THEY DIDN'T REALLY have to be rescued. Why would they want to be? Can you imagine being on a lush tropical island with Ginger and Mary Ann? Sunshine and hammocks, golf clubs and coconut cream pie.....Sure, they had to deal with headhunters once in a while, but really...
Horrible. You thought the writing on the series was bad.... They all looked pretty much the same, except for (Professor) Russell Johnson, who looked positively ravaged. Mary Ann looks exactly the same, thank God. Ginger didn't look the same, but that might be because she was played by a different actress. (What else has Tina Louise got to do with her time?) It began with Gilligan snoring so loud that the Skipper couldn't sleep. Then this plastic thing dropped a gold disc into the lagoon (it was supposed to be a satellite, but the special effects didn...

He got the sub, and the Aquatic too, from Designer-Builder George Kittredge, a retired Navy sub commander who produces the world's only line of cheap simple-to-operate baby subs in Warren, Me. Last summer Kittredge did the teaching himself. But the success...
