Girl With Something Extra Opening Narrative

(John Davidson & Sally Field's voices as John and Sally Burton.)

John: Let me get this straight, you can read everybody's mind?

Sally: Of course not. Just some people.

John: What people?

Sally: Well, some people more of the time, and then some people some of the time, and a few people, most of the time.

John: What category do I fall into?

Sally: The last one?

John: Most of the time?

Sally: Yeah.

Girl With Something Extra Trivia

In addition to this series, Sally Field has also starred on "Gidget", "The Flying Nun", and "Brothers and Sisters".

Sally also hasn't done too badly for herself when it comes to her roles on the big screen either. As of the time of this writing (2008), Sally Field has the distinction of being one of only six actors/actresses to be nominated for two Oscars and won them both! (For "Norma Rae" in 1980 and "Places in the Heart" in 1985) The other five are, "Luise Rainer", "Vivien Leigh", "Helen Hayes", "Kevin Spacey", and "Hilary Swank".

The plot for the Girl With Something Extra TV show immediately brings to mind another show that ended in March of 1972 after a whopping eight seasons on the air! That series of course was "Bewitched" which also featured a young newlywed couple with the wife having super-human powers that caused many problems for her and her husband.
