That Girl: The Snow Must Go On

That Girl: The Snow Must Go On
ABC
October 30, 1969
Sitcom
DVD
B

All these "snow" episodes for TG, this one written by Arnold Howitt, and we're still in October.  Maybe it's meant to be set later, since Donald claims he's known Ann for four years.  Also, I could've sworn that Don had already written an article about Ann, in the first season or two.  I'm not clear if Lew is hoarding sandwiches for his family or if he was planning to sell them to the other people stranded at JFK airport.  I was going to go with a B-, but I found Ann's on-air audition very funny.

Counterman Danny Goldman had previously played a Waiter on TG.  Porter Steven Benson would later be Chicken Boy.  Rudolpho Hoyos is the P.A. Announcer and would later play Rudy Sanchez.  If the voice of John Stephenson as Howard Samrock sounds familiar, it's because he was a voice artist for Hanna-Barbera, including on Wait Till Your Father Gets Home.  This is around the time that reporter/actor Larry McCormick, here appearing as himself, was in the movie The Love God?, and he'd soon be on The Brady Bunch as a TV Announcer.  Milton Parsons, who plays Mr. Bailey the mortician, would play a similarly mournful-looking character on The Brady Bunch, Peter's teacher Mr. Price.
