Not that it helped. God it drove me nuts as a kid that they couldn't get off that damn island. Yet I watched every episode.

Ginger and Mary Ann. The Professor is smart and helpful, the others not so much. And I don't think there's a lot of mystery about why a straight guy would keep Ginger and Mary Ann around.

Pearl clutching came up and I said I always thought of Mrs. Howell when I saw or heard that term. I was informed that thinking of Mrs. Howell was sexist. I'd rather not think of her. When I think of Mary Ann, I'm much happier.

I guess some people are just wound way too tight.

Both of them. Like having to share an island with the Romneys. Gilligan's and idiot, and is almost always the one who ruins our chance to get rescued, but it is his island...

She and her agent were hanging out behind this fake rock formation and shrubbery, waiting to go on at an event around the corner . We came around the corner and they were there. I was all of 13 and thinking, why is this woman wearing a sequined tight-fitting dress and hiding?

and then ... OMG, it's Ginger!
