That Girl: Dark on Top of Everything Else

That Girl: Dark on Top of Everything Else
ABC
January 16, 1969
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This Carl-Kleinschmitt-written episode starts with Donald at Ann's apartment door, claiming to be Steve McQueen there to "ravage" her, and then about twenty minutes later her parents catch them kissing on a bed in their basement.  But in between it's mostly Ted Bessell directing Marlo Thomas as Ann, spending the weekend on her own in Brewster and she shows that she doesn't necessarily need a supporting cast every moment.  OK, her getting stuck in a bed while trying to close a window (I guess her parents never replaced the ladder she broke on Halloween) is pretty Lucy-ish, but I almost buy it.

Although he's uncredited, I'm pretty sure that's George Fenneman on Ann's TV screen.
