Fun episode!

I really enjoyed this episode! I know they use this story line from time to time (Donald finds another man in Ann's apartment and gets jealous), but it's well done here and lots of fun!

I loved Hal Buckley as Detective Ray, he had definite chemistry with Marlo Thomas (Ann). His character was one of the few who could have given Ted Bessell's character (Donald) a run for his money! Handsome and sweet.

Lousy. Another pedestrian script full of juvenile compromising situations.
LarryBrownHouston18 January 2008
Synopsis: When Ann gets an obscene phone call a detective comes and spends a few nights with her.

Larry-view: There's not much value to this one. Once again the script spends most of its time putting Ann into compromising situations with guys forced to spend the night at her apartment, Donald walking in on Ann and another guy, etc. That might have been shocking, titillating, or giggle inducing in 1966, but not anymore, so all of that value is lost. It all happens in Ann's apartment so there's no location footage. We get one hunky guest star detective. It's just not funny and that's a problem.

Someone mentioned that this episode does not use the "That Girl" gimmick in the opening, but it does. We, the audience, are who says "That Girl." They keep stretching themselves to find new ways to use this gimmick without repeating themselves. I wouldn't put it down as classic creative comedy, but it's fun.
