Jan Brady Finally Discovers Her Talent

[@jamesr1703]

Jan is simply gorgeous.

[@Just1American1966]

Was coming here to say that. She really grew up nicely.

Also,the best actress

[@joebuckaroo82]

I had a childhood crush on her.

[@Totentanz23]

@@joebuckaroo82 Right? Bringing back a lot of childhood "feelings" for me.

[@whiteandright1958]

Yea, she turned into a major POA by the end of the show

[@waynebrooks880]

And once again, Peter shows us why he’s the best Brady brother. He defends Cindy, supports Jan, and respects Marcia. Over the course of the show Peter (and Jan) have true character development.

[@fergonzalez5670]

And even if Jan and Peter are the most underrated duo out of the siblings, they didn't argue that much like Greg and Marcia or Bobby and Cindy.

[@EmeraldView]

Peter's definitely the best. Love his character.

[@RBS_]

...and, he became SMOKIN' HOT, too! ...ha-HAA!

[@alondralabute2310]

Except when Marcia had to fire him because he kept goofing off at the ice cream parlor! When I watched this as a teenager he was the one I had a crush on.

[@jamessatter7418]

@@fergonzalez5670 Very true. Jan and Peter had mutual respect for one another, which was very different from the dynamics of the other kids.

Eve Plumb is a very gifted painter. Her still lifes are amazing.

Is Jan a gifted painter?

[@alondralabute2310]

Is there a site online where we can see them?

@@alondralabute2310 Google search "Eve Plumb Art", & her artwork is on the 'Bilotta Gallery' site.

[@TnseWlms]

Didn't she do a painting of Eve in the Garden of Eden reaching for a plum?

[@morganjanelle4282]

@@TnseWlms I'm not sure. I Googled several keywords such as "Eve Plumb", garden of Eden, & plum to see if I could find it, but the only painting that I could find that might've been similar, is of a nude woman in the Garden of Eden reaching up to pick something off a tree. (Maybe an orange, peach or nectarine?), but it was painted by someone named Dobriela Koeva.

[@EmeraldView]

Peter is such a good supportive brother.

[@jaelinsmith5207]

Once again this show is very classy

[@rosierubyjane]

jan looks so pretty here in this dress 🎀

[@Ohsnapitzann]

I love this episode Jan found her hidden talent. I love how helpful and empathic all the siblings were towards her plight.

[@mananimal3644]

Eve Plumb as such a natural beauty.

[@BoulevardeTV]

Jan is gorgeous and a natural beauty

[@wildmike951]

The boy who played Billy looks like Peter.

[@roachtoasties]

Because he is. I wonder why Jan didn't notice. I guess because she isn't wearing her glasses.

[@Lava1964]

I looked it up. The actor who played Billy was Darryl Seman. It is not Christopher Knight!

[@roachtoasties]

@@Lava1964 He sure looks like an identical twin.

[@Lava1964]

I always had a soft spot in my heart for Jan. I was a middle child too.

Life imitates art! Eve Plumb indeed has found her gift

[@BrianSerpente]

Wonderful to see Jan finally found her hidden talent😊❤

[@PhilAlumb]

I thought Jan was good at being herself.

[@timothykozlowski3346]

This might be the reason why she became an architect

[@katie.e.g.]

And Eve Plumb is an incredible painter!

[@fergonzalez5670]

There are not many storylines with Jan and Peter working as a duo like with Greg and Marcia or Cindy and Bobby. In fact, I think Jan and Peter didn't argue like the other 2 pairs when the episode was centered on Jan and Peter usually the two of them supported each other in whatever goal they had.

[@jakebluethunder]

Probably because they were also the middle children. There's something different (in a good way) about middle children.

[@EmeraldView]

​@@jakebluethunderI can concur

[@irvinetustin]

Once Jan got the glasses off and the braces off she was just as pretty as Marcia.

[@GaryBurkey-p6r]

I agree 😊

[@heatherallingham7120]

The show came out when I was a little kid. I always thought Jan was the prettier one

[@ThisisstillMYROOM.]

@@GaryBurkey-p6rglasses and braces do NOT affect a person’s attractiveness !! It’s a ridiculous comment.

[@cloud5buster]

@@ThisisstillMYROOM. You keep telling yourself that. It's entirely subjective, if irvinetustin finds glasses and braces unattractive, who are you to criticize him for that? He's allowed to have his beauty preferences.

Blooper: The girl in the green striped shirt goes from sitting in the second row behind Peter to sitting in the front row depending on which angle they show.

[@northlightartists]

Looks like they only have a handful of extras and they're shuffling them around to fill the seats based on the camera angle.

[@kenlompart9905]

@@northlightartists Could be, sometimes they re-shoot a scene then use footage spliced together from both and in doing so people and things get moved around because continuity wasn't as important back then.

[@northlightartists]

Yes could be that too Ken. It sounds like you worked in the biz. I did for 30 years and spot this shite all the time.

[@kenlompart9905]

@@northlightartists No I never worked the biz but it's always interested me. To be honest I subscribe to Judy Norton from The Waltons KZbin channel and she often explains situations like this, I've actually learned a lot about how shows and movies are done from her. Having been involved in it you would probably enjoy her videos, she doesn't just talk about the show she explains how they shot certain scenes and even interviews past guest stars and cast members.

[@picard4327]

​@@kenlompart9905She didn't even go to the same school!

I spent four years of high school looking for a “Jan”. I finally found one senior year.

I was going to be funny sarcastic and give a Jan zinger but actually that’s sweet. Congrats. 😊

[@Just1American1966]

Jan is lovely. She had really grown up nicely by then.

[@jaredjlinden]

Miss Ferguson was the librarian in the episode where Bobby idolized Jesse James. The actor who played Billy appeared in “Miss Popularity” - just a few episodes later - as Herman, whom Jan promised Greg would help with his algebra.

Forget the art class. Jan has a career at Haskell's Ice Cream.

[@rsmith7994]

Indeed. That’s where her true talent is…as someone’s low-wage employee.

Is that Sherwood Schwartz's daughter Hope sitting behind Jan and Peter. I know she made appearances in a lot of episodes -- and this looks like her. Usually, she had a speaking role.

Nope. Not Hope Sherwood Juber. She appeared once as Marcia's brief frenemy Jenny, two dates with Greg as Rachel. (NOT the goat!), and in the finale as Gretchen. (Why they didn't just make her Rachel again, I have no idea...). In her first and last appearances on the BB, she shares scenes with Barbara Bernstein - Florence Henderson's daughter...

With those mini skirts you can " see her talent" !!!!!!

Sadly, Jan discovered that in addition to being an artist, in 2024 you ALSO needed to act and dance and film yourself and edit your films and post them on social media 5 times a week or more to attract attention if you want people to see what kind of art you make and maybe even sell your services... I know, Jan... no artist signed up for this bullshit... but that's what we have to do now... act like a bunch of trained monkeys so people will stumble across us and follow us and maybe even commission us... otherwise, we're screwed. Bummer.
