Marcia, marcia, marcia, why is everyone so interested in her?!
4 February 2007
A slew of movies-of-the-week appeared during the 1970's, aimed primarily at scaring teens away from: 1) underage sex 2)drugs 3) everything else Eve Plumb (Jan in THE BRADY BUNCH) is the teen runaway who ends up on the streets. The movie is maudlin, chauvinist, and downright silly. If you believe this movie, you should never leave home, do whatever your parents tell you, don't be a fool, stay in school, and just say no to drugs and everything else.....

A good triple bill of classic 1970's TV movies about the dangers of sex, drugs and free-thinking:

GO ASK ALICE, where Alice smokes weed, which leads to pills, which leads to acid....you know, that old chestnut. Bill Shatner (Captain Kirk) plays the dad......

TRIBES, where a young hippie is drafted into the Marine Corps and must erase all free-thinking. Darrin McGavin is particularly good here.
