Another in-joke occurs in this episode when Marlo bumps into the priest, she says, "excuse me, father", it is HER FATHER, Danny Thomas. So sweet.

[@markwhitman9029]

And Danny Thomas wasn't in the credits!!!?

[@docadams7099]

He also wasn't in the credits for his episode on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" ("It May Look Like a Walnut"). His appearance on that was pretty lengthy, as opposed to this cameo.@@markwhitman9029

Marlos sister her brother and father 🤍 wow

[@fridperon9593]

I dont remember is her sister really a nun .not sure.

.."well if she does I'm at *St.Thomas's"* ...

[@jvcomedy]

At the start of the episode when Ann is interviewing to be the "Pop Girl" there is a picture on the wall of the office of some horses and it's the same pitcture that hangs in Donald's apartment and the same picture that hung over the couch in the Petrie home in The Dick Van Dyke Show. Both shows were filmed at Desilu studios and you see a lot of the same props used from show to show.

[@tonybuc67]

The church she sings at she said is "Saint Thomas's" LOL I love all the inside jokes 🙂

[@lisacolavito8319]

I never got that

[@beverlydeutschman5627]

St Thomas's as her last name?

[@deeindu6616]

I believe it was the first season, one of the episodes that Rob Reiner was cast in. When they introduced the couple they were Carl and Estelle. That's the name of Rob Reiner's parents. Carl being well-known as the boss on the Dick Van Dyke Show. Estelle was a singer and MOST famous for her role in "When Harry Met Sally": "I'll have what she's having!"

[@davidfritz1331]

Tony Thomas is not only Marlo's brother and Danny's son, but he was also a big-time producer of many classic TV shows with Susan Harris and the late Paul Junger Witt, including "The Golden Girls".

[@buddybates3247]

Yes we were young and we didn't even turn around to be old. We just blinked. 💖

[@karenfitzpatrick6256]

Terre Thomas has the most BEAUTIFUL voice. She and Tony were the best guest stars on the series. This is one of my favorite episodes!

[@PaulManzi-gy6kc]

Ted had the best hair and hair cut for the 60's, he looked great all of the time.

[@c.a.g.3130]

That hair was my idol since I was 7 years old.

[@jvcomedy]

The character of Rose, played by Marlo's real sister has a "Danny Thomas nose" and if you watch old episodes of The Joey Bishop show that Marlo was a semi regular on you'll see Marlo also had the same larger nose so she's obviously had hers fixed sometime in the early to mid 60's prior to the That Girl show.

[@scottstacey7447]

The Nun is Marlo's sister Terre. The Nun's brother is their brother Tony and the priest that Ann bumps into is none other than Danny Thomas, Marlo, Terre and Tony's dad. And their mother is "in" this episode (Nun's name is Rose Casiniti, which is Marlo, Terre and Tony's mother's maiden name.)

[@peggyarnold4333]

That explains it! I was listening, but not watching, and noticed a similarity between Anne and Rose's voices.

One of my favorites. Her sister and brother were "terrific" but I loved the cameo by her father.

[@docadams7099]

Ann is interviewed by good ol' Henry Blake himself, McLean Stevenson. Around that time, he played Mike Nicholson on "The Doris Day Show" alongside Rose Marie, Doris Day, Tod Starke, and Philip Brown.

[@michelekurlan2580]

Luv her red dress and blue hosiery at the singing audition. The horizontal striped turtleneck in following scene great,too. Lotta retro cool frocks in this series. Gray dress with white belt ensemble. So many.

Terre Thomas has a beautiful, soft, sweet voice. None of Marlo's annoying scratchiness. The song she sang for the children, "Turn Around", made me cry. I believe Perry Como also recorded that song. So bittersweet. I think the wonderful Harry Belafonte wrote that beautiful song.

Marlo's a better actress, Terre's a better singer. And they also are practically identical. And they've got the same haircut. Definitely a family affair on this show.

[@docadams7099]

At the end of the show there's a reference to a TV show that was then popular, and on ABC, the same network as "That Girl". "The Flying Nun" aired on ABC from 1967 to 1970.

[@mikep5335]

I love at 13:00 anne says. "Woman? Lady? Girl. That's better." Talk about 60s sexism. A grown woman wants to be a girl, not a woman.

[@riverebec1]

Marlo Thomas's sister and brother were really good in this episode.

Tony Thomas is a very handsome guy. He looks more like his father, Danny, than his sisters do. Probably a good thing.

[@randilevson9547]

I think that the character Rose Cassanitti (Marlo's actual sister Terre) is the actual name of their mother. Also Danny Thomas's wife. A beautiful family. Tony the drummer is Tony Thomas, the girls' brother. The priest in the hallway that Ann calls 'father', is actually her father, Danny. The church is also called St. Thomas's. We get it.

[@scottstacey7447]

Not to mention that Ronald Jacobs, Executive in Charge of Production, is a first-cousin to Marlo, Terre and Tony and nephew to Danny.

[@Lisa1111]

That was Donald singing the "Pop" jingle and playing piano! "St Thomas" 😉 The entire family except mom.

[@scottstacey7447]

Terre's character's name--Rose Casanitti-----is Terre's mom's maiden name, so the "Mom" is in the episode as well.

Fun Fact: Casanitti is Marlo''s (and Terre's and Tony's) mother's maiden name.

[@el3353]

Who was marlo Thomas's mother?

[@michaelglass4701]

Danny Thomas

[@movierun]

Interesting to see Marlo's sister and brother both have the "Thomas nose", i.e. they did not have it altered with surgery like Marlo (who also had the family nose as can be seen in her early photos and TV appearances). I'm wondering if that surgery gave Marlo her characteristic squeaky, raspy voice as her sister seems to have a wonderfully smooth singing voice. Barbra Streisand famously refused to "fix" her nose as she was told it might affect her singing ability. Regardless of the reason, Marlo's cute, squeaky voice became an endearing part of her Ann Marie character.

[@victoriavictoria9693]

So right about Marlo's nasal voice.

[@johnny-becker]

I hate this new intro. I liked the first season's a whole lot better.

[@scottstacey7447]

There was another intro in Season 5 where they add the lyrics and a group sings "That Girl".

[@leestamm3187]

I was in college when the show was in prime time and watched regularly. I also like the first season intro better. I genuinely dislike the 5th season faux pop theme with the hokey, contrived lyrics. One of many things that went wrong in season 5.

[@michaelglass4701]

I love the second opening of That Girl

[@michaelglass4701]

I love this opening, I have the Ann Marie doll with Ann holding the flag, when words we're added to the opening, I didn't like it
