Yes the theme we see is that it starts out presenting that she doesn't want to ever get married because if she did chances are that she'd have to become a housewife.But by The TV Series' end She that is Ann Marie and Don do get married.Also as I read in People Magazine both Reunion Movies "That Girl Today." and "That Woman." were in The Works but then sadly Ted Bessel who played Don Passed away at the age of 64 years old.These I know really would have each been something and whether or not something else too..The Openings are always cute with the questions in conclusion saying "That Girl."Then leading to the catchy theme song then a few seasons to follow don't have the theme song being sung but just the theme music being played.Among the stuff that might be meant to be funny might be When"That Girl." upon being asked her name and she says "Ann Marie." Then is asked "Ann Marie What?" Then she say "No it's Just Ann Marie and my Father is Lou Marie."But you might still for any reason like for the fun of Nostalgia's sake play these Episodes and Openings on Youtube and/or Hulu.Truthfully,Stephen "Steve" G. Baer a.k.a. "Ste" of Framingham,Ma.USAP.S.As I've told on IMDb before I get Ste as The Result of my Big Brother J.Kevin being a year older that me and unable to say Stephen at the time.Also chances are if anyone out there heard of another Ste before or after me then chances are he copied me.P.P.S.In My Gym Class in The 9th grade and sometime after The New Year of 1979 when The Gym Teacher was doing a demo for square dancing and in conclusion saying something like we'll match up This Boy with This Girl.Meaning yes I was That Boy and that she was That Girl.

6-13-2015I Have been watching that girl on metv in Denver Colorado, and thank god that girl Marlo Thomas has re-awakened such loving memories and feelings! i even love the theme song!I i grew up in the 70's and as a teen no matter how crummy my days were that girl Marlo AND Ted were really encouraging for me. my looking forward to such a loving relationship they both had, and i really could feel the love they both exuded on TV. I looked forward to growing up and moving out and being independent and selecting my own clothes and styleeven today at 57 years old as of 6-12-2015 i am still looking for that type of love relationship Ted and Marlo portrayed. better yet i am still working on being the type of woman i want to be regardless of the harsh realities of love and life disappointments.I had no idea Ted died back in 1996. their love and friendship was so heartfelt for me, and i wonder how close if at all they were after the show...finally the story writing and presenting was so cleaver, how the credits were in the opening of the show, in stop sign fashion, man i long for that creativity in the shows of today...and if i had 1/2 the relationship she had with her father on that girl, i might not have needed so much therapy..thank you that girl, you made a difference in my life, and god bless your heart and soul Ted....you are missed.love you both from the 420 state of Colorado

One TV Encyclopedia I consulted claims that since THAT GIRL was canceled in mid-season in 1971, there are "lost episodes" which were never aired, having to do with Ann and Don's wedding plans. IS ABC/TVLAND holding out on us? Can any one confirm or debunk this? As I recall-being 10 years old at the time---the couple spend that entire season looking at furniture, dreaming of a new house, pricing the wedding dress, etc. Also, I find it strange, given that the two are engaged during the last season, that Marlo Thomas supposedly demanded the marriage never take place? What was she going to do; have Ann leave Don at the altar?

I love this light hearted comedy. Marlo Thomas is so sweet. Her wardrobe was very hip! She wore the coolest clothes. The show had many guest stars like her dad Danny Thomas, Ethel Merman, Milton Berle,and Sid Caesar. Ted Bessell was the perfect choice to play Ann Marie's boyfriend. They had a wonderful chemistry on screen and remained close friends till his death in 1997. Season 1 & 2 are available on DVD now. So go and buy them and enjoy! The show took our minds off of what was really going on in the world. The Vietnam war was raging, the civil rights movement was tearing the nation apart, and Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were murdered during the shows run from 1966-1971.
