Chivalry defined; polite, unselfish, a code of honor.
No doubt inspired by I LOVE LUCY, where Lucy and Ethel found themselves taken for granted. Such is the case with Gidge and her gal friends who are tired of guys being guys. That includes Mark (played by Robert Random), her latest boyfriend, which sparks a do-able idea.
Gidge decides to throw a big slumber party and snub the guys --until they find out about their plan. Their boyfriends strike back, putting into action some clever ways on how to shut down the party, including calling the house and pretending to be their moms? If you're a sitcom fan, you'll recognize this gag in later shows. Creative writing 101.
Some super guest stars to watch for, which is always fun; Bonnie Franklin in an early role as Jane, Barbara Hershey, also beginning her career, playing Ellen and Beverly Washburn, who soon would gain fame appearing in STAR TREK and the cult movie, SPIDER BABY. Robert Random later co-starred in the action series, IRON HORSE.
Written by one of the best, John McGreevey, lead writer for MY THREE SONS, also for Sally Field's next tv series, the FLYING NUN. And yes --- that is the living room from BEWITCHED. In fact, Gidget's kitchen was the same kitchen used on HAZEL and her house was very close by to the BEWITCHED house on the Columbia/Warner Brothers lot. Sadly, all was torn down during the summer of 2023 to make way for new, state of the art sound stages for Warners. Gone, but not forgotten.
10 Stars. From SEASON 1 EPISODE 12 remastered color.
