Movie Gidget surfed. I would imagine TV Gidget also did, and according to Google, she did. Sally Fields got the part without knowing how apparently, and then learned for the show.
Not with a bang, but with a wimple.
OK, that made me laugh.
But, don’t let that become a habit.
Oh yes, TV Gidget surfed—and quite well, I must say!
A common brag from any diminutive male surfer from the 1960s was that they once put on a bikini to body double Gidget. But almost all of those scenes were filmed using rear projection.
Holy cow, yes.
Gidget was a much nicer person than Patty. More like Patty’s cousin Kathy. Patty would wipe the floor with her.
Also, Kathy Kohner, the real life Gidget was actively surfing into her 60s and still gets out in the water annually for charity events.
Did not know Gidget was based on a real life character. I learn something new and interesting every day on the Dope, thanks.
Mack Bolan The Executioner or his ripoff Marvel Comics’ Frank Castle The Punisher?
How about Swamp Thing vs. Man Thing?
Jessica Fletcher vs Jane Marple: this time, it’s personal
I think they are pretty close when it comes to strength. Man Thing burns anyone who fells fear. However he doesn’t possess human intelligence. Swamp Thing should be able to out smart him.
From Larry Niven’s universe: how about Vaemar the WunderKzin versus Brennan the Protector?
Actually of course, I’d prefer to have them both on my side… 
Death-match: Tattoo from Fantasy Island vs. Chucky from Chucky.
Sure, Chucky looks like the obvious winner—tiny psycho doll with a knife and a bad attitude—but I wouldn’t count Tattoo out. He’s seen more twisted fantasies than Chucky’s ever dreamed of. He’d put that little stuffed maniac into an endless loop of voodoo vacation packages faster than you can say “De plane! De plane!”—all while sipping a piña colada and smirking like a madman.
Nick Carter the Killmaster slips in behind each of them for the win
Westley Crusher vs. Will Robinson?
Crusher for sure, although they would probably team up and find some way to cause a huge mess for everyone else…
Banacek or Baretta?
Banacek is smarter but Baretta carries a gun… and dats da name of dat tune.
Will, the Doctor and the robot had some funny episodes. Not so Wesley.
Banacek is just plain cool.
I was proud of that; one of my better efforts.
And he never lost a fight. Banacek would beat Baretta, earn a 10% commission, and have the perfect old Polish proverb to explain why.
