No offense intended, but in regards to the other reviewers who haven't figured out why introductory DVDs of shows are being released...it's to INTRODUCE people who have never seen the show, or haven't seen it since its original airing. If you're a diehard fan already, then you already know you can skip the intro DVD, and go on to the complete volumes. (Duh!) Let's stop picking on the producers who simply want to attract more viewers, who might not be ready to invest in 20-30 episodes. I am so glad they're doing this finally. For example, I fondly remember watching "Alice" after school as reruns, back in the 70's. So, I got the intro 6-episode DVD. Am I glad I did, instead of buying a whole season: I don't care for the show nearly as much as I did 30 years ago! I DO love "That Girl," though. Marlo Thomas was a ground-breaker with this progressive show for its time. She was TVs first truly independent woman. She had to open the door before Mary Tyler More could walk through! She's all for women's liberation, yet she does it so tastefully and adorably. She's Ann Marie, and she's free-spirited and bubbly, a fun-loving extrovert with an amazing wardrobe. It's a show that showcases all the fabulous 60's styles! If you love the 60's or remember liking this show, go ahead and spend the measly cost for this intro DVD. You will not regret it. If you go on to buy the series, pass this one on to someone new. Yea!!

Why are the DVD fairies wasting their time working on releasing only a part of Season 1 when the ENTIRE first season has already been released and is currently avaiable for anyone and everyone who wants to acquire it. Would it have not seemed more logical to spend their time and effort working on getting Season 4 ready to be released for those of us who are presently still waiting????

Great product, we loved this DVD, excellent quality, good color, just like the show. I bought this to share with my 7 yr old daughter, we love the old stuff, it's so clean, language, situations and all. Thank God for good old TV sitcoms and Family drama. It's what we need in this world again. Order this you won't be disappointed!!! Thanks, from Tennessee

If you are curious about That Girl, you should skip merely buying this DVD since it's only the first DVD in the boxset and get Season 1 of That Girl. You must behold the Impeccable hair of Ted Bessell

Do yourself a favor and buy the complete first season. You will surely want it after seeing these few episodes. It will cost you a lot more to buy it in this broken down form. The original box sets are very well thought out and produced. Whose dumb idea was this anyway? Why not leave well enough alone and bring on Season Four already?

This was not my first time buying 'sampler' DVDs, and I'm fully aware that some 'first season' broadcasts were mid-season replacements. However, normally 'season one' means a compilation of easily 6-8 episodes. This was a great disappointment. Only four episodes are included.

I well remember enjoying "That Girl" in its first run, and had not seen it in years. I'd expected a pleasant trip 'down memory lane.' I regret now that (since, as it true of many, I cannot afford Netflix or $36 DVD sets) I'd purchased what I thought could be some enjoyable breaks, only to find just four episodes, and those before the characters were well-developed. Even at this price, it is not worth the money.

I remember this show as a little boy so i bought the 1st. season because it was a real bargin price,the following eposides we're quite a bit more than this and thats why i made the purchase...and it was a wholsesome show of that day just like gidget with the very popular sally fields...

THAT GIRL is one of the benchmark sitcoms of the 1960's, starring adorable Marlo Thomas as Ann Marie, an actress looking to make her mark in New York. Ted Bessell is Ann's ever-faithful boyfriend Donald Hollinger. This DVD presents four episodes from the landmark first season, along with some great extras. THAT GIRL's die-hard fans will definitely want to spring for the complete sets instead, but for casual viewers, or buyers wanting a small "sampler", this DVD is a good start.

Episodes:

"Don't Just Do Something, Stand There" - The show's debut "preview episode". Ann Marie first meets Don whilst filming a commercial in the lobby of his building.

"Good-Bye, Hello, Good-Bye" - Ann Marie leaves her small town of Brewster to seek fame in New York.

"Never Change a Diaper on Opening Night" - Ann's audition for an acting job is almost ruined when she has to fill in as a babysitter at the last moment.

"I'll Be Suing You" - A pedestrian, pushing a sewing machine, runs into Donald's car and sues Ann.

Extra features: The original THAT GIRL pilot episode, which casts Ted Bessell as Ann's agent Don Blue-Sky; retrospective featurette "That Show...That Woman...The Creation of That Girl", "That Girl in New York" (a collection of outtakes from the New York location shoot), original network promos; plus audio commentary with Marlo Thomas and co-creator Bill Persky on "Good-Bye, Hello, Good-Bye".

I thought I was buying all of the first seasons...if I had read the reviews here I would have known...fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's like re-living the 60's and 70's all over again. Brings back great memories - the cars, the clothes, the music, the way people acted (all of which I dearly miss)!
