That Girl's Donald Turns Me On

I used to masturbate to Ted Bessell during syndicated That Girl re-runs.

Any other fans?

Didn't he also direct some of the episodes? And yes, he was hot.

by Anonymousreply 7March 4, 2015 11:48 PM

Odd that he died of the same thing as John Ritter -- aortic aneurysm. I thought they could treat those now.

by Anonymousreply 8March 4, 2015 11:57 PM

isn't that the same thing as a heart attack caused by too much cocaine use? He used to direct episodes of the Tracey Ullmann show.

Only if they catch it in time. If it bursts,you're fucked no matter what. My dad survived one six years ago.

No it is not caused by cocaine use. Idiot.

I used to love his perfect hair. His character was so ridiculously neat. I was like that when I was younger.

Here you go folks;

abdominal aortic aneurysm is an enlarged area in the lower part of the aorta, the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body. The aorta, about the thickness of a garden hose, runs from your heart through the center of your chest and abdomen. Because the aorta is the body's main supplier of blood, a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm can cause life-threatening bleeding.

Depending on the size and rate at which your abdominal aortic aneurysm is growing, treatment may vary from watchful waiting to emergency surgery. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm is found, doctors will closely monitor it so that surgery can be planned if it's necessary. Emergency surgery for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm can be risky.

He was hot. In real life, Ann Marie would have spent most of the time on her back with her legs in the air screaming "Fuck me Donald".

Yes, but not the re-runs -- the original episodes. I was 10 when it started its run in 1965/66. Loved the show and was in lust with Ted Bessell.

Thanks R9. That's where I got that idea.

Why do all of the good die young? Do you think he is in his coffin totally skeletor by now, or do you think he still has skin and liver hanging from his bones?

I tried occasionally to masturbate to Ted while freeze-framing my Betamax. I could never get past an imagine in my mind of an extremely unattractive dick and especially those sheep balls. I'm sure he was a very nice person though.

by Anonymousreply 24March 5, 2015 6:40 AM

Um.....what? Sheep balls? I always got a vibe that he was hung.

i liked that ted guy on merry tyler fap fap fap

by Anonymousreply 26March 5, 2015 8:08 AM

He was in that range where unconventionally handsome and unconventionally cute merge. He had that sort of full face with meaty cheeks that I have observed in more than a few well hung guys. Not technically "big dick face" but still an indicator of thick meat.

He was pretty sexy in the one episode where they had him in jeans and sweatshirt with mussed hair and beard stubble.

by Anonymousreply 27March 5, 2015 11:30 AM

He was not goodlooking. He was picked because Ann was supposed to be a virgin, so they had to have her with a guy that was ugly, so Ann wouldn't be climbing all over him.

by Anonymousreply 28March 5, 2015 12:08 PM

Remember when they tried to make him a love interest for Mary Richards, and he was so unbelievable in that role, (far too ugly for Mary) that they tossed him off after a few episodes.

Any show with a monkey sucked. Remember Greg Evigan in "BJ and the Bear." The only reason people watched is because the show had a lot of 1970s "jiggle."

Was that what Jonathan Larsen died of? Was his heart or brain?

by Anonymousreply 39March 5, 2015 3:06 PM

Correct, R37:

Larson died unexpectedly the morning of Rent '​s first preview performance Off Broadway. He suffered an aortic dissection, believed to have been caused by undiagnosed Marfan syndrome, in the early morning on January 25, 1996. New York State medical investigators concluded that if the aortic dissection had been properly diagnosed and treated, Larson would have lived.

He had been suffering chest pains and also had nausea for several days prior to his death, but doctors at Cabrini Medical Center and St. Vincent's Hospital could not find signs of a heart attack and so misdiagnosed it either as flu or stress.

In some episodes toward the end of That Girl's run, he wears tight pants that show a meaty bulge. Very handsome in a way the guy down the block (or when I was A kid) a friend's Dad was. He wasn't let go from MTM. It was always seen as best by MTM to keep Mary Richards single. Do we know anything about Ted's private life????

Ted always looked best when he wore a dubious,slightly disapproving expression. Made him look sexier and more dangerous.

Sandy Dennis was brilliant. Anything she was in, was worth seeing solely because of her. Ted Bessell could go jump in the East River but it's polluted enough.

I see it the other way around. There is no way an intelligent man like Donald, who was attractive and had a good job at a news magazine, would have dated a shrill, mugging, twit like Ann Marie no matter what she looked like.

The censors were quite adamant that anytime Anne Marie and Donald were alone in one or the other's apartment, the apartment door could not be shut.

I was too young to masturbate, but I do remember looking forward to seeing him when the "That Girl" theme song started. The Monkees' theme = Davy Jones. "From Seattle" = Bobby Sherman and David Soul. "A Family Affair" = Brian Keith. "My Three Sons' instrumental" = Don Grady. "Medical Center" = Chad Everett. "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" = Max Baer. "Flipper" = Brian Kelly. It must have been Pavlovian. No erection yet, just warm and fuzzy.

Donald Hollinger was so handsome and built and smart. Ann Marie was borderline retarded.

[quote]Ann Marie was borderline retarded.

Marlo Thomas was just another privileged homophobic breeder cunt hiding behind the guise of white female supremacy, which she erroneously called "feminism," to attack gay men. No one who was truly an ally of gay people would have treated her gay majordomo the way she did. Notice how she toed every party line, but her show wasn't all that funny, barely funnier than [italic]The Brady Bunch[/italic] or [italic]Family Affair[/italic]. Meanwhile, Mary Tyler Moore never actually called herself a feminist but her sitcom was eons funnier.

by Anonymousreply 65January 10, 2018 11:13 PM

1. Ted was fucking Marlo during "that girl,"

2. Ted wore y fronts and had a huge bulge.

3. Ted was straight but very gay friendly.

4. Ted was Catholic and not Jewish.

5. In the Pilot, Donald is supposed to be a talent agent and Native America and was named something like Donald Eagle Feather.

He was a pal ad I miss him. And that was his hair.

by Anonymousreply 66January 10, 2018 11:24 PM

He was thicc as fuck. The "That Cake" episode aired earlier today on Antenna TV, and I was quite taken by the sight of him in his super-tight khakis that clearly showed the lines of his briefs wedged up his phat ass as he walked away from the camera. There was a nice bulge up front too, despite restrictive briefs. I'd wager he was more girthy than lengthy, and that he probably had a set of tight balls.

by Anonymousreply 67April 20, 2021 12:42 AM

R66, the balding DL brigade is always quick to shout that a man with a full head of hair must be wearing a wig as if they can’t comprehend that some men don’t lose their hair. Some of us have thick hair all of our lives.

Furthermore to r61 (six years ago), Don and Ann were always alone with the apartment door closed. What nonsense. They even slept in the same hotel room (though not in the same bed) at least once when Ruth and Jerry were getting married and her father Lew showed up and essentially called her a whore. That was his main thing—always basically accusing his daughter of being a slut and Don of being a rapist.

Also, Ted was hot. People laugh at me for it, but, I found him attractive.

Bernie Koppel has quite a butt on him too.

by Anonymousreply 69May 26, 2021 11:02 AM

In the episode that aired yesterday, Donald was in a pair of tight double-knit slacks. In one scene, he was sitting wide legged and the pants hugged his big bulge nicely.
