Gilligan's Island: Water, Water Everywhere

Gilligan's Island: Water, Water Everywhere
CBS
January 2, 1965
Sitcom
DVD
B-

The only GI episode written by Frank and Tom Waldman (brothers?), this fits the "crisis mode" that seems to pop up particularly in the early days of the show.  This time water is not in fact everywhere, until Gilligan and his frog buddy (voiced by Blanc) find a cave full of it.  Ginger seems man-hungrier than ever, especially towards Gilligan, who she flirts with twice (including while in the shower!).  And when the gang goes looking for Gilligan, who's left a note saying he's running away, Mary Ann says they'll hug, kiss, and squeeze him when they find him.  Ginger says, "What are we waiting for?"  On the other hand, the Skipper offers a flower to a person in the shower stall, thinking it's the lovely Ginger, but it turns out to be Gilligan, who asks if the corsage means they're engaged now.
