That Girl - Season 1, Episode 16 - Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid - Full Episode

[@markwhitman9029]

Almost induced tears. Ann was very sweet to help that child.

[@thestones8022]

It's Linus from Charlie Brown Christmas...

[@fromthesidelines]

"Charlie Brown! You're the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem! Maybe Lucy's right. Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie *Browniest."*

i like this episode

[@josepharturi5442]

The set for the school was very convincing . They went to a lot of effort for this episode.

[@phillypersonpretzel]

Fun Fact: Marlo Thomas actually held a teaching degree in real life.

[@gilbertmoreno3621]

Classic Marlo. Great Lady.

[@SJSUPhil]

Indeed.

[@molliwilson5639]

Great episode. Anne is so kind .. what a lovely episode.. “ they celebrated Christmas just for me”

[@phillypersonpretzel]

Christopher Shea did the voice of Linus in the Peanuts!

[@ginnycrooks6117]

I thought that was Linus' voice!

Originally telecast on December 22, 1966. James L. Brooks later reused the title {"Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid II"} for his December 19, 1970 "MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW" episode.

[@FigaroHey]

The boy who plays Roger (giving Ann a gift) later plays a boy who has a crush on Mary in the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

[@SJSUPhil]

I had a crush on Mary Tyler Moore too. And Marlo Thomas and Valerie Harper.

[@mikesmemoriesfromthepast89]

5:22 - Oh, dear! That's John Fiedler as Piglet from Winnie the Pooh! And he also appeared in 12 Angry Men, and The World of Henry Orient! I recognized him!

[@HB-bl5mn]

Better even, he was Eddie the sex-machine in Golden Girls. HaHa.

[@kevinlane7555]

She has such a good heart....and the Jewish family doing Christmas to help another child is priceless

[@GEKENILWORTH]

The title of this episode (Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid) was written by Jim Brooks. A few years later, when he was producing The Mary Tyler Moore Show, he wrote an episode where Mary has to work alone at the television station on Christmas Eve. Brooks used "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid" title for the MTM show.

[@Ali-gb7mf]

Great episode.

[@elaine.cammon]

my favorite episode of the first season ❤ 🎄 🎁

[@ironduke2000]

Featuring Mr. Marie, the psychic father who knows a call is incoming before the phone rings, and written by Jim Brooks, who later co-created The Mary Tyler Moore Show and wrote an episode of MTM entitled Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid II.

[@Lava1964]

I was about to mention the same thing: the phone did not ring. I've only seen that editing error once before in any TV show (the pilot episode of Ozzie's Girls in 1973).

[@fromthesidelines]

John Fiedler also appeared in the 1960 "TWILIGHT ZONE" Christmas episode "The Night of the Meek".

[@Lava1964]

Cute episode. I thought she was going to disable the furnace for sure!

[@francissandy4404]

Irresistible!😊

[@Hyungnam1970]

The phone doesn't ring just before Mr. Marie picks it up to talk to Ann.

[@JunoBeachGirl_]

This episode was one of the most well written scripts I have ever watched. It was extremely moving. What a message: The real reason for the Season… Children! Bravo! 🥹

[@randilevson9547]

Ann's father picked up the phone before it rang. Was he psychic, or did the director call "action" too soon?

[@annasantostefano6826]

Was just going to say lol

[@paulakpacente]

Having been a cook since I was 12 years old (I'm 70 now), I can't imagine that all she fed this kid were jelly sandwiches. At least he got some turkey or roast beef at the end.

[@sarahm.5356]

Maybe not!

[@Lisa1111]

Poor Linus ❤️

[@mrs.ericalaurenhornmason3825]

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄👼🏻🎄👼🏿

[@MuzixMaker]

Was that opening shot from 1947? 😂

[@lisacolavito8319]

Did you mean Eric Shea? Original voice of Linus.

[@annasantostefano6826]

I knew that kid sounded like Linus lol

[@alabamatrixie7379]

Christopher Shea played Linus, Google it

[@Hal09i]

Also the kid in "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972)

[@ssan3257]

Daily N as always! What about other people that are not represented at all on WOF?

[@DavidJohnson-dc8lu]

Not really a nice episode, no wonder why there are parents in old people's homes and their kids don't go to visit them.

[@shirleyminassian1547]

I agree, no matter what commitments you have parents should arrange to have their kids with them on certain occasions, it effects the children even if they don't admit it.

[@randilevson9547]

That Girl meets The Shining.

[@josepharturi5442]

I was thinking the same exact thing!

[@michellepost3098]

When they ate, they should have ordered a pizza. I never liked peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at any age.

[@leestamm3187]

Tastes differ. I've always liked PB&J.

[@ThePrincessCH]

Is that something they did in the '60s.

[@lisacolavito8319]

Never mind. I had the wrong actor!

[@hannablue7038]

boring episode

[@markwhitman9029]

You didn't understand the overall picture!

[@fromthesidelines]

Jim Brooks *never* wrote a "boring episode".

[@dahawk8574]

Willfully choosing boring is what makes this so beautiful.

[@molliwilson5639]

You’re boring!
