Ann B. Davis on the Dating Game

Both lesbians...

But was Ann a huge cunt in real life?

OMG! I never knew she was on. That's funny.

I have never met a lesbo who is not a real cunt, so yeah probably

Hilarious OP! Uncanny!

Ann was a JESUS FREAK!

Bachelor 1 is bald.

Bachelor 2 is wearing a cheap Korean wig.

Bachelor 3 is wearing a cheaper Korean wig.

No wonder the gal was a lez.

Religion does attract some lesbians.

Allows an outlet for their puritanical humorlessness.

Haha, she was all “I remain unconvinced. Back to the tuna.”

I think Ann was a much MUCH nicer person than Ellen.

The other two bachelors their hair seems real. The host of the show looks like he's wearing a wig. He also looks like a Chevrolet salesman.

Such a hardcore lesbian. What was the point of this?

They should have had a gay version of The Dating Game

Ann B. Davis was one of the biggest dykes of all time.

I think she is beautiful in this clip. I'm a gay man, no physical attraction, but gosh she is pretty.

She’s sort of cute here. Too bad they gave her three duds for her episode. Should have been three gorgeous hunks.

Great analysis OP.

Bachelor #2's voice sounds so familiar.

Of course OP, because people choose their mannerisms and the way they hold themselves, talk etc. Unless of course Ellen is a brilliant character actress who is permanently in character, i'd say it's a coincidence or they're both dykes!

Lots of women similar to Ann (in those days) followed the path to “God” and stayed in the closet. It’s too bad. Times were tough for gays and lesbians back then.

They should've gotten Sam the Butcher to play one of the bachelors.

I've been saying it for years. If they do a Brady Bunch Movie reboot, Ellen Degeneres would be perfect casting for Alice.

At least they won a trip to San Francisco. Ann could have ended the date early and then went to a lesbian bar.

The comments on that clip also mention the Ellen resemblance.

Wow, that's true about the Ellen similarities - weird!

She's mocking, like a dyke would be toward a male suitor. This must have been attempt to hetero-size her image.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when her and Robert Reed dished the dirt.

She was a homophobe. Sherwood's son said he once asked her point blank if she was a lesbian and she laughed and said, "I have many problems but that isn't one of them."

So being a lesbian is a problem? Cancel that show.

r25 She was from a VERY different time and generation. That response was not at all unusual for someone of her era.

R25- She should have said- I have many problems but being heterosexual isn't one of them.

I always imagined Ann being a lot like Frances Bavier, the actress who played Aunt Bea and felt it overwhelmed her true self. When you create an iconic role it stays with you forever!

It's too bad she never found the right guy

I think the guys' balls withdrew up in their bodies when they heard it was Alice from The Brady Bunch.

[quote]It's too bad she never found the right guy

She was too busy EATING PUSSY.

Thank you, R22! I didn't look at the comments. I just posted the first clip of her I found that reminded me of Ellen.

And I didn't mention the super lesbo 1970's pantsuit! Or that I think she may have been too repressed about her sexuality to realize she was a lesbian. I've known a number of women like that.

Ellen's version

"Back To The Tuna" would be a great movie or album title.

Were the three guys gay as well?

A family friend did some reno work on Anne's home in Studio City where Anne lived with her "niece.". Our friend, a big flamer, said the two of them pinged to the moon and back but the younger woman was somewhat attractive

Somehow I would think Alice's version of the Dating Game would be three gals answering questions like: "If Jan flushed a tampon, how would you unclog the toilet?" or "What is the best way to get Bobby's jizz stains out of his underoos?"

In the comments, one woman said that Ann B. Davis asked to see her new baby's "little tallywacker." EEK!

Of course Alice was a dyke. What do you think she and Carol were doing during the day when Mike was at work and the kids were in school?

I would love to see Ellen with a genuine Ann B. Davis hairdo! Does anyone here know how to do Photoshop?

[quote] What do you think she and Carol were doing during the day when Mike was at work and the kids were in school?

Selling drugs in the carport and tricking out the kids, silly.

Ann B. Davis sweety....

She took over the role of Winifred when Carol Burnett departed from the Broadway production of "Once Upon a Mattress."

Unrelated but related. A man on our floor was on the dating game twice. One episode was with The Carpenters. It was all set up (no surprise) for the girl to choose Richard. The other time was just a regular show. He said there were no dates. It was a pay check. Most people were struggling actors chosen by casting directors to see what you looked like on camera. He said he was on the newly wed show too:: he was paired up with an actress & fed the questions. No one won a trip. Just a pay check & screen time. He said a lot of these shows were like that & he did many.

r26

So owning slaves as from a different generation, so I guess you support the Confederate flag eh?

You can watch the Richard Carpenter episode on youtube as well.

I had no idea she'd been so closeted. Must've been from living in the broom closet under the stairs for so many years.

And the Dating Game with Karen Carpenter, another closet case, in my opinion.

"So owning slaves as from a different generation, so I guess you support the Confederate flag eh?"

Your whole sentence is one big "Oh Dear", Junior. Stop eating the paint off the walls at the community daycare.

Ellen would have been 2 years old at the start of the Brady Bunch, so I doubt it...unless she was watching reruns.

R44 Take your nsufferable sjw bullshit somewhere else! Being a lesbian would have been. a problem for an actress on a family show (back then) deal with it idiot!

FFS r44 nice false analogy. Lots of people from Ann B. Davis's generation had issues with being gay, especially if they were religious, which she was. Why don't you read a little history? It was such a different time.

Ann had a twin.

Ann was not a lesbian.

Ellen was born in January of 1958, R49. The Brady Bunch aired from September 1969 to March 1974 and after that, there were a number of Brady Bunch specials. How was Ellen two years old for this?

^^ how much pussy did Ann pull during this period?

Ann and Nancy Kulp were the two biggest dykes in Hollywood back then.

Just because they were slightly butch doesn't make them lesbian, neither of them were out.

Nancy Kulp came out in 1989. Ann B. Davis never came out. She repressed her sexuality and lived celibately within the church.

I was disappointed in Ann B. Davis in interview in which she said Nancy Kulp was weird or something just as negative. I wonder if it was because Nancy at least latterly didn't deny her sexuality while Ann closeted herself away with a cult of sorts.

Ann hated working with Rip Taylor on The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. Apparently he was too crude for her tastes (and I'm betting she also hated his flamboyant, all-but-officially-out persona.)

For one week, r42, then the show closed. Carol couldn’t do it for one more stinkin’ week?!?

For whatever reason, I thought Imogene Coca replaced her. Maybe she did the National Tour.

Ann B. Davis kept slaves?

Possibly, her father served in the confederate army.

Love the way she GTFOs away from her 'date' as soon Jim Lange shakes her hand :)

Nancy Kulp came out in 1989.

Dody Goodman opened the National Tour and was replaced by Imogene Coca.

If you look online, there is a full complement of publicity photos for Ann B. Davis in Once Upon a Mattress. The full company, on stage, in costume. That all cost a lot of money to produce. There is just no way that the producers planned for Ann B. Davis just to fill in a final week.

So what happened???

I wonder if Ann got it on with Imogene Cocka when she guest starred on BB.

I'm kind of surprised by the bachelors they picked for her. I bet that if a famous man in his 40s or 50s was playing the game, the show would have picked pretty 20-something women to be the contestants. But for Ann B. Davis, it looks like the producers went down to the local bar 1 hour before taping started, and picked up the first three schlubs who were willing to ride over to the studio with them for $50.

Richard chose his sister for the date. And the rest is history.
