Has anyone else seen the new commercial for the whole "there's no place like TV Land" thing? It's so great.
The whole premise is they're taking testimonials from different people who are marooned on islands. I can't remember it word-for-word, but they're like, "We don't get any visitors. No jungle boys, no cosmonauts. No Don Rickles."
When I see the commercial again I'll post it. It's funnier than I just made it out to be... LOL.

You mean the castaways's radio picked up a Pittsburgh station? If so I don't remember the ep that happened. But in the cosmonaut ep Gilligan mentions picking up a Manilla, Phillipine Islands radio station. I guess the radio's a short wave. They had them back then.

yeah....i'm not sure....but i think maybe it was "ship ahoax" where ginger pretends to be a fortune teller. but regardless of what episode it was in....the radio comes on with "this is KDKA in Pittsburgh...." at first i didn't think anything of it....cause KDKA is pretty common around here....and then i'm like....wait a minute! they got pittsburgh???
