That Girl: Opening Night

That Girl: Opening Night
ABC
January 8, 1970
Sitcom
DVD
C+

In this middle of five Arnold Horwitt TG stories, Ann is nervous about opening on Broadway and finds it hard to relax.  Then she gets her finger stuck in, no, not a bowling ball, but the kitchen sink faucet.  She seems to have a dial-phone in the kitchen rather than a push-button like in the living room.  The scene of her trying to dial is cute, but otherwise there's not much to this episode.

Patty Regan makes her last TG appearances, as the Operator.  Vernon Scott is himself here but would be Reporter #1 later, while Army Archerd would go from appearing as himself to appearing as a TV Critic.  Gino Conforti is Nino for the third time.  This time, Bobo Lewis is Gloria at Ann's answering service, a role she'd reprise.  And it's Ted Bessell's 100th episode, since he missed a few of the early ones.
