Gilligan's Island: Voodoo Something to MeCBS
October 10, 1964
Sitcom
DVD
B-
Although filled with slapstick (including a trap that sends Gilligan once and the Skipper twice into the air), this also has some interesting early insights into character. The generally level-headed Skipper turns out to believe in voodoo, as does Mary Ann (and of course Gilligan), while not only the Professor but Ginger are skeptical. After a week or two on the island, Ginger is eager to meet the "intruder" who's breaking into the supply hut, not caring that he may be a vicious killer, and she's designed a clam-shell compact with berries for cosmetics in order to make a "trap" of her own. The intruder of course turns out to be, as any student of '60s pop culture could tell you, a chimp. (See The Monkey's Uncle, How to Commit Marriage, and/or The Barefoot Executive on my movie blog.)
