Tournament Round One: Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em vs. Gilligan's Island - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

icecream · 10-19-2021, 08:23 PM

Fans of good music will know talented singer Michael Crawford from The Phantom of the Opera. He is just as good of an actor, but his Britcom is not well known in the US. Michael plays bumbling Frank Spencer, who has a hard time doing anything well. Also starring Michele Dotrice as Frank's wife Betty. Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em aired from 1973-1978 on UK network BBC One.

This is the longest tour ever. Crew and passengers of the S.S. Minnow crashed on a remote island. They had only signed up for a three hour tour, that got extended to three seasons on CBS from 1964-1967. Starring Bob Denver as Gilligan and Alan Hale, Jr. as the Skipper, Jonas Grumby. Also starring Russell Johnson as the Professor Roy Hinkley, Jr., Dawn Wells as Mary Ann Summers, Tina Louise as movie star Ginger Grant, and Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer as the millionaire and his wife the Howells.

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! This should be the biggest landslide since Reagan beat Mondale in 1984. Gilligan all the way!!!

Gilligan's Island defeats Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em 9-2 and will advance to the 2nd round.

CatsRule/IceCream, the only reason I chose Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em over Gilligan's Island (even though I've never even heard of SMDAE) is because I am too upset over Dawn Wells's death last December being from COVID-19 to even support it in this tournament of yours.

I'm in the same boat as you are. Get it?

I'm here all week ladies and germs. Try the veil, I'm working on commission.
