I saw the ALF one and I thought I as going to die. And I hate Gunsmoke, because of these reasons:

1) I hate Westerns
And
2) It got GI cancelled!

Jack: You know what your trouble is, Chrissy? You're a compulsive eater!
Chrissy: I am not! I'm just always hungry.
Mrs.Howell: Who would take care of me and our beloved little Howells?
Gilligan: What beloved little Howells?

[tdr]

You hear on the news about a volcano erupting, and you ask, "Why don't they explode a bomb in a tunnel near the base?"

You hear about your community theater doing a production of "Hamlet," and you think, "No, I'm not looking for a musical."

You refuse to give up searching movie listings trying to find "Tongo the Ape Man."

You find a piece of red quartz and firmly believe you have 3 wishes by sundown.

You're planning to drive across the country and you get a magnifying glass in a painstaking search on the map for Horner's Corners, Kansas.

You are convinced you can turn your radio into a transmitter with pliers and screwdriver.

You are tempted to enter a room with the warning sign, "Danger: Radioactive Material", because you want to become superhumanly strong and have superhuman eyesight and energy.

You like the idea of floating in a hotair balloon, so you glue raincoats together with tree sap and make one.

Instead of just saying, "May lightning strike!", you get a bamboo pole, cover it with lead, and stick it in...

You make yourself sick of sunflower seeds trying to find one that will give you telepathy.

[Liza]

Oh well, let's see.

You go to college and you seriously scare your roommate because you stay up until 4 in the morning taping episodes.

Instead of studying for finals, you get into long debates over why the Professor and Mary Ann make a better couple than the Professor and Ginger.

When choosing your roommate for next year instead of asking "what are your interests?" you start with "Which castaway is your favorite?"

When your Professor starts to talk about Shakespeare, you immediately start humming Carmen.

You email each of the surviving castaways and invite them for a reunion dinner in your dorm room.

Whenever you don't have your homework done, you tell the teacher that it's Gilligan's fault.

You accept a job as a receptionist and waste time writing on GI message boards.


These are all purely hypothetical, of course...

[gilligan fanatic]

these are real good. Its amazing how true they are

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

Um...

Someone asks you what planet you are on and you reply, "Gilligan's Planet"

You catch yourself humming, "He's a Loser" more than once throughout the day.

Seeing Ginger's gown in "Planet Hollywood" was the highlight of your summer vacation.

You consider Gilligan's Island to be a work of genius.

This kinda goes with the first one: When people aren't acting normal you ask, "Gosh, what island are you from?!"

You believe that any MAG & G/P fanfiction stories are truly works of literature.

When someone calls your house and they get the answering machine they hear: "Just sit right back and you'll hear the tone, the tone of the answering machine..."

[GingerGilligan]

I've got some. . .

You watch Star Trek and think Russell Johnson would have made a much better Captain Kirk.

You get mad when people say Gilligan's Island is stupid.

You think Marilyn Monroe would have looked better if she dyed her hair red.

You glue on false eyelashes to look like Ginger/Mary Ann.

You search for Gilligan stuff on ebay and stare longingly at the things you can't afford.

You keep checking out Bob's/Russell's/Dawn's websites in the hope that maybe there might be some new content.

You watch the DVDs on the TV, then on the computer, then watch the video while listening to music that was popular when the episode aired, then make music videos taken from GI with 60's music. (Yes, I have done this)

You plan to do the same thing with Dusty's Trail.

You can tell when Tina Louise was wearing a wig.

You notice the Professor stands with one foot on the bench, leaning over and Gilligan stands with his hands behind his back.

You know the typical scene. Skipper asks Professor "So what do we do?" Professor explains, Gilligan says something stupid, Skipper gets mad.

You keep track of the recycled storylines. How many times have the Howells broken up, headhunters come to the island, etc.

You have weird dreams of the Gilligan's Island people and the Dobie Gillis people being on the same show together.

Cynthia

[GeorgeWBushGOP]

You don't even THINK about having sex with pretty women.

At work you bungle every account.


You always keep a healthy supply of citrus fruits around the house.

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

Yes. It is always advisable to keep a good stock of citrus around the house; one never knows when one will suffer from a vitamin defficincee. (did not spell that right).

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

You watch the news everynight just in case the castaways were actually rescued finally.

You find giving up watching Gilligan's Island during Lent a surpreme sacrifice.
(I'm dying here! I hope the rest of Lent hurrys by)

You get angry enough to explode because people can get stories about the young "Captain Jack Sparrow" published, but you can't get a work of fanfiction analysing and delving into the Gilligan's Island romances to even count as a short story for a school report.

You consider finding two other girls and forming a singing group called the Honeybees.


Will the IsLaNd HaPPiENeSs ever end?!

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

Okay... I've got more (just taking examples from real life... I mean i would NEVER spend time coming up with these... cough, cough)

*you have framed pictures of the professor next to your bed.

*you pray that tina louise will some day release a book at least 300 pages long about her accounts on Gilligan's Island. (yeah, I wish for the impossible... but that would be very, VERY interesting to read... :google: )

[Alegna]

When you get mad,you hit your friends with your hat
When you keep turtles for pets

[Mikado]

You keep going on short-line cruises, hoping youll be marooned with 2 hot girls! :lol:

Even a year after it was cancelled, you still send the producers of "The real Gilligan's Island" reality show , nasty letters pointing out all the inaccuracies in their version. :typing:

[AB]

[kooky12]

You hang around your local lake or river, wondering why boxes of stuff never wash up on shore.............

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

so the other day my brother and I were playing basketball and instead of playing 'horse', we played 'Gilligan'

[AB]

When you watch The Miss America Pageant you wonder why Maryann, Ginger, & Lovey aren't in it.

[Prince Michael]

you hit your friends over the head when they screw up something

I used to help a friend of mine with his puppet shows . He's a fan of Gilligan's Island, just like I am . One Sunday afternoon, we were getting ready for one of his puppet shows, when he wanted to go for a ride in a car he was planning to buy . I thought we should have stayed and worked on his puppet show . We went for the ride, the car stalled in the country, and we got stranded for an hour or two ( it might have been a three hour tour ) . When we got back to his apartment, I took out my knitted cap ( the only hat I had ), hit him on the head with it, and said "Gilligan !" .

you have a life sized poster of Mary Ann hanging in the living room

GASP ! Where can I get a life -- sized poster of Mary Ann ?

When your relatives ask you what you want for Christmas your immediate reply is "Gilligan's Island !"

My friend Sam and his sister are like my family . Sam's sister asked us for a few ideas for Christmas presents . I realize I SHOULD have asked for the DVDs of Gilligan's Island !

[Smilings]

During sex, you cry "Gilligan!"

And your wife cries "Little buddy!"

[Lovey]

When one of your favorite things to do is write GI FF.
When you go to a beautiful historic hotel and think this is so Howell!

[Teebs]

During sex, you cry "Gilligan!"

Believe me, I've thought about it :lol:

When you cannot get the adorable image of Gilligan out of your head, no matter what time of day or night it is, there's always a mini movie of GI running through your brain. With a laugh track. And commercial breaks.

[GeorgeWBushGOP]

You dont ever wonder what Ginger might be like in the sack!!!

[Willbo]

You have 7 children, four boys and three girls, all named after the GI characters.

[Steve Carras]

When you start having nightmares about "Boris Balkinoff"'s castle even if you adore he episode (4/07/66,"The Friendly Phsycian"..that castle! It's actually from that old VIncent Price horror flick, 1961's "The Pit & The Pendulum".

[Teebs]

When your dog recognizes the theme tune and looks up at the TV when you say, "Where's Gilligan?" :dog:
