I prefer the one where Mary Ann thinks she is Ginger.
My favorites as a kid were the one where they get superpowers from radioactive vegetables and the Hamlet one.
That’s my favorite episode too!
What about one of the movies that followed?
*
The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan’s Island*
The one where the Mad Scientist used mind control rings on the castaways.
I always liked the one with the lengthy dream sequence better.
Mine too (the radioactive vegetables).
I remember Ginger (or was it Mary Ann?) ate carrots, so her vision was superpowered, she got them all excited because she saw a boat that could save them, but of course it turned out it was like 100s of miles away.
Which makes no sense, since it’d be over the curve of the Earth, but what did I know, I was a kid.
My favorite is also the Hamlet episode.
From a different episode, Lovey is the grooviest girl-group member of the Honeybees.
I like the one where Maynard G Krebs wakes up from his bad dream.
Or: “G… I… double L I… G A N spells Gilligan. …uh that’s me!”
.
Pulu see Bagoomba!
Mary Ann got the super sight (from carrots). Gilligan got super strength from Spinach. Mrs. Howell got super speed from Sugar Beets. I think that was it. Who knows what wonders I would have invented if my brain wasn’t filled with that information.
Rule Number Seventeen of 1960s sit-coms:
“The episode where the mad scientist switches their brains all around is de facto the best episode of the series.”
I liked the one where they hear on the radio that the Skipper was bring blamed for the wreck and they recreate the storm to see what, if anything, they could have done better.
Later they learn the radio station played the wrong weather report for the day and it wasn’t the Skipper’s fault at all! Hooray!
The one with the surfer whose surfing abilities promise their collective salvation suggests itself.
Well, the one with the “vampire bat” flying around has a Mary Ann panty flash. So that’s a pretty good one.
Not so fast there, Slick. I’m going to need an episode number and a minute count for this alleged “Mary Ann panty flash” before we can pass judgement on the quality of the episode.
I was once at a party where almost everyone had an advanced degree, and the least educated people were current college students. It turned out that everyone there knew all the words to all the songs from this episode.
And it was before DVR or internet.
Well, Scumpup, there was this.
