Eve is a fine actress.

Yes, as a child actress the show writers always gave her the sad, neurotic storylines and she did well. In Real life, it seems actress Eve Plumb wasn't happy with the constant underdog character BUT ALL The Kids played "archetypal" characters Very well.

[@steventugwell6424]

@@tombovitale2597 true but I’m sure the Director gave her a preference for how she should say it.

[@msr1116]

In this case, Jan's teacher unwittingly sparked this entire episode to play out as it did--- with Jan dumping the awards in the closet out of frustration and then becoming understandably defensive when confronted. Being made to feel inadequate when compared to Marcia was bound to cause Jan to eventually (and maybe even a tiny bit irrationally ) vent her irritation.

[@PhilAlumb]

Poor Jan. Feeling bad.. justifies her actions, right?

[@msr1116]

@@PhilAlumb .... I'm pretty certain you yourself did something even mildly irrational out of frustration, irritation or annoyance, particularly around Jan's age---we all do. Besides, the awards weren't damaged, just treated disrespectfully, however, such an overreaction should never be condoned... and wasn't by the parents

[@mananimal3644]

I saw an edited scene from this episode where Jan rigged an explosive on Marcia’s type rider under the key “B” for boom. But at the last minute Tigger comes racing in and throws himself over the typewriter and saves Marcia! Well, that what happened to Tiger. The Humane Society sued Swartz and Swartz was forced to watch an endless loop of Gilligan’s Island strapped to a dentist chair. True story.🙏🏿

[@eduardo_corrochio]

They ramped up Jan's whole self image problem here; it was no longer merely unwanted freckles, buying a black wig, or having to invent a boyfriend ... and it became a recurring thing in seasons to come. Even in the final season she was insecure and doing the wrong thing (making so many campaign promises while running for office in school and then casually saying to a sibling that she'd never actually _fulfill_ them). "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" became a massive cult quote during the 80s and 90s--- before the word meme was a part of our everyday vocabulary --- I think it was the most known Brady Bunch expression, beating Bobby's iconic "Mom always said Don't play ball in the house" and Peter's famous Humphrey Bogart line "Pawk chaps ... and appa soz".

The episode scripts made Jan a neurotic, chronically unhappy character. It was.... over-kill.
