I see an evil monster conservabot has left his or her poison on even a That Girl opening theme post,ugghhh go somewhere and listen to your killer mentors...Beck,Limberger or Hannity!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the stock liberal retort. I would like to forget Donahue, but he refuses to fade away. He appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan this week and he is still spouting the same inane opinions. Apparently, he is jealous of the new attention paid to his wife due to ME TV currently running "That Girl" and was desperate for some TV face time.
Is it wrong that I'm a guy and I'm now really addicted to this show?!? My mom and I stumbled upon "That Girl" on MeTV on New Year's Day, and she remarked that it was one of her favourite shows growing up, and at first, I thought it was just your typical girly sitcom, but it's so much more than that. The dialogue is incredible! I see some traces of "The Dick Van Dyke show" in "That Girl." Best of all, this is one of those rare shows, where the later seasons are better than the previous ones.
@rrhev I just discovered it too over Christmas break on MeTv!!!! I love that channel!! I had never heard of this show once before, but now I love!!! It is not weird that you are a guy and like it!! It makes you a better person!!! :)
i wish i was a woman of the 40s 50s or 60s. it actually seems like i would fit in. we women don't even look as great as marlo or any other well known women for that matter anymore...
I was only about 4 or 5 when I first saw this show. I thought it was called "Batgirl". I kept wondering why she never wore her crime fighting costume on the show.
I know Marlo Thomas was thinking outside of the box not having Ann and Don Marry on the show but I think it would have been a nice way to end the series with a two hour wedding special episode titled "That Wedding" on "That Girl".
Marlo Thomas was absolutely gorgeous. Liked the show, liked the intro, but prefer the version the instrumental version. The lyrics just seem forced and kinda dumb.
Oh...I remember watching this as a little tyke! I thought Marlo was so beautiful, I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. Either her or Mary Tyler Moore.
I was a little girl in the late 60s and its my opinion that Women's Lib eventually destroyed this country! It started out with good intentions (equality, fair pay, etc) but then evolved to the point where ladies turned into man-hating, emasculating shrews.
Men in turn became less like gentlemen (picking you up @ your door for a date and paying for it, opening your car door, lighting your cigarette, etc).
thats my story and I'm sticking to it! Maybe its because I was in grade school in the late 60s and when I came home every day my mother was there, me and my sibs weren't latchkey kids and got in a lot less trouble. Most of my friends have kids now in their early to mid-20s and all of them are involved with the criminal justice system and not in a good way. Having kids raise themselves is a lousy idea.
@szqsk8 People don't have common sense or compassion any more. I learned those things from my parents, no families have either one parent or two parents working 70 hours a week, and kids raise themselves. I think it is summed up well in the movie Indiana Jones and the The last crusade..., his dad says " I taught you self reliance", And Indie reply's "You taught me that people who lived hundreds of years ago in another country were more important to you then I was."
@robtay1963 Lots of adults in this world over 40 who have no manners either. We've gone far beyond just bad manners in this country. Bad manners is a symptom of shallowness, self entitlement and self absorption, something that the Reganite/Lost Generation have embraced and passed on to their children quite well. Now we have an army of materialistic brats who don't care about themselves and vice versa
i read about the sad passing of mr. Sam Denoff. he and Bill Persky worked on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, THAT GIRL and other shows. he was born in 1928 like my mom was. he will sadly be missed just like my mom.
i prefer the original, earlier season theme which they had pulled.. Enough of the 17 somethings who's only exposure to his show or music is lame shows like Family Guy or The Simpsons...
Does anyone know where the very beginning of the intro is filmed? I notice the train is traveling on the "left" track, then I noticed the traffic on the right is also moving on the "wrong side" of the road. England maybe?
@jess4metoo The train scene is the Amtrak Northeast Corridor Line in Secaucus, NJ. The roadway on the right is the NJ Turnpike Eastern Spur. The hill in the background is Snake Hill (Laurel Hill County Park). At 0:09, the rail bridge crosses the train tracks for the NJ Transit Main Line. At this rail crossing today is the Secaucus Transfer Station. If you look closely, you will see that the cars on the road are running backwards - this film is reversed as it was taken from the back of the train.
@RickSeraf Thanks for the info! That explains the truck on the left backing up at the onset of intro. One day I'll make it to your side of the country(I'm in Ca) and visit Laurel Hill Co.Park, with Ground Zero beng my first stop. God Bless.
I love Marlo! She's NOT a 'lame' version of MTM---take her on her own unique fun terms. Also, I think this show predated MTM show (anybody know the premiere??)--so who's copying whom?? Marlo's sort of an updated version of Gracie Allen--ditzy but able to handle her own in the big city. The theme is bouncy and sweet--they don't have hummable themes like this anymore do they? More's the pity!! Glad I grew up then--its a poorer tv world now, THAT'S for sure. "Donald!!"
my only fvorite part of the beginning theme when i was a child is the end,when she messes up her hair.[dont have a clue why i liked that part way back then,probally because ladies back then didnt mess up their hair,they had way too much hairspray and or dipity doo!so i think i found that girl kindof like a woman/child.,a child would mess up their hair like that after mom spent hours on it!
Marlo--fun and ditzy in the gracie allen tradition, but marvelously single and up dated. I wonder if MTM show borrowed That Girl's theme montage--you know, the girl in the big city---which show came first?
@windstorm1000 that's an insightful observation about the montage. "that girl" debuted in 1966, "mtm" debuted in 1970, so it's likely the one influenced the other. and oddly enough, both "that girl" and mtm were brunettes. now i'm wondering which was the first u.s. tv sitcom to focus on a blonde-haired young woman in the big city. or have there been any?
@wallofvideo I'm going to say Murphy Brown--swedish-am. blonde Candice Bergen-- but I just know I'm WAYYY wrong. Forgot to mention, I love the frilly pink parosol and matching dress that Marlo twirls around in at the montage end in Lincoln Center--so innocent and fun--a girls first time in the Big City. Like a cool drink on a hot afternoon.
@wallofvideo I've got it!! Doris Day!! Got the answer indirectly from another post--Doris goes to the big city (San Fran.) in her 3rd season I believe--early 70's--that predates Murphy Brown!! Yay, Doris--we love you!!
@windstorm1000 that's right, how did i not think of that? que sera sera! if memory serves correctly, on the show, doris was a widow with kids. so now i'm wondering - - what was the first u.s. sitcom to focus on a blonde-haired young woman in the big city who's never been married or had any kids?
@wallofvideo You got me!! Doris, indeed, had kids---How about--Inger Stevens in "The Farmer's Wife"??? She's the nanny.--and speaking of---Juliet Mills in "the nanny"? I don't know if you would include these two as 'independent woman' in the MTM mold--anybody else on this bit of trivia?--the first series of a blonde single career woman in the big city?
@windstorm1000 Doris Day! I think you're right! I was thinking of Sandy Duncan, but I love Doris Day, and I don't know why I didn't think of her first. The incomparable Kay Ballard was on Doris' show.
@wallofvideo I'm not sure who it would be, but there is one blonde coming to mind. That would be Sandy Duncan in the Sandy Duncan Show. I remember watching it as a kid. Of course, her "Wheat Thins" commercials were always a hit. Again, that's the first blonde that comes to mind, but I don't know for sure.
@TwinkleBuzzy - They should cast Ms. Selena Gomez to do a remake of this t V show in an updated version. She can resemble Marlo easily and they both have the same voice range and bubbly personality. It would be GREAT!
why does everyone have to mention the family guy when talking about classic shows? is that there only way to find about great old shows? sad commentary....
the first thing alot of guys wanted to know about ann marie back then was did she swallow or spit.to this day alot of people still want to know the truth.
Its such a shame that, by the fifth season, when they updated the theme song to include lyrics, they didnt do any new shots of the new Ann with her hair parted down the middle - she was hot with a capital H!!!
Reminds me of a simpler time & I remember watching it at my grandparents house. It also reminds me of how old I'm getting! She is one beautiful lady .... a knock out!!!
with the beginning of the 1970s, Mary Tyler Moore and even Doris Day soon followed the "single girl, making it on her own" pattern - which puzzles me about the Doris Day Show - the show started out with Doris being a widowed mother of two sons living on her father's ranch - then, towards the 4th and 5th seasons of the show, she was a free-wheeling single gal living above an Italian restaurant-
What always puzzled me was the fact that of all the shows ABC premiered in 1966, they kept That Girl running for five seasons while The Green Hornet only ran for one, and Batman for just three. That's a travesty.
@jsrosa1282: Batman was crap, Green Hornet was good but only a half-hour, and by '68, the bloom was off the rose as far as superheroes on TV were concerned.
I remember this season - it was 1970-71 - Ann Marie went as far as the engagement with Donald, but Marlo Thomas didnt want the show to end with the two of them getting married - I read somewhere that she didn't want to give young girls and women the message that MARRIAGE was the "end-all" to everything!!
@christheone8773 Interesting comment--Marlo, then, had a more sophisticated point of view than many other young women of her generation. "I can do it on my own"
@windstorm1000 after all, it was the beginning of the "women's lib" movement - Marlo Thomas appearently wanted to send a message to young women that marriage wasn't necessarily the solution to everything- and you're right, it was the beginning of women saying, "I CAN do it on my own"-
When I was growing up my sister loved this show. I hated it. The only thing I remember is asking myself, "why does that lady have a picture of herself on her kite?" 1971....I was 8 years old. My sister was 10 years older then me. WOW, times goes by.
Although I'm a big Green Acres fan, That GIrl made me decide to stay single, childless, have a career and live on my own.
Just like Green Acres, this was also That GIrl's last season (1970-71). Has it been forty years since they both ended My oh my how time flies? (I was only 13 back then.).
@nanlisa Yeah, but watching this show kinda made me wonder: how could a single girl, living in Manhattan, and a struggling actress at that, afford such nice clothes and live in such a nice apartment?
@weldhawk1 Peter Griffin didn't send me here, but that ep in which they did that bit reminded me.. I remember watching some of this show around the mid-80's on the USA Network. However, I didn't know this intro started on the show's 5th season.
the lyrics are Diamonds, Daisies, Snowflakes, That Girl Chestnuts, Rainbows, Springtime ... Is That Girl She's tinsel on a tree ... She's everything that every girl should be! Sable, Popcorn, White Wine, That Girl Gingham, Bluebirds, Broadway ... Is That Girl She's mine alone, but luckily for you ... If you find a girl to love, Only one girl to love, Then she'll be That Girl too ... That Girl!
This is dating me, but I remember watching this as a kid on ABC on Friday nights! Good times. :)

Reminds me of a simpler time & I remember watching it at my grandparents house. It also reminds me of how old I'm getting! She is one beautiful lady .... a knock out!!!

with the beginning of the 1970s, Mary Tyler Moore and even Doris Day soon followed the "single girl, making it on her own" pattern - which puzzles me about the Doris Day Show - the show started out with Doris being a widowed mother of two sons living on her father's ranch - then, towards the 4th and 5th seasons of the show, she was a free-wheeling single gal living above an Italian restaurant-

What always puzzled me was the fact that of all the shows ABC premiered in 1966, they kept That Girl running for five seasons while The Green Hornet only ran for one, and Batman for just three. That's a travesty.

@jsrosa1282: Batman was crap, Green Hornet was good but only a half-hour, and by '68, the bloom was off the rose as far as superheroes on TV were concerned.

I remember this season - it was 1970-71 - Ann Marie went as far as the engagement with Donald, but Marlo Thomas didnt want the show to end with the two of them getting married - I read somewhere that she didn't want to give young girls and women the message that MARRIAGE was the "end-all" to everything!!

@christheone8773 Interesting comment--Marlo, then, had a more sophisticated point of view than many other young women of her generation. "I can do it on my own"
windstorm1000 9 months ago
@windstorm1000 after all, it was the beginning of the "women's lib" movement - Marlo Thomas appearently wanted to send a message to young women that marriage wasn't necessarily the solution to everything- and you're right, it was the beginning of women saying, "I CAN do it on my own"-

When I was growing up my sister loved this show. I hated it. The only thing I remember is asking myself, "why does that lady have a picture of herself on her kite?" 1971....I was 8 years old. My sister was 10 years older then me. WOW, times goes by.

Although I'm a big Green Acres fan, That GIrl made me decide to stay single, childless, have a career and live on my own.
Just like Green Acres, this was also That GIrl's last season (1970-71). Has it been forty years since they both ended My oh my how time flies? (I was only 13 back then.).

@nanlisa Yeah, but watching this show kinda made me wonder: how could a single girl, living in Manhattan, and a struggling actress at that, afford such nice clothes and live in such a nice apartment?

@christheone8773 Ann was a hooker on the side. They couldn't talk about that stuff in the '60s.

@weldhawk1 Peter Griffin didn't send me here, but that ep in which they did that bit reminded me.. I remember watching some of this show around the mid-80's on the USA Network. However, I didn't know this intro started on the show's 5th season.
