Right before the episode starts, a brief commercial plays for Dash Laundry Detergent with Condensed Suds. Most sitcoms from this mid-1950s era would often do this: after a brief opening sequence, a commercial would be aired as an interstitial just before the show itself aimed at the target audience. Since this is a suds commercial, one could fairly assume the target audience for "It's Always Jan" is housebound, middle-aged married women.
After saving her from getting hit on by a creepy bar crawler, Pat and Mrs. Johnson chalk up Jan’s romantic misfortunes to her job as a nightclub singer; if she were a librarian or secretary, this wouldn’t be a problem. Fed up, she spontaneously decides to get married before even having an idea for what she wants in a suitor.
After a whole day of striking out, Jan finally lands a potential date in the form of Mr. Howard Stone. They never become a serious couple, but the experience does remind Jan she can still find love 9 years after the death of her military husband.
