I want to know why people like to watch "Gidget", despite that it only 1 season & starred 18 year old Sally Field as the title character.

C'mon Sally Field wasn't much of a looker then & now.
Especially in a bikini. The show was quite corny.

LaRue makes the girls from "The Facts of Life" look cute like Debbie (now Deborah) Gibson!!!

Sally Field's acting was mediocre. (along with "The Flying Nun")

BTW, 18 year old Sally Field looked a lot like Mandy Moore.

And that creeps me out!!!

Hey, Sally Field was cute on "Gidget" and "The Flying Nun". She even looked good on "The Girl With Something Extra". Anyway,
so what if the shows were corny. It's a means of escapism watching those shows. And do you know Debbie Gibson? I've met her several times and could tell you some stories!

I don't know Deborah Gibson,but I've met her once at an autograph signing. She smiled and was thoughtful enough to sign my copy of her "M.Y.O.B." CD. (I know It's her job to do so) .And I don't care if she's actually a nasty/rude person in real life. She's a human being. It's her job to act nice. If she's a snotty person, who cares.

Even if she is a b***h, I still like her music.

And I bet Deborah would've been a great "Sister Bertrille" or a hotter "Gidget" if she were to be around in the 1960's.

And her name is "Deborah" not "Debbie". Sheesh!

BTW, my girlfriend is a real surfer & consider s "Gidget" the all time worst sitcom ever made!!!

And I'm also a snotty person too.

"Welcome to the "Sienfeld" world. Nobody likes "Flying Nun" no more!!!
Eminem can shove Sister Bertrille's big ol' hat up her *** Ha Ha!!!"

(My girlfriend, "Janeane", isn't on this message board. So she asked me to write this for her)

And my high school counselor claimed to have met Deborah Gibson four times & even went back stage. She told me it was a pleasent experience from her youth.

Because it's classic, corny and wholesome. My daughter is 8 and we watched it tonight...she liked it. Works for me. I'd rather her watch Gidget than some of the other crapola on TV.

That's just you & your daughter's opinion.

My girlfriend loves Deborah Gibson's "Electric Youth" album.
I love to watch classic "Saturday Night Live" & '80's music videos.

Some of my friends loves VH1 Classic, including myself.

And there's a lot of my peers who diss the '80's.

And there's nobody in my community that watches "Gidget" & "The Sacreligious Nun" (I'm a former Alter boy)

What do you mean by "crapola"?

reality shows or shows aimed to an older audience like "South Park" & "Just Shoot Me"?

BTW, I bet "Gidget" will be replaced by "Good Times" in May.

And I personally like "Who's The Boss". A better & more modern family sitcom.

By the way... Have you met Sally Field?

(not to be rude.)
And let bygones be bygones.

I don't want to fight. :cool:

BTW, I'm a fan of some "corny" shows myself.

Go ahead and heckle me. :)

I love "Who's The Boss" & seasons 3/6 of "Step by Step".

Plus "Solid Gold" & "Miami Vice".

And I don't even fit on this messageboard because I don't watch a lot of TV. (7 hours a week at the minimum)

And I mostly work at a used CD store a few blocks away from St. Ritas Catholic School where I contacted Sister Sherilyn who helped me to register on this messageboard. And she told me about some tv shows she loathed during her youth. Yes, I saw both "Gidget" & "The Flying Nun". At first, I thought they would be funny like "Married...With Children",but instead felt like I was watching current MTV. (A very unpleasant feeling)

Not to mention I only wanted to get my mind off of war & hatred.
And I got a positve remark from my post on the "Hogan's Heroes" thread. It's "comment". Check it out . And It's one of my least favorite shows. (no offense)

And you're post was very rude. Hate + Hate never solves the problem!
I only stated my opinion. I never intended to offend anybody.
And look up the 1st Amendment.

Jeesh! That's why there's a lot of negativity going on right now.
(No Offense. I'm proud to be living in the USA)

STUPID REASONS!!!

In the words of Rodney King: "Can't We All Just Get Along".

I actually like both "Gidget" & Deborah (then Debbie) Gibson.

I want this nonsense to stop.


Sally Field was cute, though she still looks great.

And what does Debbie Gibson got to do with "Gidget"?

Nothing!

If you,Anti Pop Star, like Debbie Gibson, then why not visit a site that's devoted to her.

Personally, "Gidget" is a fun show to watch.


Atleast it's better than most of today's sitcoms that feature a teenage girl as the main character. (can you say "Lizzie McGuire?)

Back in the 60's Sally Field was a HOT commodity........ So was Patty Duke. It was a simpler time and a time I sometimes Long for..........

You can't comapre Deborah to Sally (those are just 2 different eras)...

The "Gidget" Show was fun to watch for us teens at the time. You may not think Sally was pretty but, as a girl growing up my sister and I wished we looked like her. The clothes that Gidget is wearing were HOT back then in the 60's... Also her hair bows were HOT........ She was styling......... We wished we had her life so to speak... It was an escapism from our hum drum normal lives at home. I'm still watching the show now........ I find it a bit corny now but, I still enjoy it.

Are you Solomon in disguise?

It's bad enough dealing with one know it all who thinks his opinion is RIGHT and everyone elses' is wrong.

If you dont have kids then you dont know how hard it is to shield the kids from some of the things on TV. I dont have to do that when she watches Gidget or Punky Brewster.

I liked Who's The Boss too but hey, I can only watch what's on TV or what I trade for. I cant' magically make WTB appear.

*I* Like Saturday Night Live but that's not material that an 8 year old feels compelled to watch.

You think it sucks and that's great. I think it doesn't.

Well, at first I wasn't crazy about Gidget, and I'm still not! But I must admit that it's a great show to just sit back and enjoy (especially when doing homework). I think the show is light-hearted and a good example for teenage girls now in days, perhaps they should take an example from Gidget! And remember that one shouldn't be in a hurry to grow up, that one only gets one life but if they work it right once can be enough!

That's just my opinion. Adios! :wave: :D

You go Mara! :thumbsup:

What about real shows like "Married...with Children".
Kelly Bundy was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
hotter & cooler than "Gidget".
Not to mention "Kelly Bundy" is like Sister Bertrille compared to Christina Aguilera.

Or "Who's The Boss"
Alyssa Milano is THE ONLY REASON WHY ME & MY FRIENDS LOVED THIS SHOW!!!


And VH1 where all the great top 100 shows are on.

Because "Gidget" is a great show!
Not to mention that Sally Field looked cute. :)

Maybe to you those are "Real" shows. But some other people like the Classics Like "Gidget" or "The Flying Nun". I respect your Opinion, but If you don't like Gidget you just shouldn't post on the board saying how much you hate it and Bash the show.

Thanks TheFonz, I completely agree with what you say.

I'm sorry, but "Married with Children" and especially Kelly Bundy are in no way good examples for anyone! Sure, the show can be somewhat fun to watch, but it holds absolutely no positive examples or messages for adults or teens.

The point I'm trying to make is that shows like Gidget and Happy days hold a deep rooted positive message about family, friends, and the way one choses to live their life. In a way they bring us back to a simpler time when life wasn't as complicated as it is now. Perhaps in submerging ourselves in these classic tv shows we can escape the harsh reality that is our lives and retrieve to a more gentler time and place.

:D

Isn't there 3 people with that screen name on different messageboards?

I hate to see "APS" from a whole different board to see this.

Well, I went there and "APS" didn't mind because he/she's not a big fan of sitcoms & is a movies/music fanatic.

I doubt the other 2 "APS"'s with that same screen name would come here.

1. another site
2. A Mandy Moore fan forum
3. this idiot who blessfully deciced to leave this site

He/she doesn't like to be bothered.
Except by those from that board.

Yes, "Gidget" is a classic!!!

Hey Anti pop Superstar , Whay don't you Just F**K OFF!!!!!!!! , you go to many threads and bash the show that the thread is about are you some kinda attention craving @sswipe that gets a rise outta this , I can't stand people like you if you don't like something then don't go to a place where people enjoy the things you don't like , I wouldn't go to a reality show thread and bash them , Just go leave Us fans alone we like the show and the people in and Yes I dig Sally gotta problem with that .. then go blow yourself .

I like Gidget's sister, Ann (Betty Conner) best. She's sensual and very pretty (particularly in red hair). I think it is interesting the way seems to be at war with herself internally.

That last would never be called a corny show...violence, booze, drugs, racism, etc.

DEBORAH GIBSON??? Her original 1980s PERSONA was no DIFFERENT at the time than was Deb! That's like suggesting Hayley Mills would have hated to watch the show (which I enjoye din the 80s and many other teens did)--Hayley and Sally both were born c.1946.(so was, by the way, Patty Duke).

Emeinme would hate the show but some of the OTHER you cite woould NOT!!

Gidget is a cute classic! I like it and so do lot's of other people and personally I don't like negative people coming and craping up a forum about a perfectly decent show.

As our good friend Pitooey aka JennyLee said it was a important show for teens at that time and as she and I will agree (judging from the posts by many apparently kids outnumbering us slightly or much "older' folk) a number of younger people enjoy it (go to www.tvtome.com GIDGET for more).

I'd say that (as I pointed out previously) that Gidget's young fans (this IS a timeless show, and saying it ain't is like saying Glenn Miller isn't cutting edge) abound to the point of outnumbering us or the rest of their generation (and to wrap it up who's to say that those who claim that the HATE a show, pop song, mall etc.don't actually secretly love it..:D)

Because it's da bomb!!!!
