That Girl In The Park?

I don't recall ever reading or hearing this but I just today realized that one of my all-time favorite TV series, THAT GIRL, was perhaps inspired by one of my all-time favorite comedy plays, BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. The play premiered in 1963 and featured an independent, attractively ditzy, young woman in NYC in love with a rather staid, more conservative professional man...the same basic premise as THAT GIRL, whose pilot was shot in 1965 I believe and featured an independent, attractively ditzy young woman in love with a staid, conservative professional man. The clincher here would seem to be that just before THAT GIRL, Marlo Thomas had starred with acclaim in a production of BAREFOOT IN THE PARK in London!
