Bill Gross and his partner claimed it was only their love of “Gilligan’s Island” that prompted them to play the show’s theme song on repeat, but an Orange County judge had another take Wednesday, ruling that blaring the song on repeat constituted a form of harassment.

Bringing to an end a high-profile trial that stemmed from complaints over an ornate lawn sculpture, Superior Court Judge Kimberly Knill ordered the billionaire bond investor and his partner, Amy Schwartz, to not violate the noise provisions of the Laguna Beach municipal code or play music on their outdoor speakers when they are not in the yard or pool area of their seaside estate.

“People have an expectation, rightfully so, that their home is their oasis and safe place,” said Knill, who cited multiple instances of music being played so loudly it could be heard inside neighbor Mark Towfiq’s home despite concrete construction and half-inch-thick, dual-pane windows.

I used to call Laguna beach and Santa Cruz,”Lagomorrah Beach and Sodomy Cruz.” Beautiful places until you realize half the people are freaks.

billionaire bond investor and his partner, Amy Schwartz

Is Amy Schwartz a grand-daughter of Gilligan's Island creator Sherwood Schwartz?!

With the new ruling, do they now try to see if it applies to "The Brady Bunch" theme (Season 2) on Auto-Repeat?

It could have been worse, they could of played “It’s a Small Small World.” Rode that ride once with my nephews and niece about 25 years ago at Disneyland and it almost ruined me...

“it’s a small world”

You think that small introduction to globalism was bad? You should see what they are doing now...

Last time I sang the Gilligan’s Island song at Nipper’s in the Caribbean with the other seven people on my sailboat, I went head first into the sand and my neck has never been the same!

LOL, one of the most debauched bars I have ever seen in my life, a tiny island in the Abacos, and the entire Island is a multilevel party bar, and boats come from all points of the compass as the sun goes down!

why is the judge a tyrant? Seems to me he was protecting the rights of the neighborhood.
