The Brady Bunch
When someone once asked Pynchon's sister, "What's your brother likely to be doing right now?", she reportedly said "Watching The Brady Bunch." Source

The episode where Jan gets a wig is titled "The New Jan Brady," a 4-minute condensation of which is on Youtube. It's also discussed in Inherent Vice (page 310):

"What kind of wig?"
"Brunette, I think. She gets tired of being a blonde?"
"Tell me about that. Still not the same as changing your politics, I guess."
