And, yes, to a guy my age, Laurie Partridge and Marcia Brady were hotties!
Later replaced by Valerie Bertinelli and Tiffani-Amber Thiessan.

Even though I was the age of Cindy, I always thought Jan was the hottest.
Marcia wasn't too bad either, but Jan had more of a surfer girl look.
I was familiar with Valerie Bertinelli and One Day at a Time, and yes she was very good looking, but have no idea who Tiffani-Amber Thiessan is?!!!

I was Cindy's age as well, but liked Marcia...however, Jan looked great in the last season with the long hair & no glasses - I think that's when I made the switch!
I watched One Day at a Time, but wasn't a huge Val fan...I think Tiffani-Amber Thiessan was from several years later in the '90s - quite a jump in eras for sure. By that time, I had long made the transition to girls who weren't on TV!

One hundred percent grade-A pablum, the Ayatollah of the teen idol industry, a hybrid Frankenstein creation of Hollywood and anti-pimple cream manufacturers, unthreatening sexuality delivered in a porcelain baby bottle.
That people get nostalgic for this tells you how manipulated we are.

I get it. Don't speak ill of the dead or zombies and werewolves will emerge from the woods and eat you limb by limb. Plus the graveyards will empty.
I stand by what I said. There is a reason why the word "industry" sometimes follows the word "music." David Cassiday was invented by the industry. He wasn't from the music side.
I hear Leif Garrett is in bad health. Please start composing your tributes now so you can chime in when doomsday arrives.

Your life by necessity would be very small if David Cassidy, his bubblegum music and his trite TV show played a big part in it.
Which gets back to my original point -- the under assistant west coast promo man did a job on you if you remember David Cassidy fondly. I grew up near Hollywood. I know how it works. Some advertisers get together with some music industry hacks to create a teen idol and a TV show with the aim of selling more pimple cream. Forty-five years later, thanks to some fine A&R work by the under assistant west coast promo man, the whole sorry episode is shrouded in oozy clouds of nostalgia.
ON: IORR is about the Stones, no? One reason I latched onto the Stones is they made such a fine contrast to David Cassidy, Bobby Sherman, Leif Garrett, Donny Osmond and the rest of that crew who will, OT, probably be eulogized here as well.

At this point you appear to be one of the "ban brigaders" hoping to bait someone into saying something honest to you, so you and your cronies can gang up and report them to get them banned.
