Father/Daughter Relationship
JordanThomasHall24 August 2017
Gidget (Sally Field) is on a date with Toby Prentiss (Robert Beach) but all she can talk about is things her dad (Don Porter) said. Toby says things to make Gidget question her relationship with her dad. Neither can remember the names of the other's dates, and Gidget's best friend Larue (Lynette Winter) says its a sign of jealousy. Gidget works hard to prepare a dinner at home for her dad and his date Barbara Leeds (Kathleen Crowley) and creates chaos in a comical scene. Now Gidget is sure of how she feels about her father being with any woman and tries to avoid him. He talks with his other daughter Anne (Betty Conner) and her husband John (Peter Dual), a psychology student. John surmises to Anne that her father is completely dependent on Gidget. As Gidget continues to avoid him, he calls upon Meg (Anne Bellamy) for a romantic backdoor barbecue, but Barbara soon shows up with a bouillabaisse. If three is a crowd, imagine the scene when five of his friends show up. Gidget and her father sit down for a father/daughter talk.

The premise is rather weird when you think deeply on it. But, there is some nice comedic moments here, which we don't often see with the series.

THE PASSWORD IS BOUILLABAISSE!
tcchelsey11 May 2024
Typical, but fun Gidget complications, this time with the question; is she too dependent on her dad? Conversely, comes the next question; is professor Lawrence too dependent on Gidge? This stuff seems to always come up due to the fact that her brother-in-law (Peter Duel) is a psych major, right?

The funnist thing about this episode is professor Lawrence is NOT alone. He has lots of female companionship. First night, Gidget tries to prepare a romantic dinner for her dad and his latest gal friend, Barbara, played by popular actress Kathleen Crowley.

Everything goes wrong... though Barbara does try to remedy the situation with bouillabaisse, the next time they meet? Enter Meg (played by Anne Bellamy) a day or so later who joins professor Lawrence in a backyard barbeque?

Wait! Barbara returns with the bouillabaisse and its an intimate dinner with two ladies? Tag this more of a Murphy's Law story and it's a whole lot of fun, especially to watch Gidget's AMAZED experessions.

Also to note, the interior of Gidget's home is beautifully done. The set decorators must have had a lot of free time. In fact, if you watch later episodes, there are noticable changes, such as new draperies, rugs, etc. The place changes all the time --with the exception of the kitchen set, which was also used on HAZEL. Interesting footnote for all us long time fans.

SEASON 1 EPISODE 22 remastered color. Thanks ME TV for running this super sitcom on Saturdays.
