Ginger-6(she's my least fav because she's so stuck on herself.

I don't know if the restaurant is still there but it was called "Alan Hale's Steak and Lobster Barrel" and it was on LaCienga Blvd.

Gilligan is my fave too, Gilligannut. Your list is kinda like mine. Here's mine I kind of changed it because it's hard to put them in order but always #1 on my list is Gilligan. Here's my list:

1. Gilligan - I just love him! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif
2. Mary Ann
3. Skipper
4. Professor
5. Mrs Howell
6. Mr. Howell
7. Ginger - I don't like her either. The charater and the actress who plays her both just cares about themself.
