Ben Starr's middle Brady script, and the first of two Brady episodes directed by Allen Baron, is a transitional one for not only pubescent Peter for the show as a whole, since this is the one where the idea of the kids as a singing group is really launched.  They sing not one but two memorable songs, "We Can Make the World a Whole Lot Brighter" and "When It's Time to Change."  There are also some nice character moments, with everyone wanting to do the right thing, and Carol gets to deliver a lecture without Mike for a change.  Note that the cartoon that Bobby watches in the boys' room is full of Brady instrumentals.  Also note that Carol has a brother, presumably only one.

John Wheeler makes his middle of three Brady appearances, as Mr. Dimsdale.
