The Not-So-Ugly Duckling - 11/20/70 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Is this the first Jan thinks she is less than Marcia episode?

The hall outside the girls room has changed yet again.

"Don't blame me if boys don't find you attractive" has got to be one of the best lines in the shows history. I do not think that Marcia realised just how much of a put down it was.

The mirror in the girls room has jumped from above the tall chest of drawers to between Jan and Marcia's beds.

Like an earlier episode Jan looks at the side mirror in the bathroom rather than the mirror on the fourth wall.

Some of the magazines in the Valley Drug Store look familiar. Car Sport and Vanity; both of which tend to litter the Brady house.

This is the episode to introduce us to George Glass who would turn up in the flesh in A Very Brady Sequel.

During a scene when Jan enters the kitchen to talk to Alice it looks like her mark is on the floor.

The Brady telephone number is given by Jan as 762 0799.

During a curious but funny scene with Peter, Carol and Mike and during a later scene with Jan on the phone we get some nice shots in the parents bedroom of the desk and side dresser.

The moral of this story seems to be that guys like gals that dress like girls.

Marcia and Jan usually had a pretty good relationship, but I'm sure they got on each other's nerves like normal sisters. Marcia was 'Little Miss Perfect'. She got all of the awards and was always brushing her hair in front of the mirror. Jan was 'Poor Jan Brady' who enjoyed feeling sorry for herself. In real life, if Marcia had said that line to Jan, there may have been a loud argument or even a fistfight. Instead, Jan just rubs lemons on her freckles and cries.
