Gidget: Beach
built 179 days ago
Don Porter and Sally Field. Gidget is about the father-daughter relationship between Frances "Gidget" Lawrence and her father Russell Lawrence. Episodes follow Gidget's adventures in school, at home, and on the nearby beaches. Russell Lawrence has much ado guiding his daughter through her fifteenth year while his married daughter Anne and her husband John offer child-rearing advice. Gidget's friend Larue sometimes takes part in her escapades. Episodes typically end with Gidget receiving moral instruction from her father and gaining wisdom from her zany experiences.
Gidget's fully secured front yard is a wonderful relaxing spot for you and your pooch to catch some rays and watch the world go by. It's so close to the beach that you can hear the sound of the surf inviting you down for a stroll or even a dip!
While other girls are filling out their bikinis and laying on the beach, Gidget, with her flat chest and bottom, feels left out. At the beach, she feels the worst, as no boys pay attention to her boyish figure. Bored and lonely, she goes swimming in the ocean. When a cute young surfer rescues her from a tangle of seaweed, she decides then and there to learn to surf. Eventually, she learns the basics of the sport, enough to return to the beach and make friends with the local surf gang. In the gang is her rescuer, Moondoggie, and the gang's leader, The Big Kahoona.

Gidget avoids her sister as much as possible, usually by heading out to the beach with her best friend Larue (Lynette Winter, Petticoat Junction). To Gidget's continuing dismay, Larue, who says she is allergic to the sun, won't expose a single inch of her flesh on the beach. This means lots of oversized muumuus, sweatshirts, and ridiculous sombreros with floppy brims that cover the entire upper half of her body.
Gidget Schultz Gidget was born in the beach town of Encinitas, California. She started acting lessons at age 6, and started performing on stage at age 7. Gidget enjoys singing with the Boy's & Girl's Club Chorus. She ... loves Horseback Riding. She has a Morgan/horse who is Dark Brown and her name is Frisky. She loves her horse a lot like her charity.

The beach is the center of Gidget's social life. It's where she met her boyfriend, Moondoggie (Stephen Mines), an avid surfer. Unfortunately, she meets Moondoggie shortly before he leaves for Princeton. Or perhaps that's "fortunately" - Gidget suggests that they see other people and Moondoggie agrees... allowing her to fall head over heels for a new guy every week. Even her father notices Gidget's fickleness:
