That Girl: Season Three (1966) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I remember my parents watching THAT GIRL during its original run, and then watched it for several years myself on reruns. It sounds cliche, but truly, THAT GIRL is as fresh today as it was some 40 (gulp!) years ago. Why? The series was beautifully produced with excellent production values; the writing is superb; and the characters are wonderfully realized by Marlo Thomas, Ted Bessell, Lew Parker and others. In addition, some of the best character actors working in Hollywood at the time appear in many episodes.
Season Three finds the series in full bloom. Season One set the stage, it grew during Season Two, and now the show has come into its own. Terrific episodes here, esp. the one in which Ann takes a bit part on a "Laugh-In"-style show ("Laugh-In" was a huge TV hit at the time) in which she descends a staircase as a very glamorous woman, only to take a pie in the face. Not a slapstick episode...just great stuff!
In this set, we once again have commentary by Marlo Thomas and producer Bill Persky, which is terrific, as well as a really interesting piece on how the show was produced week after week.
The shows look and sound great, and the set is beautifully packaged. Pick yourself up a copy, and you'll be SO glad you did.
Can't wait to get to Season 5, in which the title theme's rarely-heard lyrics are sung (and by the same background singers who supplied "The Partridge Family" and "Love, American Style" sound). Thank you, Shout Factory!

Before The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Murphy Brown and Ally McBeal, there was That Girl. The groundbreaking situation comedy starring Marlo Thomas debuted in 1966 and was the first to feature a young, independent female character. The wildly successful, award-winning show continues into the third season bringing to life the comedy of Ann Marie’s antics as a single girl in New York, her acting pursuits and her relationship with Donald Hollinger (Ted Bessell.)
