If I described to you a hit television show with deep Christian underpinnings and hidden meanings about a bunch of people being stranded on a strange island which had some audience speculating that the characters were in "Hell," what show would you say we were discussing?
Gilligan's Island, of course.
Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of Gilligan's Island, said he patterned the seven stranded castaways after the seven deadly sins but he didn't admit it until years later in his book about the show.
I'm sure you can attribute the sins to the proper characters but here they are:
The Professor Pride
Thurston Howell III - Greed
Ginger - Lust
Mary Ann - Envy (of Ginger's looks)
Mrs. Lovey Howell - Gluttony
The Skipper - Anger or wrath
Gilligan Sloth
Take that LOST!
Some have even speculated that the castaways were in Hell and Gilligan (who always wore red!!!!!) did everything he could to ensure they stayed there making Gilligan "Satan."
And you thought it was just a silly show!

On that link you sent me, there's a little soccer ball on the youtube control bar at the bottom. If you click it, the sound of those horns everybody's blowing at the World Cup games plays over the audio track.
Elizabeth Montgomery had great legs, BTW.

There works always failed them. They had to be saved by someone in a movie. Calvinist.

That reminds me of the episode from I Dream of Jeannie where the doctor thinks that Tony is acting weird before a mission.

Mary Ann was the only one that made big money on that show.
Right now, it's pouring rain outside. And cold.
