Hawaii = Vincent Price & Ancient Curses

Advantage - Hawaii.

First of all, the proper "adventure" comparison is Hawaii vs. Grand Canyon.

Marsha in bikini pushes Hawaii over the top.

I have to go reheat my beans.

grand canyon

Alice caught a sweet gig

I equate the Oliver Era to the GD's Vince Era. No bueno.

Grand Canyon FTW.

 

Silver Platters vs Johnny Bravo?

Grand Canyon Rescue Episode is the name of a band that some of my friends are in.

lol..

not to be confused with "Oliver", from Hawaii

The Joe Namath one, John Brodie wouldn't have worked.

Amusement Park

Cousin Oliver was only on the final 6 episodes.  hardly an era.

hardly an era<<<

That's what I was thinking, but didn't want to ruffle ned's feathers.

The real question is whether Mike Lookinland (aka "Bobby") is a zoner???

His footprint is large.

70's and 80's TV is almost all garbage

Davy Jones episode.  "i'll never wash this cheek again"  

special notice for "oh My nose!/something suddenly came up" episode

Brady Bunch in Hawaii

 

Kiss at the amusement park

Anyone ever see the one where Marsha gets knocked up?

Taboo!!!

The actual Brady Kid actors were a bunch of smartass Hollywood ne'er-do-wells.  One time they stole the Partridge Family bus off the lot and went Joy-riding.

I think the story is when the cops eventually caught up,  they all got off with a warning.

But there was apparently some Partridge - Brady rivalry going on.

Jan's meltdown over her sister getting all the attention was a classic.  Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!

 

 Bobby Brady is a deadhead.

last line of his wiki bio - "Lookinland is a self-described Deadhead, a veteran of over 100 Grateful Dead shows."

Barry Williams, the actor who played Greg, is stoned in at least one episode and also appeared in the '60s hippy movie "Wild in the Streets".

>>>Carol in a swimsuit pushes Hawaii over the top.

I did some business with Peter Brady. Nice guy. 

Honorable mention to the episode when Bobby puts a bit too much soap in the washing machine-hilarity ensued.

>>>>>But there was apparently some Partridge - Brady rivalry going on.

 

Cowsills or STFU.

Mike Lookinland is indeed a Deadhead!

I don't see him often but we are old friends who caught a bunch of shows together - in Oakland and SLC.
Way back around 2000 I played a party in the Oakland hills and Mike got on stage and sang Scarlet Begonias with my band!

I used to live in a Penthouse Apartment on Lake Merit in Oakland (within walking distance to the Kaiser) and was handed the lease to the place by a guy who was Bobby's Room Mate at Utah State.

We would have regular party activities each end of the year to coincide with NYE Runs and Mike would regularly come by to puff and drink.
Most of the people at the party had no idea who he was since he had blond hair and a blond mustache (for real - and his hair was dyed black when he was a kid actor.)

I also partied with Mike at the Delta Center in SLC for the Utah shows in '94 and '95.

Last time I saw him was at a DSO show at GAMH in SF.

I enjoy vid-capping bands locally and sharing the results on Youtube.
At this particular show on 4/18/15 I was capping a great Scarlet > Fire and during the transition and throughout a lot of the Fire Jams you can hear one guy whistling and yelling behind me - all the while he was slyly nudging my elbow and trying to get me to fuck up.   I was hot under the collar and wanted to turn and crack the dude in the fuckin' jaw - but I held firm and kept shooting vid.   Somehow I got through it and when the song concluded I turned to confront the asshole and it was Mike - totally prankin' me and trying to piss me off.   Instead of a confrontation I had a good laugh and a hug....  He even bought me a beer!

haha

singing Scarlet Begonias- good stuff!

Hawaii.  Taboo, Brady's drama music .. That fucker had it all.  I do agree that the honerable mention goes to the washing machine episode. 

I think my chronology on the party was wrong - it was in 1991 at a ranch in the Oakland hills right near the intersection of 24 and 13.

Gotta give Mike Lookinland points for persistence:
