That Girl: Write is Wrong

Horrible or wonderful?  Late '60s
TV fashions are at least interesting.
That Girl: Write is Wrong
ABC
November 6, 1969
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This is set a few months after the previous episode and has Don, at Ann's urging, turning his article on being snowed in at JFK into a sitcom script, only to have the script completely rewritten.  The self-parody could be sharper but it's not bad.

Forrest Compton plays Jonathan Adams here and would later be George Phillips.  Arthur Julian, who's playing scriptwriter Milton East, wrote three TG episodes and had three earlier roles.  William Schallert is Harry Cook.  And Alice Borden takes over the role of Ruthie Bauman (helpfully introducing herself at the door as Ann's best friend).
