"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????"

"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!!"
Buy Season 1

"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"
Love "That Girl" reminds me of childhood.

"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"
