Walter Koenig in Gidget! 1965

[Anoek66]

lol

[shortyblackwellll]

Chekov is cute

[lankycrab]

LOL Chekov :3

Cute in a suit -3

[Squisidee]

Me next plz?

[ironhandz1]

CHEKOV! Not cool! haha

[JubalCalif]

Jumpin' Jiminy! He says "I want a woman", then proceeds to treat her like a naughty child, turning her over his knee for a good old fashioned spanking. Guess he's trying to "smack a little sense into her"....via her bodacious behind. THANKS for posting this cute clip. Hard to believe that even as late as '65 a man spanking his bratty fiance could still be played for laughs! My my...how times have changed!

[sabakunolila]

Ah.... He's even cuter here... -3

[dunbar9finger]

Choo Veere the most beautiful ting on eeerrt... to me.

The creepy thing is that It wouldn't have looked out of place for Bester to be behaving like that toward his wife - if he had had one - on Babylon 5.

[rocketdave]

I just started watching reruns of Gidget and think it's a cute show, but this is one episode that does not hold up incredibly well. I can handle some of the outdated sexist attitudes of the era, but scenes like this kinda creep me out.

[guny12]

kinky

[rvirzi]

That's pretty kinky for 1965!

[7beers]

I find this cringe-worthy.

[gurujee666999]

Colonel malstrom? That's Commander Chekov I think.

[phillyphil690]

Relax, it's therapy time. Go Chekov! Spank dat ass! You vill listen. Quietly, quietly...

[workstrength]

Women today would rip executives' doors down if they made scenes like this today...

[gurujee666999]

@workstrength Yeah, we better bring back those good ole days!

[7beers]

I think he should have punched her in the face. That would have been even funnier!!

[gurujee666999]

@7beers That's what Captain Kirk did!

[123attivo]

Notice that all women named Inga are hot?

[pieword]

Take her where no man has gone before.

[Dolphindream15]

I didnt know he did other shows

[Darktrouble666]

No SPANK ME CHEKOV!!!!!!

[maryboylston12]

klaro, hat einer lust mich von meiner dauer einsamkeit zu retten

[SPeacock]

Happy Birthday :)

[princeminski47]

Holy crap! Chekov *is* John Wayne.

[brabon1]

woa....60s tv was kinky

no wonder im so fucked up now...i watched gidget

[Lx3IV]

Poor kid, still pulling the Russian accent, even when acting like a Swed.

[princeminski47]

@Lx3IV Nyet! Note the little upward inflection at the end of every sentence. Walter had his stereotypes straight.

[BassMisteress101]

In soviet Russia You slap bitch.

[RoorenSan]

Lmao! I will never be able to look at Chekov without thinking of this scene now.

[JubalCalif]

SPANKS for the memories! Even in the mid-60's the TV networks could still get away with showing grown woman being spanked & play it for laughs. Nothin' like those good old-fashioined Swedish Swats! :)

[milou66]

ha ha. hitting women is funny.

[qadowshable]

He found his son dead.most unfortunate.

[doublemandala]

I would have liked giving her a spanking.

[RockyBalboa211]

I hope you find your son Mr. Koenig! God bless you

[brownsugah66]

I wonder what most women in this day would say about getting a spanking for being a spoiled brat....the Bridezilla's of today are way worse and surely don't get one ....and they really need it

[Justfornaughtygirls]

@brownsugah66

Just curios, are you of those naughty girls who needs a good spanking?! lol

[brownsugah66]

@Justfornaughtygirls Cheeky ! lol

[laughingoutquiet]

Ouch poor gal:(why don't you pick on some1 your own size dude!*yells*

[kavols]

Funny to see Koenig replacing 'w's with 'v' sounds when he's so much more famous for the reverse.

[Tranchera]

why do they put a question mark at the end of every sentecen

[Saartje05]

Walter is a good friend of an English friend of mine. They know eachother for a long time already. I had the honor to meet him a couple years back. Very nice man.

Although in this scene I would have beaten the shit out of him, lol.

[Evilsparkdragon]

Wow... that's hilarious

[bawb6543]

She's not behaving herself!! Acting like a jezebelle!!

Thank God she has a man loving enough to give her a

good spanking!!! Thats what these "Career Girls" of today

need!

[HUSKY57887]

"Therapy time";I LOVE it!

[TheTroubledTribble]

Oh my gosh Chekov, kinky! XD

[SilentMaiden25]

I Love Checkov!!! i wish he was in more star trek episodes and i wishhe had done more movies!! :]

and yes kinky!! XD

[gymer15]

checkov should have set his faser on stun and entered her galaxy

[PrescriptionDrMcCoy]

Walter Koenig knows how to keep his voman in line ^.^ So Cute!

[Eseercam]

Wow... I didn't know you could be spanked by you fiancee (at not as a punishment).

[giantsean]

That's pretty racy for the 60's... free love and all.

[hoppers001]

I love this scene. LOL

[vatonorteno]

Interesting how the "Swedish" characters only speak English to each other. That Chekov sure knows how to keep blondie in line. A good spanking cures a petulant child just like Inga!

[Saartje05]

Actually,we have Chech friends who speak Dutch to eachother, even at home. So, it's really not that weird. Or is this also playing in Sweden?

[acdeucee]

does anyone remember who played Inga?

[JubalCalif]

Wow....Walter plays a Russian on "Star Trek" and a Swede in this Gidget episode. Let's hope the young lady doesn't end up marrying him....obviously he believes it's ok to spank his spouse. He could have been arrested for battery even back in 1965....but I suppose she refused to "press charges".

[jdarrenfan]

You can't judge a show made in 1966 by today's standards so I wouldn't be so hard on the spanking. It wasn't intended as approval of spousal abuse. Or even t be spousal abuse. However with the dark hair and brown eyes I doub that Walter Koenig had one drop of Swedish blood in his veins.

[vatonorteno]

He's doing a Swedish accent, not a Russian one. How many Russian Gunnars do you know?

[Morthund]

oh, I'm sure that Inger, Gunnar Mælstrøm and Sven are just as popular in Russia as....Igor, Boris and Olga...are in Sweeden

[firmingitup]

Our Russian neighbor down the street is named Gunnar Grinkovsky .

Just kidding :-P

[tvgator1]

God, could you imagine if someone did that (spanking a girl's butt) on TV now? Holy crap..........unreal

[snkaes251]

If it really were as simple as speaking in a Russian accent and spanking her bum, we'd all get laid.

[goobymoogy]

She was a bad girl! She need a spanking! LOL

[jache77]

is that robert random with gidet in kitchen?

[mrsDEJr]

He's a Chicago boy, y'know! His parents came from Russia. Made accents pretty easy for him. I heard him at several Trek Cons back in the 70s & 80.

[snapefreak]

I love it.....it's so much fun to watch! *evil grin*

[ArchibaldClumpy]

It's amusing and somewhat unsettling that this sort of thing was appropriate on television only forty years ago.

[monkeyjeebusx420]

she broke gidgets dishes and was being spoiled. it wasnt even hard more like humiliated her into acting her age.

[ArchibaldClumpy]

I wasn't talking about the specifics of what happened, but about the assumption that women are inherently more childish and need to be taught a lesson by men. 60s TV would never have depicted the same thing in reverse.

[moorlock2003]

"Inga, I vant a vooman for a vife, not a child who only vants to have fooon."

[Slashh222]

OMG! That's like the greatest translation ever!

[lzbthwtts07]

omg hes so cute

[firmingitup]

Pavel Chekov, how could you??!! I'm telling Captain Kirk!

[monkeyjeebusx420]

kirk would join in.

[firmingitup]

That's why I was going to tell him! Thought he might like to join in! Just kidding!

[joeperrysbabe]

LMAO!!! Really, huh?

[kcsunshine64]

Keptain ,we are suuouded by Klingons.

[vivaloriflamme]

Awful. And this was "family" tv.

[thezaylady]

It's sad that woman beating was considered "comedy."

[BernardProfitendieu]

"woman beating"!?! go pretend to be outraged by something else, thezaylady - there's real beating going on in this world, and that wasn't it!!

moron!

[voorbeeldig]

that's rediculous! 'a woman should ben quit, warm and resonable' or so... come on men, as if you don't ever do something wrong, I wouldnt have bought it! Tough I might just need a spanking every now and then ;)..

[womanlybassplayer]

Now days it's the guys who need the spankings! And their pants are already down! Lol!!

[rt16]

SPANK HER, CHEKOV!!!

[Furball2k]

ROFLMAO!!! ahaha

[TheChronicOne]

Where are the nuclear wessels??

[PumkinXOXO]

Oh my.... I mean....

YES! I've been a BAD BAD girl, Chekov! Throw me in the brig and SPANK me!! aaaaaaahahahahaha

[zorakreturns]

Chekov was a real player back in the day. Of course the moral of the story is that it's humorous to beat a Russian mail order bride if you are Pavel Chekov.

[evancortez2]

If you did that scene on TV today you'd have women's rights groups protesting every which way till sunday!

[rldavis1959]

Sounds like a Swedish Russian accent.

[ClarenceFisher]

Ya...Da (take your pick)

[Fruth37]

Now he would end up in jail for assult. How times have changed.

[DanyrockQueen]

Chehov!

[AmatterofPat]

Wow. That was pretty hardcore.

[nwjblake]

Gidget's words "Therapy time" make it sound like this is a common experience for her.

[nwjblake]

Gunnar and Maelstrom are not Russian first or last names. "The most beautiful thing on earth" has Swedish up and down accent. And the way they say fUn is Swedish. He could seem slavic because of the slicked back black hair.

[akmediascope]

OH MY GOODNESS! I can't believe that was on TV. Walter, Walter, what were you thinking? Violence toward women is okay if it is doled out in punishment? And "Inga" acts as if she liked it! There are reasons I am glad we are out of the 60's

[RyouRan]

Like a younger, Russian version of Mr Bester....

[A1l2l2e2n4]

I wonder: Did Walter Koenig specialize in accents in the 1960s? "Gunnar" sounds a lot like "Pavel Chekhov", but I saw him at a book signing once and I saw more than 1 episode of "Babylon 5" on which Col. Bester appeared, and there was no trace of an accent.

[slashingraven]

Walter speaks with an American accent, for sure; Bester's speaking voice is exactly the same as Walter's. Do a search for "Tom Snyder Star Trek 1976" for a 3-part interview with James Doohan, DeForest Kelley and Walter Koenig to see what I mean.

[tuffchique]

omg so russian!!!!

[zippy830]

Spanking Inga ? Yummy !

[prncsscalifornia]

LoL. I remember this episode!
