everything's coming up roses

 


Suddenly on You Tube, there is That Girl, a hit situation-comedy that ran from 1966 to 1971.

    Some other classic TV shows that appear on You Tube have visual and / or audio glitches.  Or the theme song is cut off, or episodes are missing.  When you run into that you say, Well, I'm grateful I can watch it on here, anyway.  And you adjust your expectations.  "What you see is what you get," as they say.


But this collection of That Girl episodes goes from Season 1, Episode 1 all the way through.  It appears to be every episode.  And the sound and visual are just like you're watching it on TV.


It's from FilmRise and Paul Brownstein Productions.


Thank you, Film Rise and Mr. Brownstein, wherever you are....


What a wonderful show.

They had guest stars sometimes, including Ethel Merman.  And some actors who appeared on the show were the opposite of Ethel Merman, in the sense that instead of being already a big star so it was cool to have her on there, they were not stars yet, and being on the Marlo Thomas sitcom was one of their early acting jobs -- Richard Dreyfuss, McLean Stevenson, Rob Reiner.
