Gidget was an American sitcom that aired for one season from September 15, 1965 to April 21, 1966 and ran on ABC for a total of 32 episodes.  The show was based on characters from the novel "Gidget, the Little Girl with Big Ideas" written by Frederick Kohner. 

Gidget was about the main character, Gidget, who was a surfer and completely crazy over boys.  Her father, Russ Lawrence, was a widow and professor at UCLA.  The plot centered around the relationship between father and daughter and followed Gidget's adventures on a daily basis whether she was at school, the beach or at home.   The show did not receive very good ratings and after only one season was cancelled.  During its reruns in the summer months it regained some popularity, but not enough to bring its return back to television.
