Chrysler B engine

The Chrysler B and RB engines are a series of big-block V8 gasoline engines introduced in 1958 to replace the Chrysler FirePower (first generation Hemi) engines. The B and RB engines are often referred to as "wedge" engines because they use wedge-shaped combustion chambers; this differentiates them from Chrysler's 426 Hemi big block engines that are typically referred to as "Hemi" or "426 Hemi" due to their hemispherical shaped combustion chambers. The corporation had been seeking a smaller and lighter replacement for its FirePower engines, in part because new styling dictates meant moving the engine forward in the chassis which negatively affected weight distribution.

Design
Design features of the B and RB engines include 17 capscrews per cylinder head, a cylinder block that extends 3 in below the crankshaft centerline, an intake manifold not exposed to crankcase oil on the underside, stamped-steel shaft-mounted rocker arms (race versions used forged steel rockers), and a front-mounted external oil pump driven by the camshaft. In order to provide a lower hood and center of gravity, the engine to be mounted lower than before. Apart from changing the engine dimensions and engine mount position, this also entailed reconsidering the distributor drive and oil pump locations. The oil pump could not be allowed to extend below the crank throw to avoid interfering with the steering linkage. The engineers moved the distributor to the front of the engine, at a 45-degree angle, which cleared the heater while allowing the oil pump to be located in front of the block - above the bottom of the crank's throw, clearing the steering linkage.

The 'B' series wedge engine was introduced in 1958 with 350 cuin and 361 cuin versions. The 361 would continue in production until the end of the series, albeit only for truck installation. The RB ("raised B") arrived one year after the launch of the B series engines, in 383 cuin and 413 cuin displacements. Unlike the previous B-engines, which had a 3+3/8 inch stroke, the RB engines had a 3+3/4 inch stroke.

For 1960, a "ram induction" system increased the 413's torque up to 495 lbft on the Chrysler 300F versions.

The last 'B-RB' wedge-headed engine was produced in August 1978, ending the era of Chrysler "big-block" engines.

B engines
All Low Block B-series engines have a 3+3/8 inch stroke, a 9.98 inch deck height and 6.358 inch connecting rods, resulting in a 1.88:1 rod ratio.

350
The 349.978 cuin B engine was, along with the 361, the first production B engine, first available in 1958. It had a bore of 4+1/16 in. The 350 is classified as a big-block engine. All parts except for the pistons are fully compatible with the 361.

Vehicles using the B 350:

 * 1958 DeSoto Firesweep
 * 1958 Dodge Coronet
 * 1958 Plymouth Fury

361
The 361 cu in B engine also introduced in 1958 was essentially the same as the 350 except with a larger 4+1/8 in bore, for an actual displacement of 360.83 cuin. In 1962, the Dodge Polara 500 came standard with a 305 bhp version of the 361 that had a four-barrel carburetor, dual-point distributor, and dual exhausts. Plymouth called their versions of the early B engine the Commando, variants of which included the Golden Commando and Sonoramic Commando. It produced 305 bhp. DeSoto's B engine was named Turboflash and produced 295 bhp. The Dodge standard version was a 2-barrel with 295 bhp called the Super Red Ram with an optional variant that was called the D500 and produced 320 bhp.

The 361 would last until the end of the series, albeit for trucks only. In its early years, the 305-horsepower 361 was optional on many vehicles, and standard on, among others, the Dodge 880. The 361 had a fuel-injected version in 1958 only. Very few of the fuel-injected B engines were made and only a handful remain, since most were brought back to the dealer to be fitted with carburetors.

383
The 383 cu in B engine—not to be confused with the RB version—was essentially a larger bore version of the 350 and 361, using a 4.25 in bore for a 383.03 cuin displacement. This venerable engine was introduced in 1959. Dodge's version, the D500, had a cross-ram induction manifold and dual four-barrel carburetors as options. In some Dodge applications, this engine was labeled as the Magnum, while the Plymouth version was called the Golden Commando. Both came with a dual point distributor in high-performance versions.

The 383 became the standard model Mopar performance engine for the next decade. The big bore allowed for larger, 2.08 inch, intake valves, and the relatively short stroke helped it to be a free-revving and free-breathing engine.

Producing a maximum of 330 hp (gross) and 460 lbft of torque for the 1960 model year, the 383 beat the 392 Hemi that had reached 435 lbft. The 1960 383 engines featured the same basic ram induction system as the Chrysler 300F's 413 RB engines (named Sonoramic Commando when sold in Plymouth form). The later 383 Magnum (starting in 1968) used the 440 Magnum heads, camshaft, and exhaust manifolds. This engine was advertised at 335 hp.

400
The 400 cuin B engine was introduced in 1972 to replace the venerable 383, and were power-rated via the net (installed) method. Chrysler increased the bore size of the 383 to create the 400. Its bore of 4.342 in was the largest used in any production Chrysler V8 at the date of its introduction. All parts except for the pistons were interchangeable between the 383 and 400.

Crankshafts were made of cast iron. Three versions of this engine were available: a two-barrel/single-exhaust version producing 170 hp at 4,400 rpm and 305 lbft of torque at 2,400 rpm, a four-barrel/single-exhaust version producing 205 hp at 4,400 rpm, and a high-performance four-barrel/dual-exhaust version rated at 260 hp at 4,800 rpm and 410 lbft of torque at 3,200 rpm. All three versions used the same 8.2:1 compression ratio. The 400 was used in car, truck, and motorhome chassis. Horsepower and torque ratings gradually declined through the years because of the addition of more federally mandated emissions controls, until all Chrysler passenger vehicle big-block production ceased in 1978. For its last year of production, it only produced 190 hp (although a heavy-duty version was also available).

Due to its large factory bore size, short (compared to RB engines) deck height, and bottom end strength that is greater than any other production B or RB engine due to extra material added around the main bearing caps, 400 B engine blocks have become a popular choice for high-performance engine build-ups.

RB engines
The RB engines, produced from 1959 to 1979, are raised-block (taller) versions of the B engines. All RB engines have a 3+3/4 in stroke, with the bore being the defining factor in engine size. All RB wedge engines share a deck height of 10.725 in, and were fitted with 6.768 in long connecting rods, resulting in a 1.80:1 rod ratio. Bore center distance is 4.8 in. All RBs are oversquare.

383
Not to be confused with the 383 B engine, the 383 RB had a 4+1/32 in bore combined with the long stroke of 3+3/4 in, for a displacement of 382.905 cuin. It was only available in 1959 and 1960 on the U.S.-built Chrysler Windsors and Saratogas; one of Trenton Engine's lines had been converted to the new RB engine (to make the 413), and demand for the 383 B engine was too high for the remaining line. The solution was to create a 383 RB to fill the gap until the plant figured out how to quickly switch from one block to the other.

413
The 413 cuin RB was used from 1959 to 1965 in cars. It was also used in medium and heavy trucks including truck-tractors such as the C-1000, up until 1979. It has a bore of 4.1875 inches. During that period, it powered almost all Chrysler New Yorker and all Imperial models, and was also available on the lesser Chryslers, Dodge Polara, Dodge Monaco, and Plymouth Fury as an alternative to the B-block 383 and the A-block 318. It was also fitted to some European cars such as the later Facel Vega Facel II.

In the 1959 Chrysler 300E, the 413 wedge was fitted with inline dual four-barrel carburetors; it was factory-rated at 380 bhp at 5,000 rpm and 525 lbft at 3,600 rpm. In 1960, a long-tube ram induction system was made standard on the Chrysler 300. It continued as standard on the 1961 300-G, and remained on the option sheets for Chrysler 300s through 1964. In 1962, a special version known as the "Max Wedge" was made available for drag racing and street use; this version produced 420 bhp at 5,000 rpm.

426 Wedge
Not to be confused with the 426 Hemi, the 426 cuin RB was a wedge-head RB block with a 4.25 in bore. The 426 Wedge served as Chrysler's main performance engine until the introduction of the 426 Hemi. It was initially offered as the "non-catalogued" option S42 in Chryslers (the number of such produced is uncertain), offered with 373 or via a single 4-barrel carburetor (11.0:1 or 12.0:1 compression ratio, respectively), or 413 or via ram-inducted dual four-barrel carburetors (with the same compression ratios). For 1963, horsepower ratings would slightly increase (see below), and it became optional in B-bodied Dodges and Plymouths. After 1963, it would be used only in Dodges and Plymouths.

The Max Wedge was a race-only version of the 426 Wedge engine offered from the factory. Known as the Super Stock Plymouth and Ramcharger Dodge, the Max Wedge featured high-flow cylinder heads developed through state-of-the-art (at the time) airflow testing. They had 1+7/8 in exhaust valves, which required the cylinder bores to be notched for clearance. The blocks were a special severe-duty casting with larger oil-feed passages than other RB engines, and the blocks were stress-relieved by the factory. Induction came by means of a cross-ram intake manifold tuned for peak power above 4000 rpm and two Carter AFB-3447SA 4-barrel carburetors. The Max Wedge also included high-flow cast-iron exhaust manifolds that, on the later versions, resembled steel tube headers. The Max Wedge was factory rated at 415 or (depending on compression), and 480 lbft at 4400 rpm.

Before the end of the 1963 model year, Chrysler introduced the Stage II Max Wedge with improved combustion chamber design and an improved camshaft. The last performance year for the Max Wedge came in 1964 with the Stage III. The factory-advertised power rating never changed despite the Stage II and III improvements.

A 426 Street Wedge block was also available in 1964 and 1965. It bears little relation to the Max Wedge except for basic architecture and dimensions. The Street Wedge was available only in B-body cars (Plymouth and Dodge) and light-duty Dodge D Series trucks. It was an increased-bore version of the standard New Yorker 413 single 4-barrel engine.

440

The 440 cuin RB was produced from 1965 until 1978, making it the last version of the Chrysler RB block. It had a light wall construction, precision cast-iron block, with iron heads and a bore of 4.32 in, for an overall displacement of 440 CID.

From 1967 to 1971, the high-performance version was rated at 375 bhp (370 bhp in 1971) at 4,600 rpm and 480 lbft at 3,200 rpm of torque with a single 4-barrel carburetor, and from 1969 to 1971, the highest-output version had an intake setup with 3×2-barrel Holley carburetors ("440 Six Pack" for Dodge, "440 6-BBL" for Plymouth) producing 390 bhp at 4,700 rpm (385 bhp in 1971) and 490 lbft at 3,200 rpm of torque.

In 1972, changes were made to the horsepower ratings of vehicle engines from gross (engine only, without air cleaner, exhaust system, alternator, or other power-consuming components) to net (with alternator, air cleaner, mufflers, and other vehicle equipment installed). The new rating system produced lower, more realistic numbers for any given engine. At the same time, emissions regulations were demanding cleaner exhaust. Engines including the 440 were made with reduced compression, modified cam timing, and other tuning measures to comply with the newly tightened emissions regulations. The 1972 440 produced 335 bhp (gross) at 4400 rpm; the new net rating was 225 hp—which very closely coincided with period German DIN ratings and TÜV measurements.

The high-output 440 (4-barrel/mild cam/dual exhausts) was marketed as the Magnum in Dodges, the Super Commando in Plymouths, and the TNT in Chryslers. From 1972 to 1974, the engine (detuned to run on unleaded gasoline) was rated at 280 hp net, and dropped in horsepower each year until 1978, when it was rated at 255 hp (in police specification) and limited to Chrysler New Yorkers, Chrysler Newports, Dodge Monaco Police Pursuits, and Plymouth Fury Police Pursuits. It was also available in marine and heavy-duty commercial applications until that year.

Adam Aircraft Industries

Adam Aircraft Industries (AAI) was an aircraft manufacturer founded by George F. Adam Jr and John C. Knudsen in 1998. The company was located at Centennial Airport in the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area of Colorado, United States.

The company certified and produced the inline piston twin-engined Adam A500, while the turbofan-powered Adam A700 AdamJet was under development. The A700 was intended to be an entrant into the niche of Very Light Jets (VLJs), but its development was ceased before production was achieved.

One of the first Adam A500s manufactured, A500 s/n 0002, was featured in the 2006 Michael Mann film Miami Vice.

In conjunction with partners, the company had won a major contract from Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the development of a next-generation rotorcraft, indicating possible longer-term product development potential. However, the firm ceased operations on 11 February 2008, and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on 15 February 2008.

In April 2008, the assets of the former company were purchased from bankruptcy by AAI Acquisition Inc. AAI failed to restart Adam Aircraft and in April 2009 Adam Aircraft finally ceased operations and laid off all its staff.

In April 2011 Triton Aerospace announced that they had acquired the company's assets.

Financial problems and cessation of operations
In January 2008 it was announced that Adam Aircraft was having problems raising the capital required to complete certification flight testing of the A700 jet and to enter full production of the A500 piston aircraft. As a result, the company closed its Ogden, Utah plant and laid off 300 workers.

Adam Aircraft President Duncan Koerbel was quoted as saying:

"'To provide for our future growth, we must be strategic in our focus by managing current cash expenditures to ensure adequate time to secure financing for the long term. We're off to a good start in this effort with assistance from our partner, Citibank, but we need to be able to provide them with sufficient time working with potential investors to secure long term financing.'"

The company indicated that it needed to raise between USD$75 and $150 million to produce the A500 and complete certification of the A700.

In a 22 January 2008 letter to shareholders, company CEO John Wolf indicated that the company would face "liquidation" if it could not raise an additional USD$25M in the seven days that remained before the end of that month, because the company had loans due and could not pay them without the additional funds.

On 11 February 2008 the company ceased operations, issuing a short news release that it was "due to the inability of the company to come to terms with their lender for funding necessary to maintain business operations."

On 14 February 2008 it was reported that employees of the company were optimistic that operations would be able to continue under new financing. At the same time aviation anonymous industry leaders interviewed by the aviation press expressed opinions that the company would not be saved and that there would be no choice but to have it liquidated. This prediction turned out correct, as the company filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 on 15 February 2008

The government of the City of Pueblo, Colorado demanded that USD$2M in financial incentives paid to firm be returned. As part of its agreement with the city, Adam Aircraft had agreed to create 448 jobs, but had only created 90 jobs, almost all eliminated in the round of lay-offs in January, preceding closure. The city filed liens against Adam Aircraft's physical equipment to recover the money owed.

AAI Acquisition
On April 11, 2008, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado approved the sale of the company for $10 million to AAI Acquisition Inc an entity jointly controlled by Russian firms Industrial Investors and Kaskol. Industrial Investors is a private equity management company with $3 billion in assets, notably Far East Shipping Company. According to their statement, former Colorado Governor Bill Owens is a director of one of its companies. At the time of purchase, AAI VP Dmitry Shokhin said: "We plan to revive Adam Aircraft's operations, including continuing the process of certification for the A700 jet".

Industrial Investments had  reportedly ordered 75 A700s prior to Adam Aircraft's bankruptcy, and restarted work on the A700 with 60 employees back at work by May 2008.

According to a July 2008 statement by Sergey Generalov, CEO and owner of Industrial Investors, more than ten other companies had bid for the assets of bankrupt AAI. prior to the tender the company made a deal with 50 Adams engineers, persuading them to stay with AAI, thus securing the winning bid. In addition to the US$10 million purchase price, Generalov expected to invest another US$150 million before the project would generate any return.

The new company confirmed at AirVenture 2008 that they would proceed with certification of the A700 and had indicated an initial forecast completion date in the first quarter of 2010. The company also confirmed that they would not produce the A500 for the foreseeable future, due to the global drop in demand for piston-engined aircraft

Citing the economic crisis of 2008 AAI Acquisition President and CEO Jack Braly announced on 28 October 2008 that A700 "Flight test and other development activity have been suspended". Braly indicated that the company's investment team and board of directors were reviewing the economic and market conditions and would decide on a new schedule for certifying the A700.

The company laid off 200 employees in October 2008, leaving 30 engineering staff at work.

In January 2009 the company announced it was seeking a new strategic partner to help it expand into new areas of business: sub-contract engineering and manufacturing for the aerospace and custom automotive industry, projects that could make use of the company's expertise in composite design and manufacturing. The company said that it had not abandoned the A700 jet project. Company Vice President of Business Development Steve Patrick said: "Based on our initial efforts, we are building a viable business base for our engineering solutions and services while retaining the option to re-launch the A700 business jet."

In April 2009, unable to find non-aerospace work for its facilities, new partners and out of operating capital, AAI Acquisition closed Adam Aircraft and laid off the last of its staff.

Triton America
In July 2009, real estate developer Thomas Hsueh purchased the remaining tooling, parts, and intellectual property of Adam Aircraft from the Russian investors. Doing business as Triton America LLC, in Anacortes, Washington, his company planned to redesign the A500 and A700, and return the aircraft to production at the Port of Skagit County, Skagit County, Washington.

In April 2011 Triton Aerospace of Skagit Regional Airport in Burlington, Washington announced that they had acquired the assets of Adam Aircraft. The company announced that it intended to return the A500 to production after re-engineering it to lose 1000 lb of empty weight and recertifying it. The aircraft will also be changed to a turboprop, with twin-engined and rear-engined-only versions. Two new prototypes were expected in 2013 with re-certification to follow. The company owner, Thomas Hsueh, indicated that for now production is planned for the US, but costs may require moving the assembly line to China, or even a lower cost country, such as Mexico. Triton indicated that they have no plans to produce the A700 jet.

Grigory Shelikhov

Grigory Ivanovich Shelikhov (Григорий Иванович Шелихов in Russian) (1747, Rylsk, Belgorod Governorate – July 20, 1795 (July 31, 1795 New Style)) was a Russian seafarer, merchant, and fur trader who established a permanent settlement in Alaska.

Career
Starting in 1775, Shelikhov organized voyages of merchant ships to the Kuril Islands and the Aleutian Islands, in what is now Alaska, for fur trading. In 1783–1786, he led an expedition to the coastal shores of the mainland, where they founded the first permanent Russian settlements in North America. Shelikhov's voyage was done under the auspices of his Shelikhov-Golikov Company, the other owner of which was Ivan Larionovich Golikov. This company was the predecessor of the Russian-American Company, which was founded in 1799.

In April 1784, Shelikhov arrived in what he named as Three Saints Bay on Kodiak Island with two ships, the Three Hierarchs, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom and the St. Simon. The indigenous Koniaga, an Alutiiq nation of Alaska Natives, defended themselves from the Russian party. In what became known as the Awa'uq Massacre, Shelikhov and his armed forces, who had guns and cannons, killed hundreds of the Alutiiq, including women and children. They also took hundreds of hostages, many of them children, to force submission by other Alaska Natives. Having established his authority on Kodiak Island, Shelikhov founded the first permanent Russian settlement in Alaska along the island's Three Saints Bay. (Unalaska had been established long before, but it was not considered the permanent base for Russians until Shelikhov's time.)

In 1790, Shelikhov, having returned to Russia, hired Alexandr Baranov to manage his fur trading enterprise in Russian America.

A gulf in the Sea of Okhotsk, a strait between Alaska and Kodiak Island, a bay on Kruzof Island (near Sitka, Alaska), and a town in Irkutsk Oblast in Russia bear Shelikhov's name. Shelekhov travelled via Shelikhov Bay in the Sea of Okhotsk in December 1786-January 1787, after he had been left behind at Bol’shereck in Kamchatka as the winds tore the Three Hierarchs from her anchors and carried her out to sea. There is a statue of Shelikhov in his native Rylsk.

Family
His father was Ivan Shelikhov. Ivan had a brother, Andrei, who had at least two children: Semen Andreevich Shelikhov and Sidor Andreevich Shelikhov.

Grigory had two siblings: a sister, Agrofena Ivanova Shelikhova, and a younger brother, Vasilii Ivanovich Shelikhov, who went to Siberia with Grigory to assist with the business.

In 1775 Shelikhov married Natalia Alexeyevna Kozhevina, the daughter of a prominent clan of Okhotsk navigators and mapmakers and their wives. At his death he had five surviving daughters and one son.

Grigory and Natalia had the following children: His 14-year-old daughter Anna married Nikolai Rezanov in January 1795. She died in childbirth seven years later, but had at least one surviving daughter, Olga Nikolaevna Rezanova, who married Kharkiv Governor-General Sergey Aleksandrovich Kokoshkin.

Sherwood Schwartz

Sherwood Charles Schwartz (November 14, 1916 – July 12, 2011) was an American television screenwriter and producer. He worked on radio shows in the 1940s, but he now is best known for creating the 1960s television series Gilligan's Island on CBS and The Brady Bunch on ABC. On March 7, 2008, Schwartz, at the time still active in his 90s, was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That same year, Schwartz was also inducted into the Television Hall of Fame.

Early life
Schwartz was born in Passaic, New Jersey, to a Jewish family. His parents were Herman and Rose Schwartz. He was a younger brother of writer Al Schwartz. His younger brother, Elroy Schwartz (1923–2013), a comedy writer, became a principal screenwriter for Gilligan's Island and other series. Sherwood Schwartz is the uncle of Douglas Schwartz (who created the Baywatch TV series), Bruce Schwartz and Judithe Randall.

Career
Schwartz had hoped to become a doctor, but found that he was unable to be admitted to medical school at that time, due to a quota limiting the number of Jewish students.

He went on to write for Ozzie Nelson's The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and other radio shows. Schwartz served in the United States Army for over four years. While serving, he was a writer on the Armed Forces Radio Network before he got his break in television. From 1956 to 1962, Schwartz was head writer for The Red Skelton Show, for which he won an Emmy Award in 1961. He went on to create and produce Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch. He wrote the theme song for three of his shows: Gilligan's Island (co-wrote), It's About Time, and The Brady Bunch.

Syndication turned his two major successes into TV institutions with cultural relevance. He made them icons and as a result became a television icon himself.

TV appearances
During the late 1990s and the 2000s, he made many appearances on TV talking about his series, on shows such as the CBS Evening News, 20/20, TV Land's Top Ten and A&E's Biography. He also took part in a "Creators" marathon on Nick at Nite in the late 1990s. He was also a guest at the 2004 TV Land Awards.

In 1988, Schwartz appeared on The Late Show with Ross Shafer for a Gilligan's Island reunion, along with all seven castaways from Gilligan's Island. This was the last time they were all together on television. He also appeared as himself in a 1995 episode of Roseanne titled "Sherwood Schwartz, A Loving Tribute", which also featured the four surviving "Gilligan's Island" cast members.

Personal life
On December 21, 1941, Sherwood Schwartz married Mildred Seidman, and together they had four children: Donald Schwartz, who became an ophthalmologist; Lloyd J. Schwartz, who worked with his father in show business as a writer and producer in his own right; Ross Schwartz, who became an attorney; and Hope Juber, a writer and producer. His granddaughter is singer-songwriter Ilsey Juber, the daughter of Hope and guitarist Laurence Juber, the former lead guitarist for the band Wings.

Sherwood Schwartz's play, Rockers, a comedy-drama, had a production at Theatre West in honor of his 90th birthday.

Death
On July 12, 2011, Sherwood Schwartz died of natural causes in his sleep.

Portrayals
Schwartz was portrayed by Aaron Lustig in the TV movie Surviving Gilligan's Island and by Michael Tucker in Growing Up Brady.

Reunion movies
It is probably unfair to describe the reunion movies as failures, since they brough in high ratings. It is fair to characterize the attempts at sequel and spinoff series as failures, since none were renewed as they would have been had their ratings been high enough. Apparently people like their sequels in small doses, at least with reagards to The Brady Bunch. No matter -- a generation of now middle-aged schoolboys grew up desiring "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!"

Episode every day?
The article reads, "Since its first show date, an episode of the show has been on TV somewhere in the world every single day." It this possible? During the six days that followed the pilot, surely there couldn't have been that same pilot syndicated every single day. Doesn't this comment mean that the show has been on TV every day somewhere in the world ever since it began syndication? I'm no expert on the Brady Bunch air dates, but the wording as it is now seems very hard to believe. — Eje211 03:03, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I changed it. Mike H 04:44, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

 * How is it that an "encyclopedia" can make claims such as, “Since its first airing in syndication in September 1975, an episode of the show has been broadcast somewhere in the United States and abroad every single day of every single year through at least 2007,” and then state that a citation is needed. Of course a citation is needed – or such a statement needs to be removed. How is Wikipedia to be taken seriously when flimsy or no substantiation is provided for such sweeping claims?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.79.62.16 (talk) 15:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Carol
It says Carol's husband's circumstances were never explained...I'm pretty sure Carol's husband died. I'll watch the DVDs again but I'm quite certain of it...they parodied it on the '90s movies. Mike H 09:01, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

On the original series, Carol's first husband was never mentioned. The girls' did not refer to their birth father once. Sherwood Schwartz has stated many times, that Carol was divorced, but ABC frowned on that, so he decidedly left it ambiguous, by never having him referred to at all!Jude86 16:07, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * She was widowed. Prenigmamann (talk) 14:42, 31 July 2010 (UTC)Prenigmamann

 * No, although dialog in the pilot meant she must have been either widowed or divorced, the reason she was single with three daughters was never put forth in any way, other than she had been most unhappy about whatever had happened. Meanwhile, in a scene having to do with Bobby and a snap of his mum, it was very strongly hinted that Mike's first wife had died. Throughout the whole run of the series, the other parents were never brought up again in any way. Gwen Gale (talk) 14:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Taylor or Tyler for Carol's last name ? (74.174.59.10 (talk) 17:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC))
 * Carol's maiden name is Tyler. It is unknown what happened to Carol's first husband, Mr. Martin.  Schwartz wanted them to be divorced, but ABC did not allow that to be mentioned, and ABC said she was widowed.  There are two conflicting decisions between Schwartz and ABC about what happened to Mr. Martin.  It is unknown what happened to him.  The movies that parodied the series do not reflect the story of the actual series.  108.0.244.168 (talk) 08:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Simpsons References
Not appropriate in this article... it takes up a third of the article, belongs in a Simpsons page --Cshay 19:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

The Simpsons has referenced The Brady Bunch and its sequels in several episodes, including:

 * The couch gag in the eighth-season episodes "Home Sweet Home-Diddily-Dum-Doodily" and "Lisa the Iconoclast". The screen is divided into nine panels (a la the opening credits); Lisa, Marge and Grampa are in the top panels; Maggie, the couch and Bart in the middle; and Snowball II, Homer and Santa's Little Helper in the bottom row. Near the end of the gag, everyone (except Grampa) run out of their frames and onto the couch.
 * In the eighth-season episode, "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase" (which detailed three "pilots" based on The Simpsons), the final skit has the Simpsons starring in a variety show "as themselves." The skit even includes a teen-aged actress "replacing" Lisa (who found the concept so ridiculous she declined to participate, much like how Geri Reischl stepped into the role of Jan when Eve Plumb was a no-show).
 * In "Eight Misbehavin', Lisa remarks about being "wildly popular", only to become a superegotistical freak who upsets her classmates, much like Jan in "Miss Popularity."
 * In the "Last Tap Dance in Springfield" episode, Lisa is a marginally talented dancer who is not invited to participate in a much-anticipated recital, much in the same manner as the clumsy Jan in "Try, Try Again."
 * In the "Treehouse of Horror XI" segment titled "Scary Dreams Can Come True" (a "Hansel and Gretel" parody), the witch says she has a boyfriend. When Bart asks for a name, the witch declares hastily, "George ... Cauldron," much how Jan made up imaginary boyfriend "George Glass."
 * Much of the first segment of "The Regina Monologues" is inspired by the Brady episode "The Treasure of Sierra Avenue." Bart plans to spend a $1,000 bill he found (and Mr. Burns had lost, only for Marge to make Bart advertise for its owner; Mr. Burns arrives later to claim his cash, but refuses to pay a reward. In the Brady version, the boys had found a wallet loaded with $1,100 in a vacant lot, are made to advertise for its owner, and turn it over to its rightful owner (who offers a reward, unlike the selfish Burns).

 * Great. Put it on the Simpsons page. Or, if you must, a summary of it in a Trivia section here. That detail just isn't relevant to this article. Moncrief 19:24, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Production info
It might be good to state that the show was a single-camera 35mm film production at Paramount Studios (as opposed to three-camera on video tape). I'd add it but I'm not sure which section would be appropriate. It would be nice if this kind of info had a category in the standard info box as seen on the top right of the Brady Bunch entry.

Cut out Charicter
I rember a long time ago, on Nick at Night, they said that thare was original another brady chils, a red headed girl, she was bad behaved,and was recorded in many of the first shows, but was cut out, anyone have any information?

 * nvm, I found this:

 * Phoebe Brady was a promotional gimmick that Nickelodeon created in 1998 when the Brady Bunch began airing on Nickelodeon. Phoebe was suspose to represent an evil 4th sister who whenever something bad happened on the show, she was responsbile. The premise of the promotion was that when the show went into reruns Phoebe was cut from the show because no one wanted to see a bad Brady. This whole concept which included interviews with original cast members was purely false.

 * No, I remember episodes with her in it. It's the Mandela Effect again /s. 75.148.220.25 (talk) 17:35, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

I, too was interested in this "mystery" Brady. What a stupid thing for Nickelodeon to make up random crap like that. stupids.
 * For anyone who is tempted to add it into the main article — please don't. That's all Phoebe was — a promotional gimmick that in the first place was poorly conceived, she was a brat in the second place and most importantly (from a Wiki standpoint) is not notable beyond that. RIP, Phoebe! Briguy52748 21:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)]]
 * I disagree. It was a pretty major marketing thing. Just because it's fake, that doesn't mean we can't put it in the article if we acknowledge it as such. I mean, we have an entire article on Bigfoot. --Agent Aquamarine 13:49, 8 January 2007

 * Nick at Nite ran a similar gag when The Cosby Show first began running on that network, naming the goldfish flushed down in the second episode "Lamont" (and even going so far as to make the ad in a style similar to The E! True Hollywood Story. WAVY 10 15:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

A likely inappropriate rumor to include but it was significant in my memory
Does anyone have any links or recollection to a very common rumor that circulated around the late 70s that Susan Olsen had gotten heavily into drugs and other vices and overdosed or committed suicide? I recall that it was a rumor spread deliberately in the wake of the overdose death of Anissa Jones, a troubled child actress whose Family Affair show had come on the air and went off the air slightly before the Brady Bunch. Anissa died of a drug overdose under suspicious circumstances in 1976, and her death touched many child stars, including the cast of the Brady Bunch (Eve Plumb, in particular, who appeared on Family Affair at one point, I recall). The supposed prosocial idea behind the rumor was that it was a way to flag people who didn't care or thought it would be fine if what they thought of as a dysfunctional youngest child (Cindy Brady) got heavily into drugs or whatever and died, and then to do something to help those flagged as so dysfunctional. It also jives with the interest in prosocial TV shows, "Afterschool Specials", and in particular Eve Plumb's performance and popular reaction to "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway", and similar psychological TV dramas from the time, like Linda Blair in "Sarah T.: Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic" and Dick van Dyke in "The Morning After". The story of Anissa Jones is well-known today in part due to it's story being told on websites like Morbidly Hollywood, but as I recall the rumor about Susan Olsen and the tie-in to looking for dysfunctional kids was very well-known as well at the time, late 70s, very early 80s. -- Allison
 * I recall the rumour repeated frequently in the late 1970s in Melbourne, Australia, was that The Brady Bunch only ended when actor Susan Olsen was killed in a car accident, and the cast and makers of the show were too traumatised to continue it without her. I suspect it was spawned by people misremembering and conflating the true story of the death of Anissa Jones - whose Family Affair character I believe served as the model for Cindy Brady's character, wardrobe and hairstyle. Perhaps also us Australian children were at a loss to explain how such a popular and perennial show could have been cancelled when so many us of were avidly watching it after school every day. I do not think the Olsen rumour was conceived deliberately in the wake of Jones' death in a knowing or malicious manner but was like many urban legends where the storytellers actually believe the tale.

Trivia being removed

But given the recent push to cut trivia from articles, I've decided to remove the information (save for info on the house outside, which is interesting) from the article.

The Brady Braves

 * Mike - big Eagle of Large Nest
 * Carol - Yellow Flower of Many Petals
 * Greg - Stalking Wolf
 * Marcia - Willow Dancing in Wind
 * Peter - offered "Middle Buffalo" and "Sleeping Lizard" but Peter didn't like either; the chief was never shown getting back to him
 * Jan - Dove of Morning Light
 * Bobby - Little Bear Who Loses Way
 * Cindy - Wandering Blossom
 * Alice - Squaw in Waiting

 * Or perhaps the Partridges, who lived in San Pueblo, a fictional town located in the Bay Area near San Francisco.
 * They took pains to never name the city. In the episode where Alice is secretly sending Jan gifts because Jan is the middle child, we see the mailing envelope to one of the gifts Jan receives. The city is "City" on the envelope. As explained in the show, that meant it was local mail. Apparently, at the time, if you used "City" as your city on your envelope, it stayed in the same city. I've never heard of that before, but that's what they did in the show. BillFromDDTDigest (talk) 01:40, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Removal of fictional famous visitors?
I must have missed this, but at some point the fictional famous characters were removed from the "Celebrity Guests" sectioning detailing famous "real and fictional" people that visited the Bradys. Two notable ones that were removed were "Dear Libby" and the son (or was it grandson) of a man killed by Jesse James.

I don't really have a big dog in the fight either way on this one. If I had a preference, I would say that we do include the fictional famous people because, at the moment anyway, the section is not about "guest stars appearing as themselves"...the section is really noting the improbability of a supposedly ordinary family meeting that many famous people in only five years. But, I don't feel that strongly. However, if we are going to leave out the fictional characters, we should change the entire section to be a section on "Guest Stars appearing as themselves". --PoughkeepsieNative (talk) 12:27, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Deleted Scene worth including?
I'm curious if this deleted scene is worth including in the article. The logic side of my brain says "no", but the emotional side says "yes" because this is just so out of context with the rest of the show.

I remembered seeing this as a kid, yet it apparently disappeared in syndication because I haven't seen it since I was very young. When you really think about it, the scene was so wrong on so many levels. I am just shocked that a show that wouldn't mention divorce would have ever put this scene on the air.

Deleted Brady Bunch scene

--PoughkeepsieNative (talk) 00:01, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

 * It's not a "deleted" scene as such. I've read somewhere that the scene has indeed shown up in syndicated local broadcasts through the years but was cut now and then, as were other pickup scenes in many episodes, to make room for more local commercials. This can go in the article if it's reliably sourced. It's on the DVD, by the way. Gwen Gale (talk) 08:19, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I was a Brady Bunch fanatic as a kid. I knew the original episodes so well, each time I saw one of the later syndicated edits, I'd try to remember what scene was missing.

Article structure
I rearranged the structure of the article based on article structures from Category:FA-Class television articles without removing content. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:25, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Sequence
I'm sort of confused as to why this article is structured the way it is. Why do we have the sections on the location of the house and Reed vs the producers before we even get the show summary? I understand that chronologically, the house may have been selected as part of the planning process, but it goes into too much minutia early in the article (LAPD badges noticed in the movie, etc. ). Its giving sidebars before the important stuff. This stuff would be better suited later in the article.68.105.38.61 (talk) 00:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Robert Reed vs, the producers
Stop changing the description of Robert Reed's discontent. Unless someone can find otherwise, there is nothing in the sources that say he became "increasingly jaded" or was concerned with typecasting. He just thought the writing was sophomoric, and according to the Barry Williams book, he felt that way from the pilot episode to the last episode. There is no indication that he was jaded, let alone increasingly so.  -Jord gette  [talk]  23:47, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

"The Honeymoon" and "Greg Gets Grounded"
I noticed the article mentions that these two episoded do not have an epilogue after the 9 square pictures of the cast members cover the screen, but some claim that they remember these two epilogues got lost when the show became syndicated and networks made their own edits. Does anyone know if these claims are true? 108.0.244.168 (talk) 05:10, 17 June 2013 (UTC) The alleged epilogue in the pilot, "The Honeymoon", supposedly has everyone in their hotel room and Mike or Carol saying something like "the honeymoon wasn't the same without you". The one that supposedly is in "Greg Gets Grounded" has Peter and Bobby playing around with their frogs after the contest ended. Do these closing scenes exist, or did people making these claims not remember correctly? 108.0.244.168 (talk) 19:13, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Casting of child actors
I saw an interview on TV many years ago, with one of the executives (possibly Sherwood Schwartz); it was part of a documentary of The Brady Bunch, I believe. The executive stated that they cast two groups of children: one consisted of blonde girls and brunette boys; the other consisted of blonde boys and brunette girls. From these two groups, the final set of children would be selected based on the subsequent casting of the parental roles. Since Carol Brady (Florence Henderson) was blonde and Mike Brady (Robert Reed) was brunette, the producers ultimately cast the corresponding set of six child actors. Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? In the documentary, they briefly showed a still photo of the "alternate" child actors (three blonde boys and three brunette girls). It was quite jarring to see that photo, after years of watching the six children who eventually did get cast! (See here: HISTORY OF THE BRADY BUNCH.) Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:55, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Brady Bunch references I know
I know several references to the Brady Bunch:

 * In the Nickelodeon show T.U.F.F. Puppy, an episode featured a spoof of the theme song, but about the agents from TUFF and DOOM living together.
 * In another Nickelodeon show, Fanboy and Chum Chum, an episode was named "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha." This is a reference to Jan's famous line, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia." The names of Marsha and Marcia are pronounced the same way.
 * In yet another Nickelodeon show, The Fairly OddParents, Timmy Turner had his mother replaced with Carol Brady when he realized he was the subject of a reality show called "Timmy TV." Cartoon versions of all the Brady Bunch main characters appeared at the end of the episode.
 * An episode of a show on the Sprout channel called Jim Henson's Pajanimals was called "Try, Try Again." This is also a Brady Bunch episode.
 * And, last but not least, in my made-up show, The Browne Boyz, one character is obsessed with a spoof of the Brady Bunch called "The Grady Gang."

The exterior of the Brady house was also used in establishing shots in an anti-smoking educational film starring Marion Ross and Tom Bosley (AKA Mr. and Mrs. C) that we were shown in junior high health class...PurpleChez (talk) 13:39, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

WP:SPLIT of The Brady Brides into its own article
A split of that portion of the article was attempted here, without any talk page discussion per WP:SPLIT, nor any attribution, required per WP:CWW. The content was moved to The Brady Brides (2017), but because of the misleading title (it aired in 1981, and there's no update that I know of that happened in 2017) and the improper split, I took it to AfD. Maybe the split question could be resolved there, but if not, it could be discussed here later. MPFitz1968 (talk) 18:58, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Brady Bunch Parody
In a episode of "Monk" Adrian Monk is devastated to find out that his favorite 1970's childhood family show "The Coopers" having a succesful surgeon with his wife and their two sons and two daugthers plus an adorable dog-in real life had terrible lives..the eldest son married an actress who played his TV sister {they divorced } while the Youngest son become a drug addict and the oldest sister became a best selling tell all book who killed a backmailer who knew her secret..that she had cheated to get a award 35 years after the show ended...after Monk was knocked out by the killer he had a dream sequence in which he played the oldest oldest son who figured out the crime..this was filmed on a recreation of the old Brady Bunch Kitchen and living room set..of The Brady Bunch....show! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.32.94 (talk) 22:26, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Entitled vs. Titled
I have been reverted twice on this page for changing "entitled" to "titled" in reference to the title of an episode. The definition of entitled is to deserve or be given something. The definition of titled is when something is given a name. For example, the article currently says 'in the first-season episode entitled "Lost Locket, Found Locket"'. This is an incorrect use of the word entitled. The episode does not deserve the title "Lost Locket, Found Locket", it has been given the name (titled) "Lost Locket, Found Locket." This is a simple check in the dictionary to verify why I have made the edits. Entitled2Titled (talk) 19:37, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * While these words have been considered synonymous, from what I've seen checking a few online sites discussing the differences between the two words, they are preferring titled over entitled when talking simply about naming something, like an episode title. They don't exactly say that it's wrong to use entitled where titled should be used, as literature from decades and centuries ago have used entitled in the context of titled. However, they do point out that entitled is about giving a right, privilege, etc. (and might include a title that is associated with said right, privilege, etc.), as opposed to just a name. With what I've read at these sites, I'm tending to agree with using titled over entitled for this situation, but I'd rather see additional opinions about this. MPFitz1968 (talk) 23:07, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * They should be "titled." It's clearer/less ambiguous, and it's and one fewer syllable/two fewer letters to have to read.  -Jord gette  [talk]  23:28, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Okay, I just finished responding to u|Entitled2Titled's post on my talk page, and then I saw that there is this discussion here. While I encourage you to read all of what I wrote there, here is the most pertinent part of what I said: "Your definition is just one of the definitions for the word. I don't know what dictionary you looked at but apparently it doesn't include all definitions. Other dictionaries not only include other definitions but list this first (which usually means that it's the most common usage of the word) including Wiktionary (an extension of WP): entitled — see also entitle." Basically, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". *Pinging u|Drmargi. --Musdan77 (talk) 02:21, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

 * I don't know why you would object to making the language in the article less ambiguous. There are (according to some) two definitions of "entitled" but only one definition of "titled."  -Jord gette  [talk]  15:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * u|Jordgette, First, I'm wondering if you read the rest of my reply to Entitled2Titled on my talk page? Anyway, how in the world is it "ambiguous"? What makes you think that? Have you heard someone say that they weren't sure what it meant? Everyone should know what it means. Entitled2Titled didn't give that as a reason for the hundreds of changes he's made in the last few weeks (most of which have been reverted by different editors). His only reason is incorrect (as he said "the definition"). Do you know what the prefix en- means? It means "to make". By taking that away is basically dumbing down the English language. --Musdan77 (talk) 02:39, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

 * You wrote, "I'm tending to agree with using titled over entitled for this situation, but I'd rather see additional opinions about this" and I'm providing an additional opinion like you asked for. Yep, I read it. It's ambiguous because it has two definitions and has the potential to confuse people. Low potential, but potential nonetheless. And, it's just shorter. Unless you can demonstrate that "titled" is not a word, I think we should go with "titled." But feel free to call a RfD on this and waste more people's time.  -Jord gette  [talk]  15:04, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I think you're replying to me (although you didn't address me), but you quoted what u|MPFitz1968 said. If you don't have evidence that there has been confusion about the word then that's not an issue. There are words that have more than two definitions and no one claims they're ambiguous. It's not up to me to "demonstrate that titled is not a word". It's up to the person(s) who want to change a word that has been there for years that another word is an improvement. Let me quote from the first link that MPFitz1968 gave: "When they are synonymous with named or called, there is no substantive difference between entitled and titled. Some people object to this use entitled, but the objection is baseless." But if you think that this discussion is a waste of time then you don't have to be a part of it. –Musdan77 (talk) 02:06, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Indeed, thanks for clearing up any confusion. Even under the premise that both words are equally clear, my opinion is that shorter is better. But my opinion is also that this debate is absurdly trivial.  -Jord gette  [talk]  02:19, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Shorter isn't always better – unless you're editing Simple English Wikipedia. And I disagree that it's "trivial", but apparently it is moot, because Entitled2Titled has not responded in the discussion – or even made any more edits – since he started this section. –Musdan77 (talk) 02:51, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Political commentary
The Premise section of the article currently states "Noticeably absent is any political commentary..." While I agree the show is largely apolitical, gender equality was a theme in several episodes, including "A Clubhouse Is Not a Home", "The Grass Is Always Greener", "The Liberation of Marcia Brady", and "The Driver's Seat". "Double Parked" also features the family campaigning against city hall to save a park. Hoof Hearted (talk) 15:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Calamagrostis

Calamagrostis (reed grass or smallweed ) is a genus of flowering plants in the grass family Poaceae, with about 260 species that occur mainly in temperate regions of the globe. Towards equatorial latitudes, species of Calamagrostis generally occur at higher elevations. These tufted perennials usually have hairless narrow leaves. The ligules are usually blunt. The inflorescence forms a panicle. Some may be reed-like.

The plants may be rhizomatous (underground stems with shoots), stoloniferous (with runners), or caespitose (growing in tufts or clumps). The bisexual spikelets have a single floret and generally they are purple or purple-brown. The spikelets are clustered into inflorescences, which usually develop in early- to mid-summer on long culms ( = stems).

Many species of Calamagrostis are morphologically similar, but they generally occur in distinct habitats, and they have unique geographical distributions. Given the subtle distinctions between many closely related taxa, there are several species complexes that could benefit from additional systematic study. Even the generic boundaries of the genus are controversial. For example, species in the genus Deyeuxia, distributed largely in the southern hemisphere are morphologically very similar to species of Calamagrostis. It may be appropriate to recognize all of these species in a single genus, but this will require detailed scientific study of DNA of species from around the world.

Some Calamagrostis can be very decorative, and are widely cultivated largely in northern temperate zones. The species Calamagrostis brachytricha and the cultivar Calamagrostis × acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' are recipients of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

The word "Calamagrostis" is derived from the Greek word kalamos (reed) and agrostis (a kind of grass).

Category:Main-belt asteroids

If possible, asteroids should always be placed into one of the numerous sub-categories, in line with the category information given in the minor-planet catalog. Used sources: Small Body Data Ferret (Nesvorný) and AstDys (Milani and Knežević).

Examples
All asteroids should be sorted using a 0-padded, 6-digit sortkey based on their numerical designation. Otherwise, their provisional designation should be used. For example:
 * Family asteroid 1270 Datura would use.
 * Family asteroid without proper category, 3156 Ellington, would use.
 * Non-family asteroid 4881 Robmackintosh would use.
 * Unnumbered asteroid 2004 BX159 (undetermined family) would simply use.
