I got into a huge argument with another poster here quite a few years ago when I suggested that there was little diffference in what could be gained from watching Gilligan's Island vs. reading the book
Lord of the Flies.
It wasn't a very pretty sight.

I'm sure it wasn't.
Particularly since everyone KNOWS that in terms of art as an illuminator of the human condition, only Green Acres really qualifies!

There were girls on the Island with Gilligan. In LotF, there were no females, if I recall correctly. So your understanding of life gained from GI was necessarily greater — this because the presence of females makes things much more complicate and worthy of understanding;.
