When I was 13 years old in 1979, it was already "uncool" (according to my classmates) to watch Brady Bunch reruns. So seeing that 4th graders today really enjoyed the show - without any predisposition on whether it is "square" or "retro" - makes me smile. I find it disheartening that kids today have no Saturday morning cartoons to speak of, no Wonderama on Sunday, and the family-centered shows usually disrespect the parents. This was a great experiment, Bob. Thanks for sharing. I particularly enjoyed this blog.

Hopefully you show them all the episodes by the year is over! lol. It is a shame, one reason being tv channels are not airing it nationally all the time in prime time. Or in the mornings before school. My sister is young and also loves the show.

I think all of us "grown ups" reflect fondly on the "simpler, easier" times. I can still sit through any episode of The Brady Bunch, I Love Lucy, Bewitched, etc. and although I have seen each episode so many times I have the dialogue memorized myself, these shows are pure and timeless and I feel it is our "duty" to keep them going with each new generation!

Thanks for the memories! But even some of my friends do not recognize the "guy in the picture with me" until I tell them that it's Barry Williams, and then when I say "you know, Greg, from "The Brady Bunch" - then I get that look of "ahhhhhhh". I also never thought that I would get my teenage son to watch old I Love Lucy episodes, partly because it lacks the big bang special effects and raunchy humor that permeates everything on the television these days. And *GASP*, it's in black and white! I think these television shows are so popular because they remind us of a simpler, easier time in life. (and is it just me, but this is the first blog I have received in WEEKS!) I remember that episode well too. Thanks for the memories!
