I'm sure we all think that Marlo Thomas is beautiful, but she's never more beautiful than in the That Girl opening theme when she's walking in that purple dress with that purple parasol. I never get tired of watching the opening! Ty for sharing! Merry Christmas!
I have to be very honest here. I’m a 52 year old male and I had the biggest man crush on Ted Bessel. I love his acting, his style and he is one handsome guy. I always loved the way he looks at Ann. This is a well put together sitcom and I have very fond memories of watching re runs of this series back in the summer of 85. .. I miss those easier times and atmosphere. RIP Ted Bessell
She had parts in numerous plays during the course of the series, which are easier to come by than TV or movie roles. Also, most good actors consider theater to be the purest form of the art.
That "flower pot," pitcher with the plastic fern made a miraculous recovery after Lew smashed it over the detective's head. It can be seen many times in later episodes/seasons.
Jay C. Flippen also guest starred on an episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show, as an early comedy mentor of Rob Petrie's. I wonder if Jay was related to Ruth Brooks Flippen, who was deeply involved in the oriduction of That Girl. Anybody?? Anyone??
Neither the neighbor (somewhat understandably) or the arresting officers have any idea what robbery is. However, when the police come to the apartment, they send a burglary detective rather than someone from the robbery squad.
In the scene where Ann's father decks the cop in her apartment, you can see clearly that the fireplace has no back wall and that the actors' legs are visible.
@@UncleDavesKitchen Could be. Maybe in NY it would be decorative only. Maybe no chimney there. It would be dangerous to light a fire in a fireplace with no back.
Not dangerous enough to be uncommon. Many older buildings had shared room fireplaces. Another popular new fireplace in the 1960s was the open hood (big orange funnel) fireplace that was open all around and placed in the middle of the room...ski lodge style
And in many film noirs as police officers, and as a crook in the musical "It's Always Fair Weather." His name was Jay C. Flippen and it is clear how he was cast here: That Girl's story editor and the writer of this (unusually bad) script was Ruth Brooks Flippen, who was his wife. Ms. Flippen was also the story editor for "Bewitched" and "The Brady Bunch."
Yes, when people "binge-watch", they start nit-picking like crazy. I think they actually just get tired of watching the show and don't realize it... Take a break, folks.

Love these videos ty for sharing
The detective was also the exterminator when Ann sees a mouse in her apartment. I guess he worked the extra job for some spending money.
And her neighbor Jerry, played by Bernie Kopell, was the doctor on The Love Boat.
I feel bad for Ann's mom. She never gets to be involved in these things.
Lol. Such fun
Ann sure is obsessed with the theatre. She watches plays alot more than movies.
She had parts in numerous plays during the course of the series, which are easier to come by than TV or movie roles. Also, most good actors consider theater to be the purest form of the art.
Theater is always very big in New York City, and I think it was particularly important and popular in the 1960s, when this show was being made.

it's a see thru fireplace that's accessible from two adjoining rooms. Several episodes show the other side from the bedroom.

@@preppysocks209 they are quite common, some call them see through fireplaces. We have them here in Arizona, they've been around for ages, google it.

@@STho205 In Season 3, Episode 25, where they play Monopoly, Ann's father points out that the fireplace is fake.
I expected the theater tickets to be counterfeit.
Don't know his name but the actor playing the Sargeant played in a lot of westerns.

"bad" script?
I love it, I think it's very good.
Some neighbours are so stupid.. I highly doubt robbers would be wearing the clothes Donald n Anne were wearing.
Pre-1970 everyone dressed better. Homeless people wore jackets and neck ties. So did burglars. You had to be there!
The police sergeant did not have the proper badge on. The badge he's wearing is for a a patrolman.
Well that makes it completely unbelievable.
I want my money back
At least it wasn't the badge of the local dog catcher.
Some episodes are so ridiculous and unrealistic. I personally cannot find it amusing. It is just plain stupidity. 😊. Had to pass on this one.
I had to skip through most of this season to be honest.
It’s not supposed to be realistic.. it’s called “ show biz”… comedy in a skit… absurd.. ironic. Etc
@@molliwilson5639 Agreed. Realism has little to do with it. It's a sitcom, not a documentary.

@@bluecollarlit interesting! Nit-picking because the newness is wearing off. I never thought of that. Makes sense though
Good show and some noticeably proper makeup for its co stars...🫰🏼
