I'm like Sam the butcher, bringing Alice the meat . . .

So, how sick am I? When I saw the story on CNN that a member of the Brady Bunch cast had moved on to the great 70's bi-level with an astroturf backyard in the sky my immediate thought was, dammit, it better not have been Ann B. Davis (Alice) . . . she was the final cut from my team! Well, it wasn't Alice, but it was someone near and dear to her heart . . . Allan Melvin passed away at the age of 84; succumbing to cancer after a long battle. Although Melvin spent just three years on The Brady Bunch, he firmly entrenched his spot in pop culture thanks to his loveable goofiness and sense of humor.
