Question
Did Eve Plumb play Jan on every single episode?  It seems I remember another "Jan."  Please help me to solve this "dilemma" that my husband and I are having!!

Answer
In the Brady Bunch series itself, yes, Jan was played by Eve Plumb every time.  BUT in the miserable "Brady Bunch Variety Hour" that bombed in 1977, Plumb declined to participate.  The Jan "character" was filled in with another girl, named Geri Reischl.  In any other revival or reunion, Eve Plumb played the part.

Years of watching the episodes repeatedly, purchase of books, and personal contact with several cast members.
