I'm not sure what sitcom this forum has become. But I hear the Gilligan's Island background music when I read posts.

Skipper! Watch out for that

Interestingly, that line was also in the theme song of the 60's cartoon George of the Jungle. 🙂

I remember the episode when a new character trolled Mr. Howell so hard he nearly drove him nuts.

Then Mr. Howell had him banished from the island and the Professor restored Mr. Howell’s sanity.

But four years later, a new character came to the island wearing a fake mustache and glasses and Mr. Howell thought it was his old nemesis and began insulting this new character for no reason.

I remember George of the Jungle cartoon. I think there's only 17 episodes

I liked the episode where Gilligan found some beans that gave you mindreading powers.

If that happened here, it would be just as hysterical.

I liked Hans Conried as Wrong Way Feldman.
I also liked Harold J. Stone as Dubov the artist.

I do somewhat grudgingly acknowledge your cleverness and itemization skills, which of course would just twist my guts irreparably if I were not easily the better writer, despite being American. Hah!

You are certainly on your way, though!

A long time ago I realized it was probably a good thing I wasn't psychic. My head is already noisy enough as it is. 😉

I’ve never watched it. The only reason I’d previously heard of it was due to Galaxy Quest.

But you do realise this thread is about the program being a metaphor for here …. Right?
