- Fifty years ago today, April 21, 1966, the final episode of Gidget aired on ABC television. Debuting on September 15, 1965, Gidget would run for just one season, but would go on to legendary status, primarily on the high energy, success and talent of the show's young star, Sally Field.
This video clip contains a fine interview with Ms. Field, and is a part of the extras on the Gidget DVD package, which comes highly recommended. The show can also be seen on cable TV each Sunday morning on Antenna TV (check local listing for time zone specifics). Check your Amazon or B&N source for DVD ordering information.
The show is very much a charming slice of mid 1960s teenage nostalgia, and unlike the movie versions of Gidget, this TV version focused much more on the father-daughter relationship, and with great success. The chemistry between Don Porter, who played Professor Russell Lawrence, and Sally Field as Francis Elizabeth Lawrence (aka Gidget) was priceless.
Enjoy - Gidget provides that wonderful opportunity to enjoy a time when the surt was always up, and every day seemed like an endless summer.

I love my Gidget. I grew up watching Sally Fields. Im now 58 years old. To this day. I love this crazy show.❤❤
One of the greatest actresses of all time - absolutely so!
Loved Gidget - still love Sally Field
In Pieces is her wonderful 2018 autobiography. Read it if you think highly of Sally and her work. I grew up watching tv in the 60"s. Sally grew into a very fine actor, after the tv stardom at such a young age.
she was so cute in this show.......major crush.....the most cutest girl on television
Watched it as a child in the 1960's my favorite show loved it!
I have always loved Sally Field in all of her roles. I also read her memoir, "In Pieces" and didn't believe it was so horrible. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about her life.
I read that book. It gave me another layer of respect for her! I also fell in love with her show. It's a bit odd in that it was trying to create a character with some depth, but was too little too late. The show really deserved another season, but It was cancelled before it caught on in syndicate.
Loved her hair! My hair was curly, which I love now but hated then. Her personality was adorable and endearing.
Sally still is one of the most attractive and beautiful women. I bought few Gidget DVDs some yrs ago because it never was aired here in Finland. The same with Gilligan Island. I don’t know why. We had Jet Jackson (Captain Midnight) which was my favorite #1. Also Sea Hunt, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Bat Masterson, Wagon Train, Bonanza, Batman, Agent 86, Peyton Place, Naked City, The Untouchables, Dennis the Menace (who was just like me), Higway Patrol, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Munsters, Dr. Kildare (me and my dad watched), Ben Casey (my mom watched), Invaders, The Outer Limits etc. etc. Those were the days!
It was Get Smart with agent 86 and 99.
"Places in the Heart" and
"Forest Gump" ... I don't know if you've seen them, but they're my favorite films of Sally Fields in the cast.
I always used to say that if I had a daughter that I would name her Sally after my favorite actress Sally Field. I never married though and all I have is one niece and four nephews. I read Sally's biography and her home life was really rough. No spoilers for people who haven't read it yet. You'll just have to buy it or borrow it at the library.
I loved the show! It was utterly charming and still fun to watch today. Sad about Peter Duel though.
Nobody can play Gidget as well as Sally Fields did a lot of people take my age in the year I was born for granted by the way to today because I'm only 32 and I was born in February 28th 1990 but I grew up with all these old TV shows like gidget just like my own parents did I also did watch the more newer stuff of my time but I mostly watched a lot of the old stuff and I prefer this kind of stuff over my own generation of movies and shows
JUST RECENTLY I WATCHED FOR THE FIRST TIME GIDGET SALLY FIELD AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH...SALLY FIELD SEEMS TO BE A REAL NICE PERSON. GOD BLESS HAPPY AUGUST 9TH, 2024.
I love Sally/Gidget
The object of affection for all the '60s boys!
And the standard for many of the girls. She was a cutie.
@@Tomes23 What a woman!
Never liked the Flying Nun but I ❤ Gidget and Sally
When she was "under contract" with Screen Gems, she went on to star in "The Flying Nun," a successful show which she really hated, decades before "Brothers & Sisters". She really hit the jackpot.
I love this show. It's so funny. My favorite episode is the one where Gidget can't remember her father's girlfriend's name. She was so good at comedy, even as a young girl.
Love Sally♥️
What a cutie
Looks like it was 🎥 in pismo beach. Looks like the coast. Any body else? I like her so much. The surfing part.
Cute and
Cool wow
Gidget was before my time, but I liked Sally Field in The Flying Nun and Smokey & The Bandit. It's un-American to dislike Smokey & The Bandit. LOL
Reruns are sometimes still shown on TV and clips can be seen if type in Gidget where it says search above video.
Simple lil Sally field
4:07 SALLY FIELDS!
Me gustaría ver la serie completa en español
❤💙💙💙💙🥧
Was it Gidget who would say "well" when asked a difficult question? If not, does anyone know which character she play when she said that?
Thank you for watching and for the question Mike. Gidget may have said 'well' from time to time... we think we said 'groovy' and other mid-1960s hip vocabulary as well.... classic! However, the person we think said 'well' (weelllll) often was none other than Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) on Bewitched. We think you may be thinking of the wonderful Bewitched. - Television Vanguard staff
typo made in prior comment... should have ready ' we think *she* said 'groovy'...
Toddles!
It’s toodles!
toodles!
This may sound weird, but I think Punky Brewster was probably influenced by Gidget. I see a bit of gadget in Punky and Gidgets dad in Henry.
so cute
👍
I have her book. She was just four when her parents divorced. Her mother married that man. I don't even want to say his name.🤮 Just read the book.
"The whole time..." 😡⚡
Why not share the show

She was 18 years old when she starred in "Gidget", September 1965. I love Sally Field! Great actress. Down to earth!!
