TV Guide Vintage Christmas Issue 1972 Partridge Family

Vintage TV Guide December 23-29, 1972

Cover: Christmas Issue

* Includes A Fab Article On The Partridge Family's Visit To King's Island Amusement Park In Cincinnati, Ohio. The Family Was There To Film An Upcoming Episode For Their Television Series, Starring David Cassidy. The Classic TV Fan Will Note, That The Rival Brady Bunch Filmed An Episode There, As Well. Who Can Forget The Mad Dash Through The Park, Everyone Passing That Yogi Bear Poster Off Like A Relay Race. Also, Please Note That The Park Was Sponsored By Hanna-Barbera, Creators Of The Banana Splits, Who Incidentally, Can Be Seen Roaming Through The Park In The Brady Bunch Episodes. This Adds Further Credence To My Long-Held Belief That There Is An Odd Connection Between The Banana Splits And The Brady Bunch. You Might Notice That Both Bananas And Bradys Do Indeed Come In Bunches. At The Risk Of Over Illuminating, I Can Not Go Without Mentioning That Sid And Marty Krofft Designed The Banana Splits Costumes For Hanna- Barbera. They Were Also The Creative Geniuses Behind The Epically Bad Brady Bunch Variety Hour. Are You Starting To Put It All Together?

Gidget

Sandra Dee was the original actress to portray surf-crazy teen, Gidget Lawrence, but my money's on Sally Field for making Gidget so, well, Gidgety. Dee was great in the movie, but Field gave us the most consistent and longest-running portrayal on the 32 episodes of the TV show. By the way, the actual Gidget is the daughter of the man who wrote the book, Frederick Kohner. If you have not read the book, you might give it a shot. It's not nearly as campy and bubblegum as the small and big screen adaptations. It was actually considered a bit salty for it's time.

A bunch of sequels to the original film were made with different actresses, most notable being Deborah Walley. There were even some made for TV films and an attempt at a 1980's television series. None of these were very good, but Gidget Goes Hawaiian starring Walley is a pretty fun film.

This post is dedicated to our dogs, Gidget and Moondoggie...
