RegGuheert Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 That's terrible. MeTV will almost certainly have a tribute to her today by showing episodes of the Brady Bunch and various other shows in which she has appeared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Carol Brady has passed away. Another part of my childhood is gone. Same here - and no matter how much I forget now due to age or other issues, I can still remember the Brady family names/people. It's kind of amazing when one thinks about how much unforgettable influence they had on our generation. With so many different channels and shows on now (and lately), I'm not sure that my kids' generation has any similar show that so many watched and remembered. All will remember their individual favorites, of course, but (almost) the whole generation? I don't see that in school. I see a pretty big variety there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Carol Brady has passed away. Another part of my childhood is gone. I feel this way, too. :( My DH pokes fun at my attachment to the Brady Bunch, but I was a latchkey kid and watching reruns of that show after school got me through a lot of lonely hours. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 I grew up in a pretty strict home. Very religious, not quite Duggars, but close enough in some respects. When we were in the US, this is one show I was actually allowed to watch.....this, Little House, and the Waltons. Yup, that was about it other than cartoon types. I wasn't allowed to watch the Partridge Family because of the secular music and the mom being divorced (I wish I were kidding.). And I never understood the lumping of the Brady Bunch and Partridge Family together since my reality was that one was bad and one was good.

I always thought the Partridge Family was "bad" too, because of the secular music! And the Brady Bunch was good. It's strange to look back at one's childhood with adult eyes.

It's strange to look back at one's childhood with adult eyes. And the funny part is that the Brady Bunch DID have some secular music!

PrincessMommy Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I saw it on my FB feed too. Very sad. Not only do I remember the names and many episodes.. I can still remember the layout of the house. I haven't been there watched it for years, but it's little like going home to my childhood. I thought this quote from her was on-point: "It represents what people always wanted: a loving family. It's such a gentle, innocent, sweet show, and I guess it proved there's always an audience for that," Henderson said in 1999. May she rest in peace. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I pretty much have every episode memorized. I've gotthe whole series on DVD. Time for a marathon. :( 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollyOR Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 :( Sad day. One of my kiddos watched all of the episodes a few years ago. It was fun to walk through the living room and recognize the episodes. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Awe, that's sad :(. She is one of those people who seems perennially young in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
