Gidget launched the career of the ever-perky Sally Field (who decades later still looks like the sweetie-pie beach bunny she played in the mid-'60s series). The show is a valentine to Southern California, surfing, and plucky girl power--in fact, Gidget's self-aware musings and intrepid ways of getting out of trouble lay the groundwork for later TV heroines like Buffy and Veronica Mars. The show's aged surprisingly well, mostly because of the undeniable charms of Field, who seems to take her teenage "horror stories"--as when squeeze Jeff (a.k.a. Moon Doggie) is poised to return to Princeton and suggests they date other people--with a knowing grain of salt. The teen drama is all a bit tongue in cheek, since it's clear nothing will get our Gidget down for long. The dialogue is a real treat, a crazy mix of late film noir ("How old's the underripe tomato?") and pre-Summer of Love hipster California-speak ("Well, look at all the wiggy birds around here!"). The set includes all 32 episodes, with a short interview with Field, who has a lot of affection for her young persona--as do we all, Daddy-o. --A.T. Hurley

I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the episodes in this series that I used to love as a child. The stories are so fun to watch and Sally Field is utterly adorable as Gidget. I'm so glad this is now available since I haven't been able to find it anywhere on cable. I highly reccommend it to any of those who enjoyed the series like I did. It will not disappoint!
Great series! June 8, 2008

Gidget was a great, uplifting, lighthearted series back when it aired, and it was great to relive the times. Interesting that there were a couple of episodes that would have people up in arms today, but back then it was a more innocent time. Overall, great series, glad I watched them again, and then gave them to my sister Maryann for her birthday! :)

The color, sound and quality of this DVD set is a solid 10 out of 10. For some reason I do not remember watching this show when it was on TV in 1965. However it is easy to get hooked on this series. I highly recommend it.
