Addictive!!

I love putting in popular actors of a while back and seeing the name buzzes they spawned....for a brief time, e.g.:

Chad - Chad Everett (of "Emergency" wasn't it?)

Farrah - you know who and when

Try it - the peak is right when each show was on TV, every time!

(As I suspected, Alice was huge at the turn of the century....the lAST turn of the century. We were creamed by Allison, who never even existed until the '40's. And for some strange reason, Formica doesn't even register. Hmmmm.....)

I tried this with the Brady family & found that most of their names peaked in the '50s & took a dive in the '60s & '70s!

  • Mike peaked in the '60s at #49 & dropped to #216 by the '70s;
  • Carol peaked in the '40s at #5, dropped to #38 in the '60s & #128 in the '70s;
  • Alice's already been mentioned as heading downwards for the entire century (Alice's, we Fred's feel your pain...);
  • Greg Peaked in the '60s at only #105 & was #214 by the '70s;
  • Marcia peaked in the '40s at #87, had dropped to #191 by the '60s & #287 by the '70s;
  • Peter peaked in the '50s at #39, was #42 in the '60s & #55 in the '70s;
  • Jan peaked in the '40s at only #237, dipped to #249 by the '60s & dove to #649 by the '70s;
  • Bobby Peaked at #26 in the '30s, by the '60s it was #79 & down to #98 by the '70s;
  • Cindy peaked in the '60s at #48, but was down to #103 by the '70s. As "Cynthia" (everyone knows that was Cindy's real name, right) she did better at her peak: #11 in the '50s, up to #10 in the '60s, dropping to #31 by the '70s.
