Guest Chaney Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 I was very young (born 1960) and loved this show at the time it first aired (1966-1971) so please tell me I'm not insane for ordering season one of That Girl, set for release on May 16, 2006. That Girl ran five seasons on ABC (following Bewitched) from 1966-1971 at a time when the three broadcast networks captured 95% of the viewing audience. Marlo Thomas’ character, Ann, was groundbreaking as an independent female forging her own way and forever changed the manner in which women were portrayed on TV, influencing the development of many of the other successful female-lead shows that followed, from The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Kate & Allie and more. Wildly popular, That Girl received four Emmy® nominations, as well as a Golden Globe Award for Thomas for Best TV Star Actress. The That Girl cast included Ted Bessel (Hollinger), Ruth Buzzi, George Carlin, Dabney Coleman, Rosemary DeCamp and Lew Parker (Lou Marie) and featured such notable guest stars as Milton Berle, Ethel Merman, Carl Reiner and Danny Thomas (Marlo's father). This 5-DVD box set features all 30 half-hour episodes from the historic first season plus: Original That Girl pilot episode"The Making Of That Girl Featurette" with Marlo ThomasThat Girl PromosThat Girl In New York with Marlo Thomas and Bill PerskyAudio commentaries with Marlo Thomas and Bill Persky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're NOT insane. A tad sentimental, perhaps, but not insane. I was born in 1961 and was also a big fan of the the show. The opening sequence used to kind of hypnotize me. I can't remember any of the plot lines though, and don't know how the show would hold up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Just rented I Am Cuba by Mikhail Kalatozov (1964). Definitely interesting. I'm still deciding what I think about it. I guess I generally agree with the reviews that call it a stunning artistic achievement - fantastic camera work heavily influenced by La Doce Vita -- that strains against the political agitprop content of the movie. It's certainly a good looking film, shot in black and white. Worth a look I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Bessell always annoyed me, even when I was a kid. Marlo was cute, though. I have no desire to revisit this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Was Ted Bessell "Donald," the boyfriend? If so, yeah, I wasn't a fan of his either. Sort of a sub-Tony Roberts. I have more desire to revisit the cartoon show Fantastic Voyage (which I know will look like shit to me now) than That Girl. But I still remember that theme song.

You nailed it Bruce. I have a vague memory that Bessell appeared on Mary Tyler Moore's show as a suitor for several episodes. I was a little disappointed that Mary would even consider this dork.

I was a little disappointed that Mary would even consider this dork. I believe you're right! I'd also have to say that Bessell's appearance on the MTMS coincided with the show declining a bit, or at least getting tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I was a faithful viewer on The Mary Tyler Moore Show but to this day, I still can't mark the episode which introduced the Ted Bessell 'Joe' character. I believe he finally left when Mary realized he would never make a commitment. Sounds like I'm in the minority but I liked Ted Bessell in That Girl. (I was very young...) A sub-Tony Roberts? Gads! To be below Tony Roberts is quite the feat! (Liked him in Star Spangled Girl -- was Sandy Duncan ever again in a movie in which she qualified as being hot? -- and as the mayor's assistant in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three... OH! and as Woody's sidekick / best friend in what seemed like half his movies.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Wood Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I picked this up - the Complete Planet of the Apes set. It's for freaking completists, but I love it. The movies, not the packaging. I have to hide the Cornelius in the closet, cause it's freaking me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricia Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I just got the 2 disc DVD of Sergio Leone's "Once Upon A Time In America." I saw this when it was first released in theatres and it remains one of my favourite gangster films. It stars Robert De Niro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern and a ton of others. Leone re-cut it to standard length, on pressure from theatre managers. It was a butchery, in that it became an incomprehensible mess. The original is told in flashback and spans the lifetimes of the main characters, kids from a Jewish neighbourhood at the turn of the twentieth century. If you thought the original, uncut version was long, even though it had an intermission, this DVD release is slightly longer and includes scenes not in the original, as well as many extras.
