Movie Reviews of That Girl: Season Three
Movie Review: Thanks for Season Three of this first-rate show!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Movie Review: THAT GIRL IS ALL THAT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a child of the 60's, and an avid collector of vintage television programs from the 50's and 60's I was ever so delighted when Shout! decided to get on the good foot and release this series. Back in the day, these programs had the best ensemble cast, storylines that didn't always have a popular resolution at the end of 22 minutes but great theme songs, openings and epilogues and some even presented the name of the particular episode. Every season of this series is a treasure and this one (season 3) is no exception. Carefully and beautifully packaged and sprinkled with extras, it makes me smile seeing Donald Hollinger, Mr. Marie and the rest of the regulars and semi-regulars and of course, who could ever forget Ann Marie's awesome wardrobe. Perhaps one of the future extras will reveal how she managed to look so fashionably trendy on waitressing and other quirky jobs in NYC. Now that I have seasons one, two, & three, let's go for the rest. You go girl!Movie Review: Marlo, Will You Marry Me?
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a child of the 60's. I grew up watching this show, all five years. I fell in love with Marlo as "That Girl" and remain her love puppy. What...a girl living on her own in NYC...trying to make it as a star...having a career? Unheard of! Marlo was a trend-setter. She was in on the beginning of the women's movement and also was a silent producer, director and writer, just like Donna Reed was. Marlo had control, but because of the 60's and the repression of women's rights not yet realized, she just remained the star of the show in the public's eye. I also like the show because of the good, clean humor, which you just don't get anymore. Nowadays, it seems comedy has to have "an edge" to be funny. I still ask...why? Anyway, this show was a trail-blazer, funny, beautifully acted, wonderously written and I will always love "That Girl", my Marlo. I recommend this show to all, young and old.Movie Review: "this guy's--that girl, review!!!!

there's just something magical about this show!! with all it's
60's morality---you really don't have character-couples like this

of it. i love this show!! and i'm glad to add thia to my collection!!!
Movie Review: Great Shout Factory Release !
Summary: 5 Stars
Another Great Release of That Girl from Shout Factory I realize sales for a show like this aren't the same as say Grey's Anatomy etc... but this is classic television and I commend Shout and Marlo Thomas and company to keep releasing this classic tv series. Other companies like FOX have stopped releasing shows like Mary Tyler Moore and The Bob Newhart show becuase they feel they aren't selling well even though the fans have stuck it out waiting for further season set releases. I hope we see the rest of this series released on DVD in a timely manor as it has been released so far.
