Neither do I. I still enjoy the show, even after reading all the books. The one thing that I remember most is how RR was very supportive of the kids. Darryl
Alice couldn't cook. Hey, Alice! What's For Dinner? The Unequaled Housekeeper For The 'Brady Brunch' Serves Up A Cookbook Of Recipes For All-American Familes
Then why was she even the housekeeper on the show? She should've not even bothered to release a cookbook if she could not even cook.
So, my parents love to say the pork chops and applesauce quote that Peter Brady said every single time pork chops and applesauce is served for dinner. Tonight's meal is actually pork chops and applesauce so I am sure that quote will be said later on today.
A). She was an actress- acting often means pretending to do something you can't really do... and B). The Brady Bunch brand is marketable and there are plenty of fans of the show who also like to cook. I'm going to buy the cookbook and I couldn't care less that Ann couldn't cook- it's not relevant. I'm sure the recipes in the cookbook are good and I'll enjoy the trivia and other stuff.
That link froze my computer over something called 'pubads' on it. Alice was originally not a cook but a secretary, on the Bob Cummings show.
They are out there. Look on Amazon or Ebay. There were several novels. That was the only one I had and I enjoyed it but I was 10 when I read it, so maybe not so much now. I no longer have it but would give it a try and read it again if I found it in my parents attic (which is prob where it is).
I've said that before in a bar, and people knew what I meant. It's a classic line that many people still remember.
