Gidget: Ask Helpful Hannah (1966)
Season 1, Episode 29
10/10
HELPFUL GIDGET, INCORPORATED!
18 November 2023
Dedicated to all us writers and then some... Gidge has had enough with the school newspaper's HELPFUL HANNAH advice column, which is anything but help! What to do?

Do it yourself!

Gidge inquires within, only to find that Hannah is actually a guy (played by funny Jim Connell), but it's a temp gig until they find someone else. FOUND. Gidget takes charge and becomes the new Hannah. Complications are on the horizon, and there's one special case on her desk that involves a girl and a would-be rocket high school scientist???

Again, Sally Field's expressions are priceless. Spot on for this goofy episode. This was the only episode directed by Lee Philips, who headed many episodes for ANDY GRIFFITH. He later directed episodes for the WALTONS and was also an actor, noted for PERRY MASON and the TWILIGHT ZONE.

Jim Connell (as Norman) is always fun to watch, who later guested on such sitcoms as LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE and the PARTRDIGE FAMILY.

Look for Barbara Hershey in a small role as Ellen.

Great ending with some wise input from Professor Lawrence, as always.
