That Girl: Break a Leg

That Girl: Break a Leg
ABC
November 10, 1966
Sitcom
DVD
B

This is the episode where a very clean-cut George Carlin suggests Marlo Thomas push Sally Kellerman out the window, but this proves unnecessary because Dabney Coleman diagnoses Sally as having the measles.  Besides the OMGness of the casting, I think the story is solid, with Ann as understudy to her old friend who's making her Broadway debut.  Speaking of debuts, this is Carlin's very first screen credit, as Ann's agent.  It's also notable that Ann is still enough of a theater newbie to not know even such common superstitions as wishing someone luck with the episode's title.

This was Arnold Margolin and Jim Parker's second TG collaboration.
