Gilligan's Island: How to Be a Hero

Gilligan's Island: How to Be a Hero
CBS
March 6, 1965
Sitcom
DVD
C+

An episode with both head-hunting and head-shrinking, the latter by Mrs. Howell, who diagnoses Gilligan as feeling inferior to the heroic Skipper.  So the gang tries to set up situations where Gilligan can rescue them, until finally he scares off the visiting head-hunter (Russ Grieve, who would return).  Shipping notes: Mr. Howell takes a lot of pictures of Skipper with the "little girl" he saved (Mary Ann), and later poses with Ginger on his lap, which clearly makes Mrs. H jealous.  Alan Dinehart and Herbert Finn again co-wrote, as they did for "Angel on the Island."
