While rich guys and movie stars are buffoons, and everybody depends on the farmer for food (which was always coconut cream pie). We've gotten these assessments all twisted around nowadays.

You'd think after all that time on the island their clothes would wear out.

I think there's a reason - which I as a child didn't grasp - that Skipper referred to Gilligan as his "little buddy."

The show gets creepier and creepier in my memory the more I think about it. [shudder]
