She is always there for Gidget even if it sacrifices her own devices. I can even enjoy Larue for being the goofy yet sweet and dependable best friend.

He always had the right thing on his mind, and was that guy to go to if you really need help. They are always wise and calm, yet can be strict when the time comes. Gidget's father Russell was like many 60's sitcom dads. You might never know what Gidget would be up to next (unless you've been religiously watching reruns or on DVD.) Field really committed to the role, giving us some moments that make us laugh, some that made us cry and some in between. That's attributed to Sally Field in her first television role. In fact, on one hand, Gidget was utterly enjoyable and, at times, hilarious to look at.

She's pretty sophisticated and charming character who's up to learn about life and being assertive and proud of herself, with her family and friends by her side. Gidget may seen like a boy-crazy character of a 60's sitcom, but she's more than that. This show definitely had all a sitcom in the 60s had for the 18-49 demographic: the beach, hot guys, dancing like you're on American Bandstand, quirky best friend(s), and one or two parents that are always strict and caring. A look into the world of a normal, typical teenager going through things we went through as teenagers. It's Gidget.īefore there were shows like " Moesha", " Boy Meets World" and " Saved by the Bell", we had Gidget. One of the latter, this edition's show, was really bright (because it takes place at the beach most of the time), realistic (because some of the characters know how to surf) and it is silly (but not Batman or Monkees or Bewitched silly, but it's up there.) Also, as we heard from Seth MacFarlane at last years' The Oscars, the title character is played by the legendary and certainly hot Sally Field. The characters and plots were bright, realistic, and either gritty or silly. Bright sun-shinny days, happy kids having fun, dancing, surfing, Model-T cars, government, war, McCarthyism, segrega-uhh, anyway, the sixties were awesome not only in real life events (except the bad ones), it was awesome in television.
