The plot of this episode somewhat resembles my favorite ABC after-school special, Dear Lovey Hart, I Am Desperate, which we'll look at in '76. Gidget reluctantly takes over the campus newspaper advice column and things backfire for her and others. I don't think it's handled as well here as there, but there are some things I like, gimmicky though they are. The Bewitched-sounding sound effect whenever Gidget has (or thinks she has) a realization is cute, as are the "bubbles" of her family and Larue commenting on the mess.
Barbara Hershey again plays Ellen, but this time she doesn't seem to be friends with Gidget. Jewel Jaffe, who plays Kathy, would go on to write eight Welcome Back, Kotter episodes. Rick Cooper again is Ted. Bob Beach is again Toby, and pretends he's never been to the local teen hang-out before, although he was on "We Got Each Other."
