I'm speechless. I thought I was the only person alive who remembered that TV show. When I was a teenager, I used to watch this show just to hear the song. Years later I would find a copy of the song by the Safaris, but the Beach Boys version is better.

And this had been driving me crazy, too, I thought I really was the only one who remembered this show. The theme is mainly what I remembered. Probably my first ever exposure to Beach Boys. I was barely out of kindergarten when this first aired. There was another show we watched, too, called "Hank", around the same time.

@kresblain You're correct - after I made that original post, I discovered that both were only on one season, and not in the same season. BTW - that Tee Vee Toons "TV's Greatest Hits" album is the only place you can get this song, unless it's available through a music download service (ITunes, Rhapsody and the like).

@elc1960 Actually, "Gidget" only aired in the 1965-66 season (and in COLOR too!) I wonder if anyone has more of these "90 Bristle Court" series around someplace.

Does anyone have the episode with Richard Dreyfuss? I believe it is his earliest recorded appearance.

In those closing credits, I saw the name of Bonnie Franklin, who went on to star in CBS' "One Day at a Time" (1975-1984).
