That Girl (TV Series) Don't Just Do Something, Stand There (1966) User Reviews

Groundbreaking

[safenoe · 9/10 · 7 May 2024]

I used to watch some episodes of That Girl when home from school, and perhaps I didn't quite appreciate back then. Anyway, for some reason I thought I'd see if any of the episodes are on the internet, and thankfully they are. I saw Don't Just Do Something, Stand There (the first episode of That Girl) recently, and Marlo Thomas was superb in her role as Ann Marie, an aspiring actress who is discovered while working in a hole in the wall shop on lobby of I think a 32 storey building. Anyway, lots of fun here, with misunderstandings around. I also liked it at the end when Marlo Thomas appeared out of character to welcome viewers to the next episode. A nice touch, and perhaps the cast of Friends should have done that at the end of their first episode.

54 years LATER - That Girl still CHARMS ♥

[Enrique-Sanchez-56 · 10/10 · 5 January 2020]

Just saw this episode again after 54 years, and I can safely say it was as charming as it was back when I was 10 years old! But now I understand all of jokes and situations!

Marlo had an effervescence that sparkled from every word she spoke. The striking difference in our culture after all that time, is somewhat sad. Yet, I can see where I got my first impressions of a million different things that formed my character and personality that were derived in small part to programs such as this.

It's a program that made me happy - and I am grateful for that to MARLO THOMAS and her comedic talents. And I am still happy today after watching this wholesome and funny first episode.
