Antenna TV will show the entire series from beginning to end of the Sally Field sitcom -- yes all 32 episodes back-to-back. What better way to binge! It all starts at 6am on Monday, May 29 and will run until 10pm ET. Gidget regularly airs Saturdays from 4-5pm and Sunday mornings from 6-7am ET. Gidget is a sitcom by Screen Gems about a surfing, boy-crazy teenager named Frances Elizabeth "Gidget" Lawrence and her widowed father Russ Lawrence, a UCLA professor. Sally Field stars as Gidget with Don Porter as father Russell Lawrence. The series was first broadcast on ABC from September 15, 1965 to April 21, 1966.
