Love your additional, appropriately theme...Gordon.<br /><br />Love your additional, appropriately themed post. Thanks for mentioning all of those terrific sci-fi, horror and fantasy elements. It's a great point.<br /><br />And look, for years, people just scoff at the Brady Bunch or Gilligan's Island and still do.<br /><br />I really don't care. The stuff is timeless and infinitely rewatchable like so many of our favorite Star Trek episodes. YES! It's that good!<br /><br />I'm secure enough to admit that I loved these programs too and still adore them. I enjoyed many with my kids as they have grown all over.<br /><br />But thanks Gordon for adding an additional level of substance pertinent to the site regarding Sherwood's classics. Great post.<br /><br />Best, <br />sffSFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-36584064456547500342011-07-17T18:23:38.400-04:002011-07-17T18:23:38.400-04:00Agreed, he was a very talented person. Have never ...Agreed, he was a very talented person. Have never seen My Favorite Martian, but Gilligan and the Bradys are still the two best sitcoms. EVER. Heard rumors he was still working on ideas at his death. The Skipper and Gilligan are the funniest duo of characters, the Brady parents had the best chemistry ever on tv, and the Brady kids are still the coolest tv kids ever.<br /><br />How many Gilligan episodes fall under the science fiction heading? Probably a good dozen, easily, plus allied spy and horror episodes and a bit of fantasy, too. The robot, the jetpack, manned and unmanned spaceships in the lagoon, the giant spider, the intelligent ape, the meteor, the radioactive vegetables, both Dr. Balinkoff stories, Gilligan's filling as a radio, the space probe and the feathers....that's 12 there off the top of my head, plus Ginger's film <i>Mohawk Over the Moon</i> about a Native American astronaut. Lots of good fodder for the AlterNASAverse, that's for certain!<br /><br />And as for Ginger/Mary Ann... depends on what mood I'm in. The sensual woman of the world, or the girl next door (definitely not the Ginger from the first reunion movie!)...or Dawn. Yes Dawn...who had elements of both.... (grins)<br /><br />Fond memories. Thanks, Mr. Schwartz! I hope you are coming up with more good ideas for sitcom jokes!<br /><br />Gordon LongPDXWizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884427889989897626noreply@blogger.com
