Gilligan's Island: Smile, You're on Mars Camera

Gilligan's Island: Smile, You're on Mars Camera
CBS
October 7, 1965
Sitcom
DVD
B-

Going back and forth between Cape Kennedy and the island, this episode by Al Schwartz and Bruce Howard, who did "It's Magic," takes awhile to get going but it does have what I've always remembered as one of the silliest images I've ever seen on television: the castaways as feather-covered, Martian chicken-people.  And this is the episode where we find out that Gilligan has been wearing his brother's shirt all this time.  Arthur Peterson, who plays the more absent-minded scientist (he has to check his badge to remember his name) would be the Major on Soap.
