tallman Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Credit Rosie for this one. Mary Ann & Ginger - With whom would you rather have a relationship? Sweet competent farm girl Mary Ann Summers (Dawn Wells) or curvy, seductive movie star Ginger Grant (Tina Louise)? Ever since the debut of the sitcom GILLIGAN'S ISLAND/CBS/1964-67, the debate has raged. On the 11/19/96 installment of THE ROSIE O'DONNELL SHOW guest Dawn Wells said that some young women of America now asked prospective dates the telling questions "Are you a Mary Ann type?" or "Are you a Ginger type?" If the person answered Mary Ann, they were looking for a solid relationship. If the person said they preferred Ginger, they only wanted a one night stand. And of course, after 9/11 Why do they hate us? Viewed through the prism of America's enemies, it's easy to see how the "Gilligan's Island" gang represents everything Muslim fanatics and their sympathizers hate. As Cantor describes it, "The Skipper embodies American military might, the Professor represents American science and technological know-how, and the Millionaire reflects the power of American business...the presence of The Movie Star among the castaways even hints at the source of America's cultural domination of the world - Hollywood." Extending this trope, I would add that the Millionaire displays an unseemly Western uxoriousness towards his one wife -- insulting to societies where women are fourth class citizens, after the children and the camels. Mary Ann, besides her fondness for short-shorts, is offensively spunky to anyone who thinks women belong in robes and head scarves. She's the type of virgin who offends the fantasies of suicide bombers bombers everywhere, as she obviously wouldn't even give them the time of day in paradise. And then there's Gilligan, the essence of the naïve, childish American - as Americans are so often described, ad nauseum, abroad. But bumbling, unsophisticated Gilligan has a way of ruining the plans of every Soviet cosmonaut or Third World dictator who drops by. "Representing the average citizen at his most ordinary," Cantor writes, "Gilligan presides over a kind of democratic utopia on the island and is repeatedly called upon to act as its savior." What's more, he always prevails. Why do they hate us? It just may be because of "Gilligan's Island." http://www.reason.com/news/show/32519.html Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Since I've never heard of (I think) that series, I wonder how many of America's enemies would have ?? Those old enough to remember would hardly have had access to tv at those times, and it hasn't been relayed recently, has it? Link to comment

Gilligan's Island was probably the best, and one of the most important, American television shows of the 20th century. In terms of its profound influence on almost everything American, it probably ranks 2nd only to The 3 Stooges. However, women and non-Americans usually don't get them. Too, bad; it explains so much.

Howard, I'm neither a woman nor a non-American, but I don't see where it was one of the best, and I really don't see where it why it would be considered one of the most important. I must admit that, while I've seen some episodes and understand the story line, I didn't really follow the show. And I'm really confused why the 3 Stooges would be considered anything but goofy comedy. Again, I've seen enough of the 3 Stooges to be familiar with the characters, their antics, and the re-occurring trouble they were always in, but that is about it. Care to explain? Link to comment

That must explain my ignorance then For the record, I DO know Peyton Place, Dallas, Beverly Hillbillies, 'The Fonz' (forgot what the series name was), the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the Last of the Mohicans..... but those wouldn't save me, eh?

Yes they do--and on purpose. Skipper---Gluttany Thurston Howell--Greed Lovey Howell--Vanity Ginger--Lust Gilligan--Sloth The professor--hubris MaryAnn--Envy my favorite piece of trivia.

Yes they do--and on purpose. Skipper---Gluttany Thurston Howell--Greed Lovey Howell--Vanity Ginger--Lust Gilligan--Sloth The professor--hubris MaryAnn--Envy my favorite piece of trivia. Hmmm.... I thought the original seven deadly sins are; pride, envy, gluttony, lust, wrath, greed and sloth. The original punishments were maybe a tad harsh. Pride: Broken on the wheel Envy: Put in freezing water Gluttony: Forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes Lust: Smothered in fire and brimstone Wrath: Dismembered alive Greed: Put in cauldrons of boiling oil Sloth: Thrown in snake pits But, they’ve been updated. Apparently polluting, genetic engineering, obscene riches, taking drugs, abortion, pedophilia and causing social injustice are to join pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and sloth as originally defined by Pope Gregory the Sixth in the 6th Century Feel free to assign a character, but tread lightly with Mary Ann.
