from my sketchbook - television


I did this for a challenge from another illustration blog.

Who hasn't heard these words in their lifetime...
"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale/A tale of a fateful trip..." ?

Sure, everyone claims they "hate it", they think it's "stupid"... but everyone has seen at least one episode. Everyone instantly recognizes the theme song. Every guy has had the Ginger/Mary Ann debate. Everyone has questioned why did the Howell's bring every dollar of their wealth and a friggin' chest of clothes on a three-hour tour, but Gilligan just brought that one red shirt. Everyone has wondered how the professor can make a washing machine out of bamboo and coconuts, but he can't fix a two-foot hole in an otherwise unharmed boat.Screw Lost, Gilligan's Island is why we love televison.

I love Gilligan's Island! Hey, did you see the one where they almost find a way off the island but Gilligan messes it up? You know that one? :) Great illo!

And since you brought it up: Mary Ann.

I LOVE that episode, almost as much as I love the Pepe LePew cartoon where the cat gets a white stripe painted down its back and Pepe thinks it's a skunk! Oh man!

I'm with you about Mary Ann. Plus Ginger (Tina Louise) has been whacked hard with the time-stick. Dawn Wells STILL looks great.

I remembered watching Gilligan's Island when I was little! It's not stupid at all to me, it's comical! I love Bob Denver!
