The following is a list of episodes of the American sitcom Gidget. The Screen Gems series aired for a single season on ABC and struggled to find an audience during its initial run.
Episodes 1–17 originally aired on Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. opposite The Beverly Hillbillies on CBS, which was popular with teenagers. ABC moved Gidget to Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. beginning with Episode #18 ("Like Voodoo"), where it performed poorly opposite CBS's Gilligan's Island.
1966 summer reruns catapulted the show to the Top 10, as viewers looked for shows they had not seen during their original fall/winter broadcasts. However, ABC had already cancelled Gidget, and consequently, scrambled to retain its newfound audience by starring Sally Field in a new show in September 1967, The Flying Nun.
