I recently purchased this DVD and have been enjoying it so much since!!! I actually had been hoping that "Gidget" would come out on DVD for about a year or so. I didn't get to see it much when it aired in 1965-66 (perhaps another family member wanted to watch a western or another show). Anyway, I own it now and would highly recommend it to not only other fans of Sally Field, but to anyone who is interested in viewing a really fun example of what teens and life could be like in the 1960's! The words which best describe Sally as "Gidget" are adorable and charming and funny - in the best sense ever! She and her "Dad" are so sweet together. She and her best friend, "LaRue", get into comical predicaments together. It's all fun to watch! Sally portrayed this lovable teen with tremendous heart and soul, but her impishness and fun-loving personality shone through in every episode. What a treat to see this now when so many current television shows are blatant and disgusting! She is like a "breath of fresh air!" I love these shows - it's like living in the 60's again! Also, the interview with Sally Field is great, as well. Yes, she did enjoy playing "Gidget," and she has many fond memories which she shares. This is a great and entertaining DVD - I highly recommend purchasing it for yourselves! You will enjoy being taken back to a sweeter, more innocent time. And, don't we all need that?

What a wonderful DVD set. A flood of memories came back as I watched Gidget again (after over 40 years)... some of the dialogue is still sharp & crisp even by today's standards... the writers obviously were ahead of their time. Sally Field will always be Gidget for me... and even my husband, who never saw the series when it first ran, was impressed with several of the episodes. And the quality of the video is amazing. What an absolute treat !! I can't wait to watch it all again with my daughter Misha (who enjoyed the edited reruns on TV Land a few years ago). I highly recommend this complete Gidget DVD set... 5 stars and a HUGE THUMBS UP !!!

First of all, Sally Field was fantastic in this part - she was a surprisingly good actress and gets the maximum impact out of every line, delivering them like a pro. This is a teen comedy that stands out because of the good scripts, pleasant sarcasm in the dialogue, and acting of Sally Field and Don Porter. The series only lasted one season because its appeal never broadened past the teen audience - also, the teen world was changing rapidly in 1965-66. What was cool one week seemed like ancient history the next. A fun time trip to the past.

I absolutely LOVE this series!
I never saw the initial run and only finally got to see it
when re-runs popped up on the USA network years ago.
I had always been a fan of Sally Field (see my review of
"The Flying Nun"), but her presentation of that perky,
bright-eyed beach loving girl of Moondoggie, puts Sandra
Dee to shame! Sally is nothing but PURE DELIGHT in this
series!
I actually laugh-out-loud when I watch Frances Lawrence
(aka Gidget) take auto shop, become a singer for the "Gories",
writes her column as "Helpful Hannah", meets Jeff's parents
in a very awkward situation and the best by far, "TAKES A
LESSON" from guest star Paul Lynde.
The DVD set is as "perky" as it's star.
The interview with Sally is great. She enjoyed doing the
show and discusses her fellow castmates. She's as perky
as she was in the series.
YES SALLY, WE LIKE YOU, WE REALLY REALLY LIKE YOU!

...for finally getting this out on DVD, been waiting forever! Today's television is so horrible, trendy, will never hold up years from now when watching it! someone (all of 'em) in hollywood needs to really watch and remember when actors/actresses actually did their job well...one shining example is "Gidget".
