I loved the series as a child during its first run. Buying the DVDs seemed like a great way to bring back the fun of the 60s and early 70s. In retrospect, Marlo Thomas is a fine actress and comedienne but the majority of the episodes portray her as a scatterbrained, flighty, bird brain air head! If I had been Donald I would have broken up with her after the first few dates! The character is beyond annoying! She gets on your nerves and one just wants to slap her most of the time. There are some episodes that are charming where her character is lovable and endearing but these are the exception! And forget the independence nonsense. She couldn't do anything without Donald. He was the glue that held the show together, in my opinion. Taking nothing from Marlo Thomas's portrayal, I'm sure Miss Thomas is a nice lady but I want to shake "That Girl" into sanity. They really should have gotten married at the end since I don't think anyone but Don could tolerate her excitability and air headedness for more than 5 minutes!
