What is the crazies thing about Gilligan's Island? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

He's a shot of a gorilla lifting and throwing the skipper. Ep. 22 season one Diamonds Are an Ape's Best Friend.

Yet, the thing that always comes to mind is that the radio is picking up a radio signal from over 200 miles away AND the radio's antenna is sometimes not extended all the way. Why didn't they just have the professor rig up a major antenna on the other side of the island?

What about you? What do you think was the most ridiculous, absurd, or crazy thing about the show?

One of the most crazy to me was when Dr. Boris Balinkoff experimented on the castaways in his castle.

Why the natives had boats and could go island hoping and the castaways couldn't

How the Professor was able to build all his scientific contraptions with bamboo and coconuts?

How the Howell's brought so much clothes for a 3 hour tour?

How the Skipper, Gilligan and the Professor had on the same clothes and didn't start to smell gamey?

They washed their clothes, they even had a pedal powered washing machine.

The people that were living on the island before the castaways even showed up- the Japanese soldier, wild boy, Wrong Way Feldman.

How they were always finding unexplored caves.

LOL yeah I liked that one contraption the Professor had when filling in Gillgan's teeth and 'ol Gilligan had to pedal to make the drill start working.

Assuming the Professor was listening to an A.M. station then I don't find this to be unusual at all. Some A.M. stations have very powerful transmitters and they're signals can be picked up from ranges much greater than 200 miles.
