Oh I totally agree with you on that! I think those old fashioned type writers are one of the only things from those old days that people don't miss or care about anymore!
Yeah those old manual typewriters sucked. It took a good deal of finger strength to push the buttons down as far as was necessary to get the character to show up on the paper. And of course if you made a mistake you couldn't just backspace and correct it like you can now. I can still remember the smell of Liquid Paper to this day. :D
They had electric typewriters back then. I used an electric Smith Corona 1981 thru 1985. PCs were real pricey for a HS Kid with a P/T Supermarket min wage job.
Judging from the age of the kids, this was about 1969. The women’s movement of the early 70s had yet to explode and the Brady clothes and hair had not yet turned into the far-out psychedelic groovy ness of the 1970s. They are still dressed from the early 60s when everyone looked like the Kennedys and cared only about what the neighbors thought of them.
At 0:31, That man basically describes the idea that Sherwood Schwartz had when he came up with the show, trying focus away from all the bad stuff happening at the time, sex, drugs, the Vietnam War and all the protests against it.
The Women’s Movement was about to explode. This was about 1969. But you are right. Even as far back as 1847, the writer Charlotte Bronte was the only one to negotiate with her male publishers. That said, if it was an old man in a suit discussing Tomorrow’s Woman, I might have felt safer sending my awesome husband in a suit to negotiate with the sexist old dude. RBG got rejected from 41 law firms by old men like this.
@@ravenel2 Yep. 50+ years ago, it was more "socially acceptable" for men to refuse to deal with women in a professional setting, to treat women as children, to treat women as if they lack the intelligence to be able to understand business matters, and to blatantly take advantage of women financially and/or sexually. Letting men deal with men was preferable to blatant misogyny (I prefer to let a man deal with car mechanics, though I'll pay for the work on my car). There are men these days (some of whom weren't born yet in 1969) who will try any of the above, but it's less socially acceptable to do so, so they might be more subtle about it. We've come a long way in 50+ years, and we still have a long way to go for true equality and full respect.
Carol was deeply disappointed and Mike was trying to help his wife, as any good, concerned husband might do. If I recall accurately, the rejection letter Carol got actually stirred up more questions than concrete answers as to why her original story wasn't accepted for publication. Mike met with this guy for further clarification.
Omg-two men in suits discussing Tomorrow’s Women. This was about 1969. Just wait about three more years until RBG and all the other influential women arrived on the scene! But at least kids can see what life was like before personal computers...
Robert Reed's blue eyes were so beautiful ❤❤❤ R.I.P Legend
“Nobody got shot or killed or anything!” Pretty dark for a Brady Bunch episode. I love it!
Robert Reed was so handsome. He had the bluest eyes. RIP💖
The old typewriters are something I DON'T miss. I'm too much on love with autocorrect.

Cut/copy and paste allows for super easy editing. Wished I had Word during college, having typed dozens of papers.
Don't ya hate when you get into a snippet of the show & there's no more?
God yes! Especially this one, we didn't get to see anything resolve!

Carol types with 2 fingers, lol!
Typing was the most important skill for a woman of her generation and she couldn't do it properly?
"Tell it like it is."
❤i love the show
What I don't get is why Mike is the go-between for Carol and the magazine.

Her cuffs magically disappeared when they went from the closeup to the full shot of Carol. 😂
He thought back then todays world was bad enough , he should try living in the here and NOW……

The Brady Bunch was awesome even though it lasted five seasons
