That Girl: Eleven Angry Men and That Girl

This time Stan Cutler and Martin Donovan come up with the comedy gold of Ann being the one hold-out on the jury in a spousal abuse case, in favor of the husband.  The man (Dick Wilson) allegedly hit his wife (Bobo Lewis in her second of many TG roles) with an ashtray.  Ann convinces the rest of the jury, only to see the husband hit his wife with an ashtray in the courtroom, as the laugh track chuckles!  The only reason I'm not going with a lower grade is I sort of liked it when Ann (gently) hits and tells off the letch Dave Ketchum (Jack Packard, his first of three TG parts), and I was pleased to see 28-year-old Stuart Margolin as the hippie Talley.

Joe Besser had previously played a Messenger and is the Jury Foreman here.  Joe Perry makes his second of four appearances, as the Bailiff.

This is, unless I've forgotten to tag something, the 200th sitcom I've reviewed.  That genre will continue to dominate my collection, although other things will be mixed in as we go along.
