On January 17th we lost an icon...
Allan Melvin. Mr. Melvin was 74 years young.
Mr. Melvin was the voice of Magilla Gorilla, but was best known in American Pop Culture as
SAM the BUTCHER on the Brady Bunch!
Who amongst us didn't love the coupling of Sam and Alice?
He gave her the best meat, the best deals and eventually in made-for-tv movies, he gave her HIS meat as Sam and Alice had finally married. Awwwww!
The next time you eat meat, go bowling or watch the Brady Bunch (or My Fair Brady on VH1!) look up in the sky and sing the Magilla Gorilla theme song...
Magilla Gorilla and all of his friends say so long, so long, so lonnnnnng...to Allan Melvin.
Until next time...

Ok, I did not know this, Why was it not on ET, oh I know why because Britney is going out with a camera man! Now I got it!
And, I also did not know that he was the voice of Magilla Gorilla.
You learn something new everyday!
I loved Sam and Alice, I used to love when she would go by the meat, or they would go bowling together!
And the Brady Bunch, can I just say three words:
"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"
Loved that show!
