Jan decides that brunettes have more fun when she invests in a wig to make her stand out.
Tropes present in this episode:
- Abhorrent Admirer: What reason could Peter possibly have for wanting to avoid Margie Whipple?
- Actor Allusion: Jan's friend Lucy Winters is portrayed by Pamelyn Ferdin; who had voiced Lucy Van Pelt in the 1969 movie A Boy Named Charlie Brown and two other Peanuts specialsnote
- Be Yourself: Every Brady kid, at one point or another, learns or enforces this lesson, and Jan learns it here, especially after several of her classmates let her know they like her just as she is ... long, blonde hair and all.
- Playing Sick: Peter tries to get out of going to the party after learning that his Abhorrent Admirer will be there by doing this. However, when Mike and Carol mention that if he's not feeling well, he shouldn't play in his baseball game the following day, he quickly feels much better.
- Shout-Out: Marcia Wallace, who works at the shop where Jan buys her wig, sometimes appeared on the game show (as a guest celebrity) on the TV show To Tell the Truth, whose catch phrase, "Will the real (name) please stand up?" is used in this episode's title.
