1 - How did the Skipper stay so fat when all the rest of them were thin? Did he have a secret deal with one of the local canibal tribes to keep him supplied?

2 - How smart was the Professor anyway? Couldn't he have come up with a way to patch up a workable boat/raft, salvage the compass from the boat, create some Viking style oars and get their asses to some inhabitble place?

Feel free to add to the list.

Mary Ann
Radio ran on coconuts

...and it would have been funny if the Dharma Initiative on Lost involved the Harlem Globetrotters.

1. Somehow they had an infinite supply of coconut cream pies. Heck Hurley stayed fat on Lost. Poor guy forced the writers to come up with a reason he was still so fat.

2. The professor actually wanted to stay on the island with Mary Ann & Ginger. Clearly someone with his intelligence could have gotten himself off the Island so the fact that he did not proves he wanted that arse.

Once his life was imperiled, he fixed up those rafts to escape the flood.

Extremely. He was stuck on an island with 2 hot chicks and his competition was an old married dude who was with his wife, a fat guy and a dweeb. Notice who was the only one with his own cabin

On an island with little competition, why choose?

Mr. Howell had Mrs. Howell and Skipper had Gilligan. This leaves Ginger and Mary Ann for the Professor.

- Why did Ginger bring an endless supply of evening gowns with her on a 3-hour tour?

- Ditto Mr and Mrs Howell with cases filled with money and jewelry?

- Where did they take showers/baths and where did they wash clothes?

- How were Ginger and Mary Ann's hair and makeup perpetually perfect?

- What did Ginger and Mary Ann use for birth control with 3 bachelors on the island?

The guest star of the week could get back off the island but our intrepid castaways could not.

also, Mary Ann. Then Ginger. Then a coconut, then Mrs. Howell.

Gilligan fricked up the glue that was needed for the boat, that was the first or second episode. That's why they couldn't patch up the boat.

Maybe Ginger was going somewhere after the tour where she would have needed the gowns.

quote:

the Howells did whatever the frick they wanted and needed no reason for their actions. They were ballers, they always carried money around to flaunt it like modern ballers do. they were just ballers before their time.

quote:

- Where did they take showers/baths and where did they wash clothes?

they had a shower, a small stand up shower where they pulled a string and the bucket poured water on them, there are episodes where you see them taking a shower. Remember they made soap, and then had to eat it so they wouldn't blow up from eating the radioactive super power vegetables.

MaryAnn washed clothes like a good woman should down by the lagoon

quote:

- How were Ginger and Mary Ann's hair and makeup perpetually perfect?

The professor was able to use the extract from berries to make makeup for the girls, they did have mirrors that were on the ship. They had a big one that they tried to use to signal a plane, but Gilligan ran through it.

quote:

- What did Ginger and Mary Ann use for birth control with 3 bachelors on the island?

Professor always pulled out, another reason why Ginger and Maryann had blemish free faces.

Clearly you are over-thinking this show but then I think you know that.

Instead of hair spray they went with the "There's Something About Mary" solution.
