That Girl season two is Excellent,
By
This review is from: That Girl: Season 2 (DVD)
I loved this series when I was growing up and now that I am watching it again it is exactly as I remember. Ann Marie was the first woman to show women on TV as independent and not needing to be married to survive. She is strong, independent and her own woman. Some old TV series that I liked when I was young are terrible now, but not this series. It is just as great as it was 40 years ago. I recommend buying this TV series.

How we remember it being started,
By joseph Corey "party favors columnist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That Girl: Season 2 (DVD)
The second season brings us another 30 episodes of Ann Marie driving Donald nuts. This is also the season where they introduce the opening with the theme song sung, the kite and the wink. Shout! Factory has done a great job restoring this series so it plays better than when it first ran - back when you had to adjust the attenae on top of the TV.Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman 9/7/1967 The Good Skate 9/14/1967 Black, White and Read All Over 9/21/1967 To Each her Own 9/28/1967 The Apartment 10/5/1967 Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder (1) 10/12/1967 The Philadelphia Story (2) 10/19/1967 There's Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself 10/26/1967 The Collaborators 11/2/1967 When in Rome 11/9/1967 Thanksgiving Comes But One a Year, Hopefully 11/23/1967 The Mailman Cometh 11/30/1967 It's a Mod, Mod World (1) 12/7/1967 040 0 Reviews 3.9 It's a Mod, Mod World (2) 12/14/1967 041 0 Reviews 3.1 'Twas the Night before Christmas, You're Under Arrest 12/21/1967 A Friend in Need 12/28/1967 Fur All We Know 1/4/1968 The Rivals 1/11/1968 Sixty-Five on the Aisle 1/18/1968 Call of the Wild 1/25/1968 The Other Woman 2/1/1968 He and She and He 2/8/1968 Odpdypahimcaifss 2/22/1968 Great Guy 3/7/1968 The Detective Story 3/14/1968 If You Were Almost the Only Man in the World Just Spell the Name Right 3/28/1968 The Beard 4/11/1968 The Drunkard 4/18/1968 Old Man's Darling 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful

Let's not forget That GUY!,
By William Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That Girl: Season 2 (DVD)
A lot has been said about Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) but I would like to take some time here to explain why I love and not merely "like" this show: That Guy, Don Hollinger. Ted Bessell was a comic GENIUS. His greatest asset was not "trying" to be funny. He was cool, he was kind, he was jealous, he was the perfect compliment to Ann. That Girl may have been a success without Don, but I stand here today to tell you this show would not have lived this far beyond 1971 without Ted. Beyond him were the smart styles of the era, Ann's innocence that did captivate, but the true heart and motivation that was at the soul of That Girl was Don. I suppose if you wanted to draw comparisons Desi to Lucys Lucy could serve in a pinch but looking deeper there was genuine affection that Don and Ann had that cannot be manufactured through goofy mishaps. These two light up the screen like few others and I for one am HONORED to be able to have a piece of this special time when TV was more about charm than harm.The boxset itself is another Shout! masterpiece full of content like commentaries (when they speak!) and even an unseen pilot Marlo shot before That Girl. The packaging is smart and colorful, durable and yet sensible, in a way they just packaged That Girl in the very way it was produced. I may have just found this show last year but it will be with me for a lifetime:) Please release season three ASAP! 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful

Season 2 as great as Season 1!,
By C. Pledger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That Girl: Season 2 (DVD)
I just got "That Girl - Season 2" over the weekend, and even though I haven't finished watching all the episodes, I can say that this set is as great as Season 1! The picture and sound quality are the best (which is true of all sets I've bought that were put out by Shout! Factory), and the episodes are as funny as the first season's. The New York City location shots for the 1967-68 season are outstanding, and there seem to be a lot more of them than in the previous season (plus there're a lot more guest stars!). One thing I did notice was that the bonus features for disks 1 & 2 were actually reversed from the way they were listed on the packaging, but this is minor. I especially enjoyed watching the black and white, unaired pilot, "Two's Company"...the show that got Marlo Thomas noticed by ABC (there are some moments with Paul Lynde in this that were absolutely hilarious!) I hope that the future seasons contain a lot more of these archival materials, like more network promos, and maybe an early episode of "The Joey Bishop Show" with Marlo playing Joey's sister, Stella.Now if Shout! Factory would just release season sets (complete with similar bonus features) of a few fondly remembered, one-season-wonders from the same era: "Hey, Landlord", "Love on a Rooftop" and "Occasional Wife"! |
