Yes, this is the longest 3 hour tour in the history of boating. Some of the episodes with dream sequences get almost to the theater of the absurd. No, it is not the perfect series. All in all, though, it has the most absurd premise & the most talented cast you could ask for put together at the right time & the right place that it is still an enjoyable time being stranded.
The real inside joke is the way Ginger (Tina Louise) is playing the vamp, while Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) is the real beauty. Dawn, if you ever read this, I have been in love with you since the first time I ever saw you in this. Of course, my chances of ever really loving you are no better than a lost episode of a rescue made in 1967 ever showing up but I dreamed of you often when I first saw these shows & still wonder what it would have been like to have been intimate with you.
Of course, I'd have thrown you out for Barbara Eden (Jeannie), but if I had really ever had a chance to get her bottle, I'd have had her blink you off the island with another full season of episodes on NBC in 1968. Actually, everyone in this series was at the top of their careers.
Bob Denver also was Manyard G. Krebs & he was one of THE GOOD GUYS too, but this is his best work. Alan Hale was the son of Alan Hale Sr. & did a lot of other things, but his work with Denver was his best. Jim Backus was a good comedian & the voice of Mr. Magoo, but this is by far his best work he will be remembered for. Natalie Schaefer & Russell Johnson plus the girls had their best work here. Tina Louise was foolish to disown her heritage of this show as there is nothing else outstanding in her career, here was her apex. At least she didn't cost herself money while the show was running by walking off. I haven't watched any of these in a while, but now that the DVDs are out, you never know when I might just make another tour.
The scripts go from far-fetched to impossible. The relationships drawn between the characters is the glue that holds it all together.
For the time being, I have escaped from the island, but you never know, if they remade this today, should it star Johnny Depp & could he pull this off like Bob Denver? Ahoy ye scarface pirates, there is no plunder here, just escape from the rest of the world. When the first shows ran, there was a sense of isolation. Then the sit com went on to explore imagination and frustration.
