Gilligan's Island

This was a good idea for a show, but it turned out bad because it happened at a time when comedy wasn't funny yet. Nowadays you have to write good dialogue or be able to improvise clever lines to get laughs. Back in old 1960s tymes you could get laughs by having the Skipper hit Gilligan with his hat or making Fred Flintstone use a bird as a record player.

Why is Gilligan supposed to be such a nerdo dweeb? There's two hot ladies on the island, and only three eligible bachelors including idiot Skipper. and everybody knows the Professor liked Mary Ann better. That leaves Gilligan with GINGER. a MOVIE STAR! No wonder he kept foiling the plans.

Coconut thing pretty obnoxious. They made everything out of coconuts, except bras. and that's such an obvious one.

Why were the Harlem Globetrotters there? That's a very random cross-over. Like if Magic Johnson was on Star Trek, or Helen Keller was on Alf.

They sure had a lot of parties, man. Decorations, everything. They are stranded on the beach, you'd think they'd be sick of the luau theme.

Now the obvious thing. Skipper and Gilligan worked on the boat, the Howells were a couple, but otherwise who goes on a boat tour alone? Three single people that didn't know anyone else on the boat? Including two smokin' ladies? That would never happen. I know it's sort of redundant to say "that would never happen" when discussing GILLIGAN'S ISLAND but geez.

Every TV show becomes a movie lately. Where is the Gilligan movie? Will Ferrell can be him. John Goodman can be the Skipper (if he's still alive).

Mr. Howell was so rich that he BOUGHT the island once they escaped from it. He should have had it blown up.
