The New Gidget is an 99United States of America|American]] television sitcom that aired in syndication from 1986 to 1988. The series was produced by original Gidget series producer Harry Ackerman and was launched after the television movie Gidget's Summer Reunion starring Caryn Richman aired in 1985. Richman reprised her Gidget role in the series.
Plot
The series features Gidget, who is in her late 20s and married to her idol, "Moondoggie" (Dean Butler). The couple live in Santa Monica, California where Moondoggie works as an architect and Gidget runs the "Gidget Travel Agency" with her long-time friend, Larue (Jill Jacobson).
Gidget and Moondoggie take care of Gidget's niece, Dani (Sydney Penny), who lives with the couple while her parents are overseas. Dani is similar to Gidget when she was a teen and is always getting into trouble with her best friend, Gail (Lili Haydn). Gidget's father, Russ (William Schallert), is on hand to provide advice to the young couple and to remind Gidget that Dani's exploits are similar to the ones she experienced (and sometimes caused) as a teen.
