Gidget Review

This series came out when I was around five years old, and for some reason I still remember it.  It certainly wasn't because I liked it but maybe because the following year Sally Field returned to ABC with "The Flying Nun," a series I and other kids enjoyed at the time. When I saw that there was only one season for "Gidget" and that it was being released on DVD in its entirety I decided to get it for my TV shows on DVD collection.

 Well, forty some years haven't changed my overall opinion of the show.  It is a struggle to get through each episode because the show simply isn't that funny or entertaining.  However, one can appreciate the fact that the 1960s are forever captured in these episodes.  You can enjoy everything from the bikinis and swimsuits of the day, to right down to the food products Gidget eats like Golden Creme ice cream, a half gallen round container we used to buy for ourselves back in the day with that same same design.

 I know "Gidget" is popular with a lot of people but just not me.  Lastly, let me say that the film prints of each episode are in pristine condition.   I doubt this will ever be re-issued on DVD again so grab the set while it is still available.
