Antenna TV's Summer & Surf Gidget Marathon; New Leah Remini Special on A&E on Memorial Day
Surf's up! Celebrate the unofficial start of summer this Memorial Day with a 16-hour Summer & Surf Gidget Marathon. 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.
A&E Network will premiere a new two-hour stand-alone special episode of the breakout limited series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath entitled 'Merchants of Fear' on Monday, May 29 from 9 to 11 PM ET/PT. In this two-hour special, Leah Remini and Mike Rinder explore the historical relationship between the Church of Scientology and its often vocal critics. A series of special guests candidly describe their personal experiences investigating controversial stories about the Church and how the Church has responded to their work. The special will also feature a sneak peak of the upcoming season two.
