No wonder I never liked it, and I thought MaryAnne was the cutest!
I hate when they do this. Nobody needs to know this. Everyone enjoyed it for what it was, a silly show. Nobody needs to know the agenda behind it 50 years later. It seems they want to ruin everything today.
I spent a great deal of my adolescence fantasizing about Comrade Mary Ann.
Who cares? I only tuned in to watch Mary Ann.
Me too!
Now I know why I always detested that show. LOL.
Really never watched it much, always found the characters annoying. Of course it was supposed to be silly but it just grated on me....
So nice Schwartz shared the royalties....oh wait.
Kato Kalen is living proof Mary Ann and Gilligan did it
Which is probably why the only sentient beings in the universe who took it seriously were the terminally-naive Thermians from “Galaxy Quest”.
Thurston Howell was funny and got off some thinly masked conservative jokes about Democrats.
I’m watching season one of Prison Break on Netflix and I recognize it as being heavily influenced by Gilligan’s Island.
With two rich people, that for some reason, brought suitcases of money for a 3 hour boat ride?
And they did eventually open a hotel there.
No wonder they always screwed up the one job they had: get off the island. Also, the Professor (who was actually just a high school teacher) should have collectivized the coconut trees and shot Mr. Howell as a kulak.
True for most of us : )
One would think that it was fairly obvious from the start.
The Howells, the lazy capitalists vs. everybody else, academia (the Professor), the entertainment industry (Ginger), the industry sector (Skipper) and the proletariat (Mary Ann and Gilligan).......................
Mary Ann was from the country, so at least she wouldn’t be useless.
Well of course. It was a fantasy.
The show Lost was just a simplified ripoff of Gilligan’s Island.
