The New Gidget is an American sitcom sequel to the original 1965–66 sitcom Gidget. It aired in syndication from September 15, 1986 to May 12, 1988. The series was produced by original Gidget series producer Harry Ackerman and was launched after the made-for-television film Gidget's Summer Reunion, starring Caryn Richman as Gidget, aired in 1985.

Plot

The series features Gidget, who is in her late 20s and married to her idol, "Moondoggie". The couple live in Santa Monica, California, where Moondoggie works as an architect and Gidget runs the "Gidget Travel Agency" with her long-time best friend, Larue.
Gidget and Moondoggie take care of Gidget's niece, Dani, who lives with the couple while her parents are overseas. Dani is similar to Gidget when she was a teen and was always getting into trouble with her best friend, Gail. Gidget's father, Russ, is on hand to provide advice to the young couple and to remind Gidget that Dani's exploits were similar to the ones she experienced as a teen.
