Christopher and Nicholas were pretty impressed the other day that I knew all the words to the opening song ofThe Brady Bunch.
Is there anyone from my generation that doesn't?
We weren't even allowed to watch TV that wasn't PBS, and I still managed to furtively watch every episode and learn every word. Can you imagine who I might be today if I hadn't?
Well, Alice was talking about going out with Sam for the evening and I thought,
"Alice, how old are you?"
Of the 5 people I polled, each guessed late 50's or 60's.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Thanks to Wikipedia I was able to answer my questions...
The show originally aired from 1969 -1974 (when we watched throughout the 70's and 80's they were reruns in syndication) and Ann B. Davis (Alice) was born in 1926.
Which makes her 43 - 48 years old while entertaining viewers on The Brady Bunch.
I'm almost 40. And to quote my friend, Kathy, "Compared to Alice, we look like super-models!"
Thanks, Alice!

Back in the old days, women aged. I think Aunt Bea in the Andy Griffith's show was all of 50.
I'm the same age my mother was when I got married!
I think nowadays we dye our hair more, work out, wear "young clothes" and "young make-up."
Mother and grandmother roles are so different from what they once were.
I made Jeff read your post - he laughed and agreed that we really are looking like super-models! Can you imagine if we had her hairdo?
