The Snooperstar was the 20th episode of Season 5 of the The Brady Bunch TV series, also the 115th overall episode in the series. Written by Harry Winkler, the episode, which was directed by Bruce Bilson, originally aired on ABC-TV on February 22, 1974. Besides Season 2 episode The Tattle-Tale, this is the second of two episodes which Susan Olsen disliked. The episode was originally planned for first season, when she was 8 years old, yet it wasn't made until Season 5, and at the age of 12, Susan Olsen really felt uncomfortable playing a five-year old Shirley Temple.
