Anyone watching the Gidget Weekend Binge on Decades?

I always enjoy these. I just saw the first day of school episode where everyone is walking into class and a guy greets Gidget with, "Hi, Sally!"

Earlier I saw the epi where she enrolls in the auto mechanic class to prove woman can do whatever a man can, and ends the show saying something like, A woman is never helpless as long as there's a man around, and she remembers she's a woman. Yikes!

I like the interplay between Sally and Don Porter. A fun father-daughter depiction, if idealized.

One of the Barbara Hershey episodes is on now. "Love and the Single Gidget" aired March 3, 1966.

The episode title sounds like a Love, American Style entry, but was probably a reference to Sex and the Single Girl.

Yes it was very fun! Great to see how the characters and focus of the show changed over the season. Plus although the colors were a little washed out, the picture quality was much better than its old Antenna TV airings.
The only problem I had was editing of some episodes. A conversation between Larue and Gidget in "Gidget is a Proper Noun" was edited down severely, while in the "Great Kahuna" Larue's trip to the Lawrence's house was cut down too. Anyone else notice any edits?

I didn't notice any clunky editing but I don't know the episodes very well. I just enjoy them when I see them.
