When Stephen Dunne is announced as the host of the "Mating Game," his name is given as Bob Williams. The end credits list his character's name as Bob Barton.
Its always funny how on these sitcoms about devoted couples-I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, That Girl, Bewitched, I Dream Of Jeannie-the couples never trust each other to be faithful.

@@preppysocks209 That's my point. They are actors so if someone calls you a jezebel in real life, it is l like they are calling you a "slut." In real life, your reaction might be "what did you just call me Mr. Man?" The character Ann Marie experienced so much sexism in the series and she always acted like it meant nothing.

Alejandro Rey is the actor playing bachelor # 2. He proved himself to be a male chauvinist years later, in real life, on the game show TattleTales, appearing with his spouse.
He played a major character in The Flying Nun, with similar traits. Here's his first appearance in the pilot: ua-cam.com/video/O_Ep22fnsrE/v-deo.htmlm12s
He was the stereotypical Latin lover type on the Flying Nun. Surprised those Sisters dealt with him at all. The nuns I knew from parochial school would have never associated with this guy, knowing how he conducted his private life.
Earlier in Season #1, Don wrote a piece about Ann for his magazine. It would be unlikely that the magazine editors would let him write a second article about her is such a short time!
❤ I can't believe I am up watching episodes of That Girl 👧. I used to love 😍 this show when I was a little girl. You never outgrow God (JEHOVAH-JIREH) and JESUS CHRIST. Sincerely 🍹 Minister Donna Camille Eckhardt 🍷 Founder of Effectual Fervent Prayer Ministry 🌟 .
Hilarious that huge tape recorder he lugs around to record conversations. What kind of reporter does that anyway? There's a simpler less intrusive device called a pen and notebook.Don needs to get counseling. He's way too jealous and insecure. "Load a revolver and leave it on the desk. I'll know what to do with it." That wouldn't be considered funny today.
Donald and Anne seemed to fight, break up, and make up, in every episode. The writers had to keep the sexual tension going. They couldn't do much else in television land back in the mid-1960's.
...Unless you were practicing New Journalism in the 60s-70s: Thom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson, Charles M Young, etc. They deliberately put themselves in the story.
@@Dee-x9f That's true. There was a time and place for the personal reportage style, but the journalist had to be extremely well-known, and be "out there", like Thompson, and Wolfe. And George Plimpton. Otherwise, objectivity is the prescribed standard of journalism. That is the way I was trained, anyway.
True, certain writers were well known by name and writing style but not visually. Images of them were not in circulation then and not often attached to their articles, if at all.. Maybe that was for privacy or safety or it was just not yet the norm.

A direct steal from the actual show, The Dating Game, which was very popular around this time. I wonder if any legal action was taken by The Dating Game producers.
Why in these 60s show did they always pair the female star with someone nerdy? Was that to make the males viewers better. As a girl, I always wanted Anne to ditch Don for someone cute.
Comment 42. Yes, you are correct, but this is make believe and anything goes! Go with the show or find something else to watch. I think you’d be surprised at the number of shows take liberties with their story line. It’s all in fun!
Ikr.....I can't tell you the number of yutzes compelled to point out that we are commenting on a scripted sitcom, and that these aren't actually real people. 🙄 One woman so annoyed me I replied: "Oh thank you for telling me. What's next---informing me that the sun is hot, water is wet and ice is very cold ???" She still sniped back at me Some people are just pathetic beyond belief. Smh.
Alejandro Rey (Eduardo) was a bit of a womanizer in real life. I heard him being interviewed, many years ago. Easy to figure out his attitudes toward women.
Love in the city. Nostalgic.
Love this show!! It is just darling!! Marlo is a doll... Don is so cute.. Lou is so funny!!! I still watch and record it!!! ❤❤😂😂😂....
Utterly charming! I loved this series so much. DA
I love Carlos being on the show. It's a funny episode.
My personal favorite That Girl episode.
Always loved watching Marlo Thomas in That Girl. In real life her husband, Phil Donahue just passed a week ago in Manhattan. N.Y. GREAT COUPLE!!
I wish all of these shows were on tv again.
To see an Hispanic on a major American sitcom was quite rare in the 60s. I'm glad it was Alejandro Rey.
Have you seen him in "The Flying Nun"?
She is so beautiful and adorable.
Absolutely love Season 1 theme song
Ann's blue eye shadow in the opening is beautiful and yet subtle.I am clearly enjoying the color I watched it in B an W
You'd have never imagined the show was funded by Clairol Cosmetics...;)

Alejandro Rey- Carlos from The Flying Nun. I had a crush on him when I was a very young girl 😂
I watched The Dating Game as a kid! Jim Lange was the host. 😂 ❤
That laugh track was on all the great shows, I dream of Jeanie comes to mind, my favorite Martian…
Yeah, that laugh track, so annoying.
I am a 61 year old man and I haven’t seen this show in over 50 years. Probably 52 years. I remember it! I thought she was so kind and pretty.
I'm 60. the last time I saw That Girl, the series was airing in reruns in my part of Canada. I was probably eight years old. I'm enjoying these shows too!
I watched the real Dating Game Show when new. I was a little girl then, late 1960s, early 1970s. I watched this new, too.
Holy cow! Check out the size of Don's "portable" tape recorder!
Bernie Koppel from The Love Boat 😅

At least Don knew he was being a jerk! Ann had a great way to get revenge too.

How many of these episodes did you add your comment to? Where do you find the time?
Last episode of first season, originally telecast on April 6, 1967.
Donald, usually level-headed, was a jealous jerk in this episode. Of course Don and Ann will get back together, for the sake of the sitcom.
In this one and the previous episode, Ann seems to be the more mature one. Don is usually the composed one. Nice switch up. ❤
Look at the size of that tape recorder as compared to what we use in 2024. Amazing.
I liked bachelor #2
Alejandro Rey!

Donald reminds me of Bryan Kohlberger.

Ann's seamstress is also Gloria, from Gloria's Answering Service, that Ann uses. Was Gloria moonlighting, or was that actress playing another part?
Funny, in episode 3, I think, she gets a sewing machine & now she uses it to sew Eduardo's shirt! 😂
To think they had a serial killer on the real Dating game
They also had Tom Selleck twice back in this era.
There were a lot of starting actors and actresses on the show to get screen exposure.
Yes they did!!! Scary !!!
Farrah Fawecett as well
Wasn’t it Ted Bundy?
I know!
How unprofessional can Donald be?
He’s a Pros Pro in today’s
Hodge podge ponytail bearded croc infested swamp we now are mucking around with.
The middle guy on the Mating Game is the guy from The Flying Nun. I just can't remember his name.
Many actresses did The Dating Game early in their career.

Sorely missed having music on the Mating Game.... 🤨
Bachelor #1's biggest selling point is he has a steady job?
bob williams mc,tv reporter on willy wonka and alice's thief boyfriend on the brady bunch..
Mark Malard!
Donald and Anne seemed to fight, break up, and make up, in every episode. The writers had to keep the sexual tension going. They couldn't do much else in television land back in the mid-1960's.
It is a conflict of journalistic interest, and unethical, for a reporter to be an active part of the story. Sorry to spoil this episode.
...Unless you were practicing New Journalism in the 60s-70s: Thom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson, Charles M Young, etc. They deliberately put themselves in the story.

Wouldn't it be rather difficult to get an "inside" investigative story if the reporter is "extremely well known?" Or is he or she in disguise?
True, certain writers were well known by name and writing style but not visually. Images of them were not in circulation then and not often attached to their articles, if at all.. Maybe that was for privacy or safety or it was just not yet the norm.
Oh dear god it’s a tv show
That Girl was produced by ABC, the same network that produced the Dating Game, the show this episode is parodying.
Alejandro Rey
I dont remember the name of that handsome latino.

Eduardo was HOT. 😍
