That Girl - Season 2 (1966)

Very funny and entertaining!

I used to watch That Girl reruns when I was a little girl. That Girl was made way before I was born, but I really enjoy watching all the episodes. Donald is truly the ideal and perfect boyfriend because he accepts Ann as she is and does not try to change her.I highly recommend this DVD collection. You will not regret the purchase and most of all they do not make these kinds of shows anymore. Ann Marie is a great role model for many young women such as myself. She is saying that a woman's purpose in life should be more than being a mother and wife. We have the potential to succeed and become professionals too. July 1, 2008

THat Girl

I grew up watching this show.I was born in 1964 two years before it aired on television. It was nice to watch the first two seasons one and two. That Girl is the kind of show that everybody should watch. I have already
ordered That Girl Season three. I should get by the end of next week. June 19, 2008

Enthusiasm and drive in a '60s package

Marlo Thomas returns as perky Ann Marie in the second season of this memorable sitcom.

Ann's journey toward becoming an actress leads to many hilarious adventures - usually along with her dry-witted journalist boyfriend Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell).

Memorable episodes include "Thanksgiving Comes But Once a Year, Hopefully," in which Ann cooks for the Maries and the Hollingers, with hilariously disatrous results; "The Collaborators," in which Ann and Don attempt to co-write a play; and "Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman," in which Ann meets her Broadway idol.

Of course, each time Ann comes within a breath of possible stardom, she generally winds up losing it due to some unforeseen circumstance. It doesn't make viewers love her any less; instead, they continue to root for her, sure that the next episode will bring her everything she's ever dreamed.

This box set also includes a bonus feature, in which present-day Marlo Thomas comments on her experiences within a series which really broke ground in how female television characters were portrayed. 'That Girl' lead to 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' a decade later, which in turn lead to countless modern shows viewers often take for granted.

All in all, this collection of DVDs is guaranteed to be worth the investment!

Oh Donald!

I remember watching re-runs of That Girl as a young teen and loving it. I have ordered and viewed all three seasons of That Girl and have loved every minute. What memories of television comedy at it's best. Cute, funny and entertaining. I actually caught myself laughing out loud. The innocence is wonderful. I love Ann's clothes; how she could afford her dresses with matching accessories on her slim budget is still confusing, but so much fun to view. If only we could have television shows like this now.

Great opening, Wonderful comedy, It's That Girl!

My review from Season One is basically the same for Two and Three. My only question is why Bonnie Scott and Dabny Coleman left the show after season one. I thought they were great. You do see more of Bernie Kopell in season 2 as he and his wife become Ann's neighbours. All in all a great collection... worthy, a piece of American Pop Culture.

I will repeat my complaint from the first DVD... why no subtitling? Beyond that, it's top drawer. January 19, 2008
