Additional Information

The Brady Bunch was an American sitcom that aired on ABC from 1969 to 1974, depicting the challenges of the newly blended Brady family as they adjusted to living together. It is well remembered as a pop culture phenomenon, admired and playfully satirized for its wholesome depiction of American family life. The sincere story of a family striving to make it work became both a cultural reference and a subject of gentle teasing.

Cindy, the youngest Brady daughter, was known for her eavesdropping and tendency to tattle, often getting her into trouble. She was depicted as innocent and sometimes surprisingly clever, usually shown with distinctive corkscrew curls or braids and a noticeable lisp. Cindy enjoyed snooping and sharing the secrets she uncovered.

Promotional studio photos were used for press kits, bubble gum cards, lunch boxes, and collectible buttons. Each Brady child actor’s portrait was set inside a round frame and shown alongside the show’s playful, stacked logo. The soft, pastel daisy background reflects the flower-power style seen throughout early '70s Brady Bunch merchandise, which was primarily marketed to kids and preteens. The Brady Bunch originally aired on ABC from 1969 to 1974. The production company, CBS Studios, acquired the rights to the show and its syndication. Today, the franchise is owned by the modern-day Paramount Global.

Jason Lee Scott was the original Red Ranger in the early 1990s children’s television show, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The show was about a team of teenagers who were able to transform into superheroes called the Power Rangers. Many elements of the show were adapted from the popular Japanese series Super Sentai that first aired in 1975. 

Each Power Ranger had their own signature color and were able to summon their own Zord, a powerful biomechanical robot that the Rangers piloted in combat. As the leader of the Power Rangers, Jason had the most powerful Zord, the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord, which he summoned by yelling, “Tyrannosaurus Dinosaur Power!”

The award-winning singer and film actor Frank Sinatra's career spanned more than five decades, beginning in the 1930s until his death in 1995. This button memorializes the singer at different ages throughout his career. The song “My Way” was released in 1969, and became one of Sinatra’s most famous songs towards the end of his career. As a crowd-pleasing anthem, it became a highly demanded performance. If Sinatra tried to end a show without singing “My Way” he would be dragged back on stage to perform it. However, Sinatra was never shy about how much he hated the song and found it personally torturous to sing repeatedly. According to this his daughter Tina Sinatra, her father thought the nature of the lyrics to be too self-serving and self-indulgent.
