Summary: Fun 60's retro TV but this DVD does in fact contain glitches
Review: Frist off, That Girl is a fun retro television show.My complaint lies within this DVD pressing.There is a problem as others complained about soon after the 5th (Chicken) episode starts. They're is a bad layer change durning this show that may cause your dvd player to act crazy.Mine (Panasonic) was a problem where the picture started to jerk for the rest of the episode.I am surprized that this disc wasn't recalled by Anchor Bay!It's been out since 2001!Then again i haven't been able to locate this DVD in any stores in New York, so maybe it was...The people who say that they aren't having problems may have either haven't noticed this or have players that just didn't get affected by it.Something wasn't coded right at the pressing plaint.I love the dual layer format as long as they are encoded correctly.Also it has been a long time since this release of "That Girl - Vol. 1" doesn't look like it did too well since there is no mention of a second disc being made.

Summary: Which episodes?
Review: Here is a listing of the episodes of "That Girl" included on this disc:

1. Don't Just Do Something, Stand There 2. Anatomy of a Blunder 3. Counter Proposal 4. Call of the Wild 5. Nobody Here But Us Chickens 6. The Snow Must Go On 7. This Little Piggy Had a Ball (Rob Reiner and Teri Garr have a cameo) 8. Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman (guest starring -- you guessed it -- Ethel Merman) 9. Those Friars (Milton Berle and Danny Thomas guest star)

As for my opinion on the disc itself, I think it's a nice, well-rounded grouping of some of That Girl's best moments. Watching this disc, I like the show even more now than I already did. It was interesting seeing how Donald met Ann Marie, and the very funny episode where Donald is supposed to meet Ann's parents for the first time, but a run of bad luck seems intent on ruining any good first impression he might make on them. The episode where Donald finally proposes to Ann is included on here as well. Another thing I found interesting was seeing how much fashions changed during the show's run.

Summary: Diamonds Daisies snowflakes....
Review: I had NO problem playing the dvd disc. The dvd has episodes relating to the highlights of Donald and Marie's relationship. I would definitely recommend this dvd to anyone who likes "That Girl". It will bring back wonderful memories of the show. I hope the manufacturers of this disc decide to make additional dvds for the series.

Summary: That Girl is a must have DVD
Review: I had no problems at all playing the DVD, even on an inexpensive player. I loved seeing all the episodes on this DVD. I was especially pleased that the very first "That Girl" episode was included in the series. We all laughed and enjoyed the DVD quite a bit.
While I could have thought of many other of my favorite episodes to be on the DVD, this still was a decent selection. I look forward to more volumes in the future.
Making eveyone happy with their favorite episodes is asking too much from the DVD producers, especially considering licensing restrictions. One thing, I would have loved to see was some bonus material about the show, but even without, this is surely a DVD to be added to your TV Classics collection.

Summary: What's on the 2nd tape?
Review: I never missed an episode when the show originally aired! Ann Marie was a role model to me at a time when few good ones were to be found; and Marlo Thomas represented all the same admirable qualities in real life. I quickly bought every episode available on VHS and, later, the only DVD that, to date, has been issued. When will we see more on DVD? Is Anchor Bay Entertainment listening? There are many of us waiting for more!

Summary: Dual Formatting solution
Review: I too experienced playback problems with this disc but not until the last 2 episodes. Solution: I watched the rest of it on my computer. If you have a computer with a DVD player, the formatting no longer is an issue.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Complete Seaon DVD Boxsets Would Be Good!
Review: I was only a year old when That Girl was first shown on TV but I do remember watching the show when I was a little girl probably about 4 or 5 years old and thinking the show was pretty funny and I think I was about 7 years old when they first started showing reruns and I remember liking how perky and spunky Marlo Thomas's character Ann was and I also liked Ted Bessell who played Donald and I remember having a crush on him. I like that they have episodes of the show on DVD and I would love to see every episode put on DVD and I think complete season boxsets like they did with Mash would be really nice.
