Gidget: In and Out with the In-Laws

Gidget: In and Out with the In-Laws
ABC
February 3, 1966
Sitcom
DVD
B-

The first of three Gidget episodes directed by Bruce Bilson, this is another one where the premise is good but it doesn't quite play out.  There is a series of misunderstandings but the final confrontation doesn't have the impact it should.  However, it is interesting to see Russ uncharacteristically be the over-protective, to the point of violence, father for a change.

Jeff's father is played by Hal March, who was an early Harry Morton on Burns & Allen.  Janis Hansen, who plays Della Mae, was a nameless girl on an earlier Gidget.
