This Freedman & Gershman episode has Greg having to choose between Marcia and his new girlfriend Jennifer for head cheerleader.  He instead chooses sixteen-year-old Rita Wilson as Pat Conway, who does seem to be the best.  (Marcia misspeaks, with "gate" or "gay" for "great" in her cheer.)  There's some fun Greg & Marcia arguing here, as well as the younger brothers teasing Greg, Marcia telling Jan she (Jan) doesn't know anything about life and then Jan telling Peter he doesn't, as well as the parents' reaction to Jennifer's snow job.  (Cindy and Alice don't get very much to do this time.)  Notice how flirty Mike and Carol get when he's giving her golf lessons.  (Apparently she's forgotten how to play golf since the first season.)  Also, you can amuse yourself by counting how many times the guy in the Afro and sweater vest walks by in the campus scenes.

This is the first of six Brady episodes Richard Michaels directed.
