76. I Loved (And Still Do) Gilligan's Island

I know it wasn't real, anymore than the road runner/coyote cartoons were real. But it was, for me, innocent escapism. I also liked Gunsmoke but I was too young (hard to believe now, although I got carded tonight in the Giant buying wine) for Father Knows Best and some of the others. But it's still a trip down memory lane, and by the way, don't start in on Hogan's Heroes...where all the Nazis were played by Jews...and LeBeau is the only one still alive, and an actual concentration camp survivor.
