 This episode has Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick as the Runaway. Her character is named Janet, but she is called "Jan" for short which might provide a chuckle or two because of the Brady Bunch character, "Jan Brady", which was sister to Maureen s "Marcia Brady" character. Janet, age 16 years old, feels she is not loved by her parents who own a real estate agency, she was a "unexpected pregnancy" as her mother gave birth to her at age 42. Her parents love and dote on their oldest daughter but seem to care very little for Janet even when they hear she has ran away from home. Janet falls in love with a minor league baseball player and tags along with him and the team on a road trip to Bakersfield. She is very jealous and an emotional wreck at times when she feels her boyfriend does not pay attention to her. She checks in with her sister one night on the phone, who begins to be concerned so she hires clinical psychologist Steve Arizzio who tracks her down eventually. Steve begins to realize that even Janet s parents have no concern for her whereabouts and understands why Janet craves attention and love from others. Eventually it is Janet s sister who adopts her, dropping her selfish fiancée along the way allowing Janet to finally find someone who will love her, give her attention and treat her with the respect she deserves. Steve Arizzio solves another missing Runaway case for this short-lived Quinn Martin production series that ran on NBC during 1978 and 1979. Brady Bunch fans were deprived of a Brady Bunch reunion had Maureen appeared on the series the previous year when actor Robert Reed played the lead role in the Runaways and could have tracked her down. This series is not that bad, the concept is overall intriguing and if done correctly might even work on today s television format.
