ALF dreams he visits "Gilligan's Island", with castaways Gilligan, the Skipper, the Professor and Mary Ann.
I love that the "silly" episode about Gilligan's island was not only a great homage to the original series with 4 guest stars, but also seemed one of of the more intelligent episodes. The "grass is greener" idea of fictionalized life as viewed through social mediums. The random muttered aside which invoked a 14th century papal Latin phrase "Sic transit gloria mundi" ("thus passes the glory of the world"). And although I like to believe I have an excellent vocabulary, I learned a new word (hebetudinous) from the Professor!
I'm also a bit embarrassed to say it took me nearly 26+ episodes to realize the titles of all these episodes are song titles (I noticed a few of them individually had song titles, but then looking back at season 1 episode titles in a list, it suddenly struck me.....duh! I wonder if this was the show to do so. I don't remember 80's tv shows doing this.)
