Gilligan's Island: Lovey's Secret Admirer

Gilligan's Island: Lovey's Secret Admirer
CBS
January 23, 1967
Sitcom
DVD
B

The last of the Herbert Finn and Alan Dinehart collaborations, this starts out as a farcical mystery about who the title character is, becomes another episode where the Howells have a spat, and then turns into a rare dream sequence for Lovey.  Along the way, Ginger and Mary Ann pretend to argue over who's more interested in the Skipper, and the poor man is still clearly hung up on Ginger.  The major ship here though is of course Thurston/Lovey, and the moments where they kiss (including her hand kissing back) are sweet.  Note, the Skipper is the wicked stepmother, the same season he was Gilligan's mother in another dream.  And Bob Denver looks good in a goatee and mustache.
