...shows either reflect or strangely caricature their times. In That Girl (1966), Mario Thomas played a single girl in New York City making her career, but always Mom and Dad hovered; her independence was somehow merely cute, a phase. In MTM, Mary Richards-Moore's character-gave a humanely plausible version of American women-some American women-in the early and mid-'70s. Not many, of course, are as lovely as Mary or as funny.

Decent writing and skilled direction might have come up with something admirable for its nerve if nothing...
...many ways there has been an about-face from the slurred-stoned cynicism of earlier album tracks like "Boogie Smoogie" the song about a juke box 'n jive joint during the Dog Days. The love-song "Neon Nights" seems to reflect the band's one-up-in-the-world status and if the romance of "two crazy people" on "a neon night" seems too-slick and too sacharin you can just see it as a stage, a step, that most groups take away from their beginnings...
