Remember the brady's dog? Whatever happened to him?------------The dog that played Tiger was hit by a car and killed early in the first season (although Tiger's death was not referred to in any episode). When a replacement dog proved problematic, the producers decided the dog would only appear when essential to the plot. Tiger appeared in about half the episodes in the first season and about half a dozen episodes in the second season. His last appearance was in "What Goes Up," which aired in 1971. Eventually, the dog was phased out altogether. He disappeared completely after the third season and was not mentioned again, not even when the show ended.

This is a Sony TC-630 reel to reel tape player. I had one of them back in the mid '70s. I bought it so that I could record a two man group that my buddy and I had. He played a 12 string guitar and I played a harmonica and the drums, (not at the same time... I wasn't that coordinated.) For those of you who might have had one of these wonderful machines you'll remember that it had what Sony called "Sound on Sound" capabilities. Simply put, that meant that after you had made a recording you could go back to whatever point you wanted to and record something else on top of what you had just recorded, without erasing your original recording. What I would do is record my friend and I playing a song, with me on my harmonica, usually playing something by John Denver. When we were through I would go back to the beginning of the song and using headphones, listen to what we had just recorded while playing my drums using the Sound on Sound function.
When we would play back the recording it would play everything just as if we had three members in the group! What a great machine this was! It weighed about a zillion pounds, though.

Back in 1982 the Timex Corp. and Sinclair research (of Britain,) teamed up and produced the Timex Sinclair 1000. It was a low-priced introduction to home computers. It sported 2K of onboard RAM, (yes, 2K! 2 kilobytes of memory!) You could also purchase a 16K add-on memory module called a RAM Pack, (lower right in the picture,) which increased the memory to 18K. I believe there was also a 64K RAM Pack available later. The ones sold in Britain were known as the ZX 81. It had no display but you could hook it up to the VHF antenna connections on the back of your television set. It also didn't have any sound. The operating system was a modified version of the BASIC computer language and it gave a lot of people, including me, their first taste of computer programming.
There were a number of programs that you could buy for it. They were all on cassette tapes. What you would do is connect the unit to your TV set, plug your cassette tape player into it and put whatever program you might have into the tape player. You had to turn the volume off on your cassette player because the programming code was just one continual screeching sound. I had a cassette tape that had a few different programs on it. All of the characters in the programs were block-headed type graphics, but they actually would walk across the screen and even jump up and down. Cool stuff back then.
I remember this costing me $29, as the store I bought it at was getting rid of them. I believe the original selling price was $99. I also bought the 16K RAM Pack for $25. I've kept it all these years in good condition thinking that someday it would be worth something, and I was right. They're selling for about 10 bucks on eBay! Win a few, lose a few. Ironically, these things have somewhat of a cult following, and I've even heard of clubs dedicated to the TS-1000!

Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes, was #1 in the UK in Jan '70, and #5 in the US in February of '70. That smash hit proved to be so successful that Edison recorded other songs under other group names which duplicated the sensation of their first hit together.
As White Plains, their single of My Baby Loves Lovin' reached #13 in the US and #9 in the UK. Under the name of The Brotherhood Of Man, their United We Stand reached #13 in the US and #1 in the UK in 1970. Whatever works!

Virginia Mayo is well-remembered for portrayals of Ladies and Princesses and other patrician, goody-two-shoes, blueblood types in comedies and song-and-dance movies. But when she went bad, she went all the way. In Raoul Walsh's WHITE HEAT, she was sleeping around, shooting mother-in-laws in the back, ready to rat out anybody or everybody, whatever would serve her purposes...

This familar TV theme ought to bring back memories. This happens to be the opening of the first-ever My Three Sons episode, in 1960. The show ran an amazing 12 years and went through many cast changes. The pre-1965 black and white episodes are seldom seen these days. My favorite cast member was the beautiful Tina Cole who played Katie. She was adorable! Whatever became of her?

This clip is from early in the first season of Family Feud, so this poor schmuck might be the first in a long line of players to give truly rotten answers during the Fast Money round. (You've got to love how Richard Dawson's shirt matches his tie. Whatever happened to that style?)

One of the most despicable incidents in the era of the Jim Crow South occurred in the summer of 1955. Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black boy from Chicago, was visiting a great uncle in rural Money, Mississippi. Till, who was unused to the Deep South's severe racial segregation policies, made the fatal mistake of flirting with Carolyn Bryant, an attractive married white woman who ran a general store in Money with her husband, Roy. Depending on which version of the story you believe, Till may have whistled at Carolyn Bryant, grabbed her wrist, asked her for a date, or playfully called her 'baby.' Whatever the case, the incident resulted in vigilanteism. At least two men took Till from his uncle's home at gunpoint, beat him severely, shot him, weighted down Till's body, and tossed it into the Tallahatchie River. It was found by fishermen three days later. Two men (Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam) were brought to trial. They were found not guilty by an all-white jury that deliberated for a little more than an hour. The two suspects later admitted to the crime after being paid $4,000 by Look Magazine for their story. Till's mother put her son's grotesquely bloated and battered body on display in an open casket before his funeral. Pictures of Till's corpse appeared in many newspapers around the world. Some estimates say that 50,000 mourners filed past his casket. Many historians claim the uproar surrounding the Emmett Till case instigated the Civil Rights movement. Milam and Bryant both died of cancer in the early 1990s. They remained unrepentant about the crime until their deaths.
