- TriviaIn an interview featured on the DVD release of the series, Sally Field said she and Don Porter had a father/daughter-like relationship off screen as well. Field was new to professional acting and, due to nerves and inexperience, sometimes made mistakes that caused others to laugh at her. Acting veteran Porter not only took time to explain things to Field, but often sensed things she didn't know. In one instance during a cold read of the script, the word "symbiosis" appeared in one of Field's lines. Porter pronounced the word quietly so Field would know how to pronounce it.

Featured review
Frances 'Gidget' Lawrence, was adorable young Sally Field (Forest Gump), the girl who was always going to the beach with a wind breaker. Her best friend was always all covered up except for her face, which was well shaded by the huge hat. She was allergic to the sun! I always wondered why they had to wear wind breakers to go to the beach. Later I lived in California and found that the water of the Pacific Ocean is very cold. The beaches were hilly. I don't remember where the series actually took place. The series was black and white. I watched it dubbed. I remember the show as a whole but not much detail. Gidget herself was a lot of fun. I have good memories of the series.
