Being a TV omnivore growing up, I'm sure I watched more than a few episodes of this show, but just don't remember much about it at all, other than Marlo Thomas was pretty charming. This sounds like a cute episode, and thanks for showing us what the kid who voices Linus looks like!Jeff Flugelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127134815672151999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984964138092970663.post-86798953978954906882013-07-19T19:02:30.612-04:002013-07-19T19:02:30.612-04:00Ha!

Fascinating that Jim Brooks wrote similar "That Girl" and "MTM" holiday episodes. I've always thought of "That Girl" as a sort of precursor to "MTM" - not to mention, "That Girl" was winding down just as "MTM" was beginning its run.

I didn't realize that Brooks had written it, but it makes sense -- it's just as memorable (if not as familiar) as the MTM episode.

And I love the trivia of the connection between that and the MTM Christmas show you mentioned. Really great stuff!<br /><br />Also, since I did my post for this event on Danny Thomas, I feel like you were talking about my daughter!<br /><br />Loved the visit - lovely choice for the blogathon!<br /><br />AuroraCitizen Screenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596338896095275116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984964138092970663.post-23086750160336041942013-07-15T19:34:39.218-04:002013-07-15T19:34:39.218-04:00Joanna, I thoroughly enjoyed read about this episo...Joanna, I thoroughly enjoyed read about this episode and was intrigued to learn about the James L.

When I read that Ann was telling about this event that happened three years earlier, I was waiting for the zinger at the end. Thank you for putting a face to the voice of Linus because "A Charlie Brown Christmas" warms me to the tips of my toes! toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.com
