Customer Reviews

Thanks for Season Three of this first-rate show!
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!

That Girl Season Three
I have preordered this DVD and can't wait till it arrives. I plan on buying the whole series and already have seasons one and two. I have been been very pleased with those sets and I am sure this set will also bring many hours of entertainment. I enjoy seeing these shows from a time before I was even born. My kids are now enjoying the show and also think it is very funny. Keep up the good work, Shout Factory!

THAT GIRL IS ALL THAT!!!
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!
