Was it really like Gilligan's Island in space???

So, it was similar to the situation on Gilligan's Island except it took place in outer space?

Was there a Professor, a rich couple, and a farm girl from Kansas?? LOL!!

FAR-OUT SPACE NUTS (which was telecast on CBS Saturday mornings, beginning Sept. 6, 1975) starred Bob Denver and Chuck McCann as two NASA
food loaders who inadvertently launched themselves into space aboard a rocket
ship that they were servicing. Along their intergalactic travels they adopted a
space creature named Honk (Patty Maloney) and met Lantana (Eve Bruce) and
Crakor the Robot (Stan Jenson). (By the way, the dimwitted pair were
catapulted into space when they pushed a button marked "launch," thinking
it said "lunch." Sid and Marty Krofft (of H.R. PUFNSTUF fame) produced the
show, in response to pressure to drop violent cartoons from network schedules.)

Yes, Trish and Cyb Barnstable. They were Geminis! I remember when one of them made 5th runner-up the 1971 Miss USA contest. It was Patricia, Trish, Miss Kentucky. They later became Doublemint Twins.







When Howard Stern publicized a site called "Name the Dictator or Sitcom Character" I went immediately to it, and used one that I knew would stump the site --Ficus! Because one of the questions was Are you male? Female? Answered yes to each! I can't recall if the site guessed it, and I was second to try that one, or if I was the very FIRST, and entered the info into the site. Quite a few times I stumped the site, and was the first to add sitcom names from obscure shows. I added Phyllis Pruitt from the Pruitts of Southampton.
