[Gothic Sponge]

Bad TV?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

[Reverend_Smitty]

4. Now that you say it...

that show is a glorification of rugged individualism, how people can survive without any government safty nets...it's an attack on New Deal policies...Damn you Schwartz, you Republican tool!!!

...OOPS! Sorry! Didn't mean to comment on "Reality TV"

[DelawareValleyDem]

10. SKIPPER!!!!

[StopTheMorans]

11. yes, I always thought that the effete Gilligan was supposed to be a knock

against liberalism, and that the Skipper was supposed to represent the correctness and moral resolve of Joseph McCarthy in rooting out those evil commies

[terrya]

12. It's propaganda for...man on man love!

The Skipper and his "little buddy"...PLEASE. Anyone could see what THAT relationship was all about.

13. Plus the professor could make a cockring out of coconut husks

[terrya]

14. LOL-I always thought Ginger and Thurston Howell had something going

They were always plotting together behind everyone else's back.

16. No. The true conspiracy is in it's cancellation.

After that one episode revealed that you can make a coconut-powered radio, the battery industry pressured CBS to pull the show from its lineup. It's the BATTERY INDUSTRY, people!

17. Cheney is Skipper, * is Gilligan, Rove is the Professor

Condasleezy is Ginger, Rumsfeld is Thurston Howell and Wolfowitz is Lovey. It all makes sense now.
