    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In an interview featured on the DVD release of the series, Sally Field said she and Don Porter had a father/daughter-like relationship off screen as well. Field was new to professional acting and, due to nerves and inexperience, sometimes made mistakes that caused others to laugh at her. Acting veteran Porter not only took time to explain things to Field, but often sensed things she didn't know. In one instance during a cold read of the script, the word "symbiosis" appeared in one of Field's lines. Porter pronounced the word quietly so Field would know how to pronounce it.

    The Original Teen Comedy
    Long before shows like "Saved By the Bell" and "Moesha" we had Gidget. This was a pretty interesting look at kids in the mid-1960's and how teen-agers were looked at in those days. It was an okay show for its times, even though it did seem kind of corny. You never would have guessed that this would be the launching point for one of the finest actresses in her era in the person of Sally Field. She gives a good performance of everyone's favorite surfer girl and is probably her third most famous character behind "Norma Rae" and Sister Bertrille. Perhaps the funniest, as well as the most annoying, part of this series were her sister and brother in law. Anne was pretty much a control freak and along with her wannabe Freud husband John were the prototype yuppies before the term was even invented. This was definitely a product of its time.
