Gilligan's Island: Take a Dare

Ginger of course vamps Barkley.

Sitcom
DVD
B-

This is Roland MacLane's next to last GI script and I don't know if it's him or director Cherry, doing his last of five, who's responsible for all the whimsical little touches, like Gilligan's "Sorry about that, Chief" (not the first Get Smart reference, but less subtle than "Would you believe...?") or the way the castaways are shown talking in a line and the Professor is somehow at both ends.  I like how there's the twist ending, where George Barkley doesn't get the $10,000, and then a further twist on that, with Mr. Howell, the person who least needs it, finding it.  Not a classic episode by any means, but worth watching.
