Gidget was a very funny show with a very talented cast. Sally Field revealed herself to be a very talented actress at such a young age. Peter Duel was hilarious with his mugging and reactions. Betty Conner as Gidget's sister was very funny as well. Don Porter, who played her dad, was like a country club cardigan-wearing Ward Cleaver. This show was great and it's too bad it lasted only one season. Can you imagine Gidget 2013? Episode 1: Gidget supports gay and lesbian prom partners.
