I just started watching this show on ME-TV and ironically this was the episode that aired last night. I'm only in my late 20s so this show is new to me!
Dam were the woman ever hot back then,what a classic and classy looking woman,i wish woman looked and acted like that today,sexy without haveing to show everything like they do today......

This show began when I was in Kindergarten and I adored it. I thought she was the most beautiful woman on T.V. For my sixth birthday my mother took me to the "Beauty Parlor" and the beautician washed and set my hair in rollers so that when it dried it flipped up at the ends. I jumped out of the chair and hugged my mom and screamed "Just like That Girls hair!" It only lasted for about three hours but it is still one of my favorite childhood memories. Thanx for posting the opening! LUV IT!!!
szqsk8...you forget "I Dream of Jeannie", "The Lucy Show", "Here's Lucy", and "The Addams Family". From your list, ''Gilligan's Island'' is probably the best, and then the ''That Girl'' or ''The Brady Bunch''. The others, foreget them...!!!
Marlo Thomas was smokin' hot. Too bad she's such a candy ass liberal. Meanwhile, as I dog her, OLD Marlo is still smokin hot - and crying all the way to the bank.
Trivia - the train scene at the beginning is along the New Jersey Transit main line. At 0:13, where the train line passes over the other train line, this is the current location of the Secaucus Transfer Station. The bluff in the background is Laurel Hill State Park in New Jersey. Also, the film is running backwards (see the cars traveling backwards on the New Jersey Turnpike to the right).
@RickSeraf I remember this show when I was a kid, but recently MeTV has been airing it, that's when I noticed Snake Hill and the NJTP. Good call with the reverse filming
Trivia: From 0:05 to 0;13, the train line is the Amtrak Northeast Corridor Line, at what is now the Secaucus Transfer Station, at 0:13, the bridge on the rail line crosses the New Jersey Transit Main Line. The train lines still cross at this location, but the Transfer Station was built here over the two tracks. The New Jersey Turnpike Eastern Spur is the highway running parallel to the tracks on the right side. Also, the film is running backwards (taken from the back of the train, but reversed).
I love the bright eyed excitement on her face as she is looking around the city for the first time. Such an innocent time. If only I had a time machine! Never again will there be such a time as the 60s and 70s.
If Marlo Thomas was to do this show today they would tell her to lose thirty pounds. She has such a great figure running through the park in those white pants with her kite. The days when women looked like women.
@szqsk8 I know what you mean. I didn't fully understand the show when I was a kid but my Dad who did Busienss Trips would tell he he ran into "That Girl" and she had a date with some hot guy whose name was Donald. : - D. She really kicked the door open for Single Ladies, were it not for her we may not have had Ally McBeal.
I was a toddler when this was on the air (went to kindergarten the year it was canceled) and I have to say, Marlo was a complete knockout in those days.
I SEVERELY HOPE THAT THESE MORONS IN TODAY'S T.V. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING A REMAKE OF THAT GIRL. SEEMS THAT AMERICAN STUPIDITY IS COMMON THESE DAYS.................
Thanks for the memories!! I remember Thursday nights back in the prime time years. Thanks for keeping a window open to remember my parents, who also liked this show. They have been gone for quite a while, but this theme puts me right back there with them. God Bless You
Someone give me a tissue-I'm gettin' misty eyed! I was a grade school kid in the late 60s/early 70s and this song brings back so many happy memories of my childhood. Television was so good back then :-(
That Girl, The Monkees, Bewitched, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Love American Style, Flying Nun, Gilligans Island and the list goes on....
I guarantee nobody will be posting nostalgic memories on YouTube of the STD-ridden cast of The Jersey Shore forty years from now!
@jcbsebrigh I think marlo mentions a few times in episodes that she was in the neighborhood of 108 pounds - She was tinier than you think -- Small frame
@misterdirtyknees Really??? I always thought Don was 'too' good for Ann at times. Always bailing her out of any trouble she would find herself in. I will never forget the ending scene in the episode "Help Wanted" where he tells her to write dictation as his secretary, & the content of the dictation is an apology. Oh and also in "All's Well that Ends" where he puts an exhausted Ann to sleep and leaves this beautiful note on her bed. In my opinion, Don was amazing!
This has got to be my favorite television theme of all-time. The uncommon 3/4 time signature at the beginning, the AMAZING sound of a full orchestra, and Marlo's exuberant, smiling happiness in EVERY scene of the intro which makes it nearly impossible for YOU to not smile upon seeing her... a theme song would be hard-pressed to get much better than this.
The change to the 'new' theme song, which followed this one, was a mistake of MASSIVE proportions as far as "That Girl" was concerned.
Watching this as part of the after-school programming when I was a young lad in the early 1970's` I always wondered why her caricature was on that balloon, and how she could be in the window display. Oh to be young again and have that as a concern.
And amen again. I love the way both men and women dressed back then. I would love to see that come back. That is one reason old shows and old movies appeal to me. I hate the way me generation dresses.
i wish i could go back and bring that girl back to 2011. i would eat her pussy. i flood her with sooo mutch cum she would overdose of acute semen poisoning.....
I love looking @ women from the 40's, 50's, 60's..... they dressed with class and looked like a lady, not some tatooed, pierced, piece of trash.... Now filthy language and total lack of morals is the norm..... sad how we have "regressed" as a society.... I was born 50 years too late.....
@sterlinged - Amen, brother!! I feel exactly the same way - I was hoping that Mad Men would have encouraged women (& men too) to dress classy like that again, but alas - things have surely regressed as you said. Truly sad..
My favorite That Girl opening. I loved this when I was a kid--it started my New York City obsession that continues to this day. I saw Anne Marie running around the city all excited and I thought, "I want to go THERE!"
This show was really good and proved that you did not have to have jeanies or witches using their magic powers, or guys with bolts in the sides of their necks, in order to have an interesting show.
@imagefactories hi Robert, this show first started back in the 1960's it ran from 1966 to 1971..staring Marlo Thormas...thanks for your comment...really nice
@jcbsebrigh At 0:44, something clicked, having watched this several times the past 2 years - She is walking out in front of a BRAND NEW Metropolitan Opera House that just opened in Sept, 1966 ! ! ! NYC is showing off its proudest new landmark! And yet I've never lived within 1000 miles of NYC, just visited a few times. It's slipped my mind, but this theme's composer did the theme for the Flying Nun - amazing music on the little screen back then, & all compiled on 700 playlists at my channel
Danny Thomas was a Hollywood bigwig after the serial "Make room for daddy" and he was able to get his daughter Marlo in the door for this series. She had grown up around television and theater and knew how to act in production. The show was on par with "the flying nun" and "bewitched", but toned down to social situation and mediocre drama. The entire gestalt was altogether kind of mundane.
I was in love with her as a pre-adolescent growing up- The absolute embodiment of cuteness meeting gorgeousness in a woman. She had to marry that liberal bum Phil Donahue- still love ya Marlo.
I love THAT GIRL!! *insert Marlo Thomas' face*
