In this article on watching The Exorcist, Kathy Shaidle has the best description of the Brady Decade that these eyes have yet beheld:
...a decade-long, morning-after mourning of the innocence it had wasted the entire Sixties trying frantically to lose.
Maybe it was because my father took the air-conditioning out of our South Florida home during that decade, but for me the main sensation I get when I think of the years of Earth Tones, Leif Garrett, and Dodge Darts is a greasy, sweaty feeling.

I can't even wrap my mind around that concept.
Posted by: McGehee at October 1, 2003 at 12:08 PMUm, "Brady decade"? "Loss of innocence"?
Are we talking about the same seventies that gave us Linda Lovelace, Studio 54, and disco (only one of which was a worthwhile addition to pop culture)?
