This show definitely had all a sitcom in the 60s had for the 18-49 demographic: the beach, hot guys, dancing like you're on American Bandstand, quirky best friend(s), and one or two parents that are always strict and caring. A look into the world of a normal, typical teenager going through things we went through as teenagers. It's Gidget.īefore there were shows like " Moesha", " Boy Meets World" and " Saved by the Bell", we had Gidget. One of the latter, this edition's show, was really bright (because it takes place at the beach most of the time), realistic (because some of the characters know how to surf) and it is silly (but not Batman or Monkees or Bewitched silly, but it's up there.) Also, as we heard from Seth MacFarlane at last years' The Oscars, the title character is played by the legendary and certainly hot Sally Field.

The characters and plots were bright, realistic, and either gritty or silly.

Bright sun-shinny days, happy kids having fun, dancing, surfing, Model-T cars, government, war, McCarthyism, segrega-uhh, anyway, the sixties were awesome not only in real life events (except the bad ones), it was awesome in television. Participants are required to complete a video release agreement available here.Ahh the 1960s. Please send your video-not more than 2 minutes long- to will be mashed into a 5 minute video with all contributions. Perhaps you can share your entire club dancing in zoom! We suggest you wear red and white for the video, to show our Canadian colours, but it doesn’t matter if you wear different colours. You can find simple choreography in this video. We want British Columbia’s D96 and D21 to have a special place in the video, so we are calling all Toastmasters in those districts to participate by sending in a video of yourselves dancing to the song. Margaret loves this song and views it as a kind of anthem for herself and Toastmasters. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we will be creating a video of Toastmasters from around the world dancing to the song Brave by Sara Bareilles.

That's right, you can be part of a history making eventĪs you know, our very own Margaret Page will be inaugurated as Toastmasters International’s President in August.
