The Brady Bunch: Miss Popularity

The Brady Bunch: Miss Popularity
ABC
December 21, 1973
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This episode, the last written by Martin Ragaway and the last directed by Jack Donohue, is a bit uncharacteristic for Jan, who not only becomes the title character, but does so by making a lot of empty promises.  If you can get past that, it's an entertaining episode, especially all the innuendo and flirtation between Mike and Carol, e.g. "You can ride my range anytime."  Note that Friday falls on the 8th, which would place this in February or March of '74.  As for its being Jan's Senior Night, that seems premature, unless she skipped a grade somewhere.  (Maybe that's why she was in junior high at the same time as Marcia although apparently not now with Bobby.)

Darryl Seman, who's Herman, was recently Billy Naylor.
