The Brady Bunch: Jan's Aunt Jenny

B-

Michael Morris's second Brady story is about the title character (technically Carol's Aunt Jenny), sort of an Auntie Mame type, who looked like Jan 40 years ago.  Jan is afraid she'll inherit her aunt's looks.  It's hard not to feel uncomfortable about this episode, since Jenny has to learn, however delicately, that the family thinks she's ugly.  Still, I like that she admits she could've had plastic surgery but would rather have her own unique appearance.  Note that the family is clearing out the attic, which will make Greg moving in easier in a year, although it's still unclear why Mike thought the ceiling would be too low a year before this.
