That Girl: Stocks & the Single Girl

That Girl: Stocks & the Single Girl
ABC
February 12, 1970
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This middle of three Bruce Howard TG scripts has Ann, Lew, and Donald playing the stock market, based on false tips.  I'm pretty sure I've seen this plot on another show, although nothing immediately springs to mind.  In this case, after a bit of worry (more on the part of the audience than on newbie investor Ann's), everything works out just fine, with gains rather than losses.

Jim Connell, who plays Jonas, previously was Harvey Miller, as well as nerdy Norman Crowley on Gidget.  Pitt Herbert, who's the finance writer Ben White, twice played Mr. Driscoll on The Brady Bunch.  This is the only episode that TG co-creator Bill Persky directed.
