Just sit right back & you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man, The skipper brave & sure.
Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour,
A three hour tour

The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost,
The Minnow would be lost.

The ship's a-ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan,
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star

And the rest. (only in season 1)

The Professor and Mary Ann, (following seasons)

Here on Gilligan's Isle.

Well, I said I was going to continue yesterday's discussion today, but I'm a little short on time at the moment so I'm going to have to wait to finish until later on in the week.

Is this hand made puppet/toy? Very cute, HDR was the right way to go here

@Persian King: Homemade lawn decorations, yes. The straight shot was almost as good, but the "HDR" was a little better. The quotes are because it's not "real" HDR --the dynamic range was not extended because I only took one photo. You can probably get the same effect with some work in Photoshop but I find the fake HDR process to be a nice short cut.

The HDR is just the right touch, enough but not too comical. Gilligan's Island was a top show in its time, I wonder how long it would survive now compared to the current shows. They would surely kill or throw people off the island. Soon to be a major motion picture.

I haven't watched TV in years so I don't know what's popular --at least from a first hand perspective-- but I doubt Gilligan's Island is the kind of show that would cut it today. It was definitely not "reality" TV, nor was it crass and vulgar enough to be a Survivor in today's line up.
