? Cindy was loosely modeled on Buffy from Family Affair. Cindy was, to be blunt, not the sharpest horse in the barn (and this was among a family so stupid they had artificial turf for a backyard and still made the boys mow it...never understood that one).

Incidentally, one of the songs written for the "Brady Kids" to sing, "Keep On", was written by Jackson Browne. I have a bootlegged copy of a Browne concert where he tells the story and says, "every night, the band begs me not to sing this song and every night, I torture them with it". Partly due to legal issues and partly due to his embarrassment at being associated with the Brady Bunch (he thought he was writing it for another show, not the Brady Bunch), Browne never took credit for it and so the songwriting credit went to Frank Devol, who did the music for the show. Thus, making Devol insanely wealthy.
