The Ugliest Girl in Town
The Ugliest Girl in Town is an American sitcom produced by Screen Gems for ABC. It ran from September 26, 1968, to January 30, 1969. Synopsis. Timothy Blair is a Hollywood talent agent. He falls in love with Julie Renfield, a British actress who is visiting the United States to do a movie. After the movie is finished, she returns to England. To help his brother Gene complete a photography assignment, Timothy dresses as a hippie and poses for a photo shoot. The photos are sent to a modeling agent in England who assumes they  are of a woman. He offers "her" a job. Knowing this would be the only chance to go to Great Britain and be with Julie, Timothy accepts and dubs himself "Timmie". Timothy has two weeks of vacation to spend as much time with Julie as he can, but when he is about to leave with his brother, Gene loses £11,000 gambling. This, coupled with the fact that the talent agent discovers the brothers' ruse and demands to recoup his investment, means Timothy has to continue being Timmie for a while longer. Production. Although the series was bought by ITV  for British airings, it was never screened in the London area despite the series being both set and filmed there. The series theme song, written by Howard Greenfield and Helen Miller and produced by Bill Traut, was recorded by New York City trio the Will-O-Bees and released as a single by SGC Records. Reviews. In 2002, "TV Guide" ranked the series number 18 on its "50 Worst TV Shows of All Time" list.
