The Girl with Something Extra is an American fantasy sitcom television series that aired on NBC for one season from 1973–74. The series was created by Bernard Slade and produced by Screen Gems. The show revolves around newlywed couple John and Sally Burton after John discovers that Sally has ESP and can read other people's minds. Sally's ESP became less of a plot point as the season progressed.

Despite airing after the popular Sanford and Son on Friday nights on NBC, the show failed to find an audience and was canceled at the end of the season because of low ratings. The show ranked 59th out of 80 shows that season with a 15.2 rating. A total of 22 half-hour episodes were produced.[1]
