Gilligan's Island: My Fair Gilligan

Gilligan's Island: My Fair Gilligan
CBS
June 5, 1965
Sitcom
DVD
B-

A couple biographical notes on this episode where the Howells adopt Gilligan after he saves Mrs. Howell's life.  (No one notices that he indirectly causes the accident by shaking a boulder loose.)  The Howells clearly state that they don't have a son.  (I'll assume they don't have a daughter.)  When the final reunion movie was made, this was conveniently forgotten.  Also, it seems like "Gilligan" is in fact a first name, since Mr. Howell treats it as such, calling him Gilligan Thurston Howell IV, and then G. Thurston Howell IV.  Perhaps Gilligan is too polite to correct him though.  Ginger flirts with Gilligan the new heir (in real life and in his dream), but both girls kiss him on the cheek when he's back to his old identity.
