That Girl - Season 3, Episode 6 - Secret Ballot - Full Episode 

*@markwhitman9029* Do you know who some of them were? *Reply to:* _"Many future stars got their start with That Girl!"_

George Carlin, Ruth Buzzi, Terri Garr, Sally Kellerman, Avery Schreiber, MacLean Stevenson. Probably more.

@@randilevson9547Also Penny Marshall, who was in this episode. 👍

Yes, she could have turned 21 right after the 1964 election, making her almost 25 for the 1968 election.

It was 1972, not 1968. I was a senior in highschool. It was my first time voting.

@@galegibbs5946 That Girl ran from September 1966 to March 1971.

Marlo Thomas actually did have a teaching degree in real life.

@@mikegriffin415 Yes. I know. But 18 year olds voted for the first time in the 1972 presidential election.

no but they got their revenge!

I noticed her, too. Maybe her first speaking role. "Who?" 😂

@@HB-bl5mn :-)

She was 26 when she began the show

I think she went to college? Season 3 would have been the 1968 election.

Voting age was 21 until the 1972 election.

She said it was her first time voting for president. If a presidential election falls right before your 18th birthday, you would be 22 before the next presidential election came around.

You could not vote unless you were 21 until 1972.

Also Florence Halop from Night Court

I saw that on IMDB, is Penny Marshall the girl walking from right to left behind the old lady at 1:33?

That's his character. It's not something that changes from episode to episode. Not sure how old you are but there are many people out there like that especially back in the day. And even farther back than that. The writers are not unimaginative nor do they lack fresh ideas. This is how they wrote him and that's how he stays for the entire series.

@@amyfitts2447 sorry, but I have to disagree with you. I understand that characters stay the same throughout a series however they never change the plot when he's in it. It's always him meddling in Ann's life and him not liking Don.The entire episode revolves around that same theme. The settings may be different from episode to episode, but the basic idea doesn't.Same story with just a different setting. I find it boring and unimaginative. It's just my opinion. Doesn't mean I'm right or wrong as it's an opinion. I have noticed in the 5th and final season he has become a little less annoying so I'm wondering if they got similar feedback and were trying to soften his character and shift gears a little. BTW, I'm older than Ann's father is in this show.

@@jvcomedy that's my point. He is the same throughout the entire series. His whole focal point is his daughter and he has strong opinions. Yes he does meddle and he doesn't like her boyfriend Donald. I understand what you're saying with regard to the different plots each time he is in one show. I don't think they ever intended for him to have any other storyline. However in some of the episodes I've seen lately, he has changed a bit, which you mentioned he did in season 5; he acknowledges Ann being more of an adult capable of making her own decisions and acknowledges he is difficult. Of course he could have had more of an input on his character due to his contacts on the show. It would be interesting to discuss this with the creators.

I never liked him no matter what he was in.

@@petegregory517 I didn't dislike him but not a big fan either. Too negative about Don who was great for Ann and he treated Ann as if she were in grade school. That got repetitive and boring. Loved Mrs. Marie!

I loved it. I saw it in reruns when I was 11 or 12, and it got me thinking about voting. I couldn't wait...

She said voting is a sacred trust. So true. Love Marlo Thomas.
