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.
