Ok. Same thing. Yes, I would watch it because it is GI and I have. Yes, there were some cute moments. But, again, the focus is not on the castaways as much as in the series, although they do play them up a little more here with the manipulation scenes and the individualized basketball uniforms, etc.
I am not a sports fan--would it be realistic for all of the castaways to have fond memories of the Globetrotters. Is it more or less (or as) realistic as their all knowing Randolph Blake?
I love the basketball uniforms with all the insignias until they get to Maryann's dumbbell. Again, a cooking symbol or a pie would have been great, or she could have been the island "farmer." It's so disconnected from the series to give her that symbol, especially when everyone else's fits so well. I love the way Natalie just goes with it all, she's as spirited as any of them!
OK. Yes, in "So Sorry," Lovey intimated that she might have another child (how young was she?) but where did G.Howell the fourth come from? They could have achieved the same Howell effect with a nephew.
I can't get the whole "Maryann the lush" scene either when she is being manipulated by Pierson. What do the MAG people think of this whole thing?
The actress who plays Ginger looks way too young, but I must grant that both she and Maryann look beautiful.
Poor Professor--thinking he will qualify for that much-earned prize!
Everyone thinks this one really went way out there with the Globetrotters and robots and the whole thing. OK. but the series also often had the evil visitors and, of course, a robot. It's just that they're all there together!
At least in this film, there are no Love Boat visitors and the focus is, to some degree, on the castaways, themselves, again. Aren't the GTs just helping the castaways out here.
Pretty stupid of the female scientist to forget about how that substance should be stored properly--she seems so smart up until then!
Dreama Denver does a great job in her role as the secretary--you can tell that she was really trying to do a great job in the role, I think. There is no clue that she is really Bob Denver's wife at
all--she really does her part to make that illusion hold up!
It's nice when Howell, himself, shows up at the end. It does add some continuity to the series.
Again, as with "Castaways," it's pretty hard to envision an unshipwrecked Ginger as being satisfied with this ongoing gig at the island lounge. A special appearance by her on the island would achieve the same thing if she is a famous actress--but even if she weren't--would she settle for only this lounge singing job (no offense to lounge singers out there, it's just a reflection based on the Ginger we always knew).
