OT: Age Old Deabtes

[orion59]

When we got into a conversation of old classic tv shows on another thread, I started wondering how the BroadwayWorld.com community would weigh in on these age old debates:

Ginger or Marianne?

Samantha or Jeannie?

Starsky or Hutch?

My picks would be Marianne over Ginger because Marianne was the sweet, loving all American girl. Ginger was too self centered and too focused on becoming a star to ever give of herself.

Samantha over Jeannie because Samantha was intelligent, witty and just seemed like more fun to be around. Jeannie was rather spoiled and given to little tantrums.

Starsky over Hutch because he was just hotter. Hutch seemed like he would be too focused on his hair....and that song he recorded? Yuck.

Marianne, of course.

Samantha or Jeannie--tie.

Starsky or Hutch? I don't remember which one was which--the dark haired guy.

Let's make it seasonal--

Turkey--Dark meat or white? white

Potatos or dressing? Dressing, yum!

Sweet potatos or white potatos? We never have either.

Ginger all the way. I always wanted to see her hook up with the Professor. Marianne was too peaches and cream for my tastes.

Samantha. Although Jeannie would come in a close second for the belly button thing.

And Starsky. No contest.

What about Dick York or Dick Seargent? Chrissy, Cindy or Terri? And what was Klinger's best outfit? Updated On: 11/8/03 at 10:48 AM

Ginger. Marianne was too country-girl for me.

Samantha. If you can make magic by twitching your nose, that wins brownie points in MY book.

Starsky. Yum

Boxers or briefs...always good for killing a few minutes....

Dick Seargent. Dick York was too high strung. Besides Seargent was cuter and gay.

None of the Three's Company girls. I never liked that show or any of teh characters.
And....white meat with dressing.

Posted: 11/8/03 at 11:01am

Oh, Orion. Dick York was by far the cuter of the two. Those big brown eyes.... yum.

I always preferred Dick Seargent but, like they say, to each his own Dick

ginger (any woman who could keep that hair-doo after that long on an island...well, i'll take her)
samantha (the nose thing, yeah...and she had such cool relatives)
hutch (when i was younger and we played starsky and hutch i was always hutch since i was blonde, guess it stuck with me)
white meat and dressing and white potatoes (i believe i've covered the whole aryan nation thing, right?)
boxer briefs (you know, the mid-thigh kind...it's like palmolive, i'm wearing them now!)

[orion59]

Posted: 11/8/03 at 11:18am

Yeah, boxer briefs, the best of both worlds

How about Dobie or Maynard ?

Gomez or Herman Munster ?

[orion59]

I would go with Herman on that one. I've always liked Franenstein's monster. Lily was also to die for in that spider web gown.

For those of us alive in the 1970's:

The Partridge Family or The Brady Bunch?

Posted: 11/8/03 at 12:40pm

The Partridge Family all the way.

"If it looks like a duck...."

[orion59]

Posted: 11/8/03 at 1:07pm

The Pratridge Family. Lauie was much cooler than Marsha, Danny was funnier than Bobby, Shirley was a cooler mom and Keith with those low rise and pants and he had it all going on with the hair. He still looks good too at age 50 something.

I did adore Alice however

[Gothampc]

But Marcia was prettier than Laurie, especially when Laurie got the braces.

Alice was much funnier than Rueben Kindcaid.

Carol and Mike were much sexier, Shirley Jones was more talented.

The Brady Bunch had a great tagline: "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"

The Brady house was better than the Partridge Family house.

Both shows stank because they added really stupid characters:

The Brady Bunch: Cousin Oliver
The Partridge Family: Ricky "I can't sing" Seagall

Back to Thanksgiving....

Canned cranberries... jellied or whole berry?

[orion59]

Posted: 11/8/03 at 2:43pm

As much as I love whole berries, thanksgiving seems incomplete if there isn't a plate containing something canned shaped, red and gelatinous

[iflitifloat]

Posted: 11/8/03 at 4:48pm

The sound that the jellied cranberries make when they come out of the can makes my Thanksgiving complete.

Hm I always prefered Sam's cousin Sabrina. (Tho Uncle Arthur was great too For a while a bunch of us in my theatre arts class usta talk like him GOD were we geeks or what!)

For those of us alive in the 1970's: Should I break out the cane or wheel chair? That makes me feel soooo old.

The Partridge Family or The Brady Bunch? I liked them both

Cranberries–death before I’d touch one! Yuck!

Boxers or briefs–How would I know–that’s a male thing. I just learned about speedos last night.

I think Gomez was sexier.

I remember part of another age old argument but I can’t remember it all–something like “Less filling vs Tastes great” or some such.

Some questions that I have never gotten a satisfactory answer to are;

Why did Ginger take a three hour tour of the Hawaiian Islands with a full wardrobe of evening gowns?

What happened to Tiger on The Brady Bunch? He suddenly disappeared.

How come the Professor could make a radio out of coconuts but couldn't figure out how to fix the hole in The Minnow?

Why, if the Partridge Family were so famous did they only seem to play small nightclubs?

What did Carol Brady do all day? She didn't have a job and she had a full time live in maid.

Why wasn't Hazel fired a long time ago? She was nosey and overstepped the boundries of a maid.

What happened to Tiger on The Brady Bunch? He suddenly disappeared.

I think I can answer that one. I saw a Brady special that told the story that the dog that played Tigar nipped one of the kids and Robert Reed told the higher ups the dog had to go right away. They did as he said.

let me just slip in answers to the gilligan mysteries...

why did ginger take a three hour tour of the hawaiian islands with a full wardrobe of evening gowns?

she was actually on her way to a photoshoot and got on the wrong boat. see she'd pissed off her personal assistant and was left to make her way to the shoot alone.

how come the professor could make a radio out of coconuts but couldn't figure out how to fix the hole in the minnow?

well, if either one of those girls had come across with some mogambo, ol' professor woulda had them outta there like s-...well, pretty darn quick.

LoL I'm a product of the 80's, but it's all about the Brady Bunch for me!! I just finished watching an episode on TV Land actually And Thanksgiving is the only day when can-shaped fruit products are acceptable...and even welcomed! Who doesn't love a good slice of cranberry sauce...I mean, the can dents TELL you where to slice it...perfection!
