The Ballad of Gilligan's Island Episode

The Ballad of Gilligan's Island

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.)

Enjoyed seeing the on location shots in this episode. Unfortunately, I had just seen another tv show do a "Rear Window" homage episode earlier week, so I didn't find it quite as interesting as it might have been otherwise.

The Christmas List Episode

Continuity issue: George is mentioned as being away in previous episodes and the next episode after this, so it's a bit confusing to have him back for just this episode.
