markr Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 With three of the Bradys returning to KI on 5/19, I thought it would be fun to have the following poll. Who do you think is the cooler mom, Carol Brady or Shirley Partridge? Quote
jdawg1998 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Speaking of this, why is the Kings Island Partridge Family episode not nearly as popular as The Brady Bunch? 1 Quote
DBInternational Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Because the Brady Bunch was wayyyyy more popular than the Partridge Family back when. 2 Quote
Browntggrr Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Mrs. Brady by far. Any mom that can support oil that much will certainly win an oil bikini wrestling match! YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE! 1 Quote
markr Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Love both Mrs. Brady and Mrs. Partridge but have to give the edge to Mrs. Partridge since she played in a band with her kids. Kind of feeling bad about setting up this poll as not sure any mom can compete on the coolmeter against a mom who plays in a band. At any rate if we were to have a cool mom contest among all the TV moms I would definately give Mrs. Brady first runner up prize. 1 Quote
Hank Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I always liked Shirley Jones because of her roles in Oklahoma, Carousel, and The Music Man. As for who's the cooler mom - they're both such plastic characters that if either of them ever got hot, they'd melt. 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I thought they were both hot. Then again, I was an odd kid. 8 Quote
rotag Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 my vote is for Partridge; & ive always wondered that as well jdawg1998... ...& dont call me Shirley. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I don't know that I've ever seen The Partridge Family, though I'm a big fan of the group that the show was based on (The Cowsills). Quote
Jr for Birdy Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I thought they were both hot. Then again, I was an odd kid. Nothing odd about that......unless I was odd too? Quote
markr Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 The Partridge Family episode is also on youtube and David Cassidy demonstrated what a great comic actor he was in this episode-love the scene where he looks like he is going to get sick on the Carousel. I watched both The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family when they were both a part of the Friday night line-up and I remember both shows being very popular. I think the Brady Bunch for some reason has simply had more exposure in syndicaton than The Partridge Family which may be why The Brady Bunch seems to be more popular among those who weren't born when both shows were in prime time. PS Looks like Mrs. P has gained a few votes. Quote

XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Tough choice, but I had to go with Mrs. Brady. Mrs. Partridge was close because she played in the band, but I watched the Bradys way more than I did th Partridges. And on that note, it's only a few more days until I have my annual night-before-opening-day Partridges/Bradys at KI double feature! 3 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Quick question regarding that last video. What was that large orange/blue "bubble" building? 1 Quote
markr Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 Laurie looked pretty mad when she was riding the antique cars with Keith-it was obvious that she wanted to go on The Racer with the rest of the family. Quote
rotag Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Quick question regarding that last video. What was that large orange/blue "bubble" building? im not 100% sure, but i believe it was for a show, like a temporary outdoor ampitheater... 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Indeed. You sat in the floor (most people reclined), and watched films projected on the ceiling. It was quite the high tech for the day. The building was inflatable, and air supported at least in part. I believe a snow did it in. 4 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I liked the Brady Bunch (and therefore prefer Carol) because that show featured a "complete" family who had a firm household (albeit a physically impossible house), complete with a friendly, live-in housekeeper. Though my own family was a mess of divorce, neglect and abuse, I could relate to the Bradys because that's what I believed life should be like. The partridges were travelling musicians who drove a weird bus and pretended to play instruments with such fakeness that it made me shudder... at four! So, yeah, Carol Brady, pretty much. 2 Quote
