I am sure the mask bobby wears has been seen in the background in a few other episodes.

There are suddenly a lot of trophies in the Brady house and Marcia and Jan have one each. I guess Marcia will go on to win a lot more between now and Her Sisters Shadow

I think the dream sequence is used in the Brady TVM Big Kids, Big Problems.

The kid at the door is holding Car Sport magazine and is it me or is it the same one Greg has in the episode where Greg is working for Mike? Does anyone know whether it was a made up magazine?

Carols phone friend is Kathy and Mikes is George.

It's hard to believe that Mike would set of driving before Bobby and Carol have belted up though did they have seatbelts in the back of cars in the early 70s?

Blooper - one of the famous bloopers occurs in this episode when Mike etc leave in the blue car but return in the tan station wagon. I think this even made it into the newspapers at the time.

Cheat! At one point in the contest Bobby has his hands on the table despite being told to have them behind his back!

It is nice that Bobby doesn't actually win anything he tries too as sadly life doesn't always let us win but the way his siblings present him with a trophy for always trying is very sweet.

The plaques on the wall in the boys room are gone in the next episode.

All the cars I remember riding in back then had seatbelts, but I don't remember too many people wearing them, and in many cars you had to dig underneath the back seat for a while to find them!
