    Premise: Girl from the suburbs moves to New York City to advance her acting career.

Why That Girl might be annoying:

    Carol Ann Daniels was replaced by Alice Borden for the role of Ruthie Bauman.
    Marlo Thomas did gain publicity for being the daughter of comedian Danny Thomas.
    In the pilot, Ted Bessell portrayed Anne Marie's agent Don Blue Sky and was referred to as part indian.
    Lew Parker replaced Harold Gould as the overbearing father from the pilot.
    Anne Marie was way too perky.
    Considered she was a 'starving' actress who took odd jobs, she had a New York City apartment and an incredible wardrobe.

Why That Girl might not be annoying:

    Girls watched to see her trendy short mini skirts. Boys also watched for the same thing.
    The show always started with a situation in which someone would point to Anne Marie and say 'That Girl.'
    It started a TV trend of independent young women.
    The series has numerous scenic shot of New York City.
    Although Anne Marie was the complete name of the character, it boomed as a first name for baby girls born in the late 60's.
