Makes one think maybe Lenny & Squiggy should've gotten that cartoon instead of Laverne & Shirley or Mork & Mindy......hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-62596538057146788652015-06-17T17:48:54.120-04:002015-06-17T17:48:54.120-04:00I saw that one and I have to say I was terribly bo...I saw that one and I have to say I was terribly bored! I kept waiting for something to happen - the pacing was awful. <br /><br />That goes for almost all of the cartoons from the ABC Saturday Superstar Movie series.<br /><br />My guess is HB hoped to continue the team of kids solve mysteries/get into adventure like Scooby Doo, et al. If Gidget had been made back in the 60s (say 1967 or 68 when the live action show went off air) they might have had a thriving series already. Gidget was all but forgotten by 1972.<br /><br />BTW - you forgot to mention the voice of Gidget's friend, "Jud" was none other than David Lander - aka "Squiggy" from Laverne & Shirley.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
