Let me tell ya - If I ever happen to encounter a girl who even comes close to being like "that" girl - I will run, run, run away in "that" opposite direction - Like - Pronto! I really will.My overall summary of "That Girl" goes like this - It was an irksome, ill-conceived TV show all about a dumb, clueless, annoying blond who just happened to be a brunette. End of story.As far as the Ann Marie character being a "struggling actress" goes - With a super-low IQ like hers - It's no wonder she was struggling - 'Cause - (Let's face it) - Real-life actress, Marlo Thomas (who played that girl) couldn't act her way out of a wet, paper bag. (No. Not even if her life depended on it)Anyway - I cannot believe that this dreary, painfully predictable TV show was such a big, comedy hit way back in the mid-1960s ('cause it actually endured for 5 unbelievably awful seasons).

Never heard of this show before as its from the states, and in the sixties i lived abroad a lot so would never have seen it. I stumbled over it literally on Amazon and gave it a go. I really enjoyed it, and just finished it, and feel well kind of sad to be honest as it was a joy to watch, innocent, funny, and true to the period. When i was in the late sixties and engaged i had to be in by 9pm or else. I loved Ann Maries clothes they brought back so many memories i found it got better with each series, and she changed too into a very beautiful women towards the end. I got the premise of the show, in the days its set women were not seen living on their own especially independent living in NY. Her father was typical of the day just like my father was with me. Well he meant well lol. In wasn't un-heard of for people even engaged in the sixties never to actually have sex don't forget birth control wasn't the best and well some couples believe it was right to wait for marriage. I wish it had gone on for longer, i really did enjoy it and Ted Bessell was a bit of eye candy very sad he died so young not long after this show ended. Its worth a watch as i said it gets better as it moves through the series. I had never heard of the actress before, she was excellent and funny and did the part well. I am sure anyone will enjoy this. Its a bit of nostalgia.

I love this light hearted comedy. Marlo Thomas is so sweet. Her wardrobe was very hip! She wore the coolest clothes. The show had many guest stars like her dad Danny Thomas, Ethel Merman, Milton Berle,and Sid Caesar. Ted Bessell was the perfect choice to play Ann Marie's boyfriend. They had a wonderful chemistry on screen and remained close friends till his death in 1997. Season 1 & 2 are available on DVD now. So go and buy them and enjoy! The show took our minds off of what was really going on in the world. The Vietnam war was raging, the civil rights movement was tearing the nation apart, and Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were murdered during the shows run from 1966-1971.

I've been looking for a certain episode, #8, Little Auction Annie for ages. I'm probably the world's biggest That Girl fan and would love to see it on TV Land, instead of some of the so-so shows they've got on now! Any other That Girl fans out there: we should start a campaign to get TV Land to put on That Girl!I have seen some of the DVD's out with select That Girl shows on....I'd love to see a season-by-season release of all of the shows, however. Anyone know if that is out yet? Or does anyone have episode #8 on VHS or DVD? I love trivia about the show and would play That Girl trivia with anyone interested!
