Gilligan’s Island

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Gilligan’s Island is a classic in it’s own right with so many episodes I know by heart. With so many stars and guest stars, you can always count on Gilligan for a laugh. I can remember the whole funny cast by name Gilligan ( Bob Denver ) Jonas The Skipper Grumby ( Allan Hale Jr ) The Professor Roy Hinkley ( Russel Johnson ) Ms. Mary Ann Summers ( Dawn Wells ) Ginger Grant ( Tina Louise ) and Thurston Howell III ( Jim Backus ) with his wife Mrs Unis Wentworth “Lovey” Howell ( Natalie Schafer ).

Some of our favorites include the Surfer Boy played by a young Kurt Russel, the Japanese sailor and the Russian spy that looks just like Gilligan. We also like the episode where the space camera gos awry and lands on the island while they are collecting feathers for a bed and making syrup. They end up looking like huge bird people and the NASA people think they are looking at life on another planet.

Relive the fun at your own pace and enjoy the entire series on DVD. We watch ours regularly and still see new things we missed before.

The Planet of the Apes

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Keeping in theme with the doom and gloom of end of the world movies starring Charlton Heston, This post is about The Planet of the Apes movies. These were some of the best science fiction movies made for their time from 1968 to 1973.

What a plot and it led to 4 movies which are all favorites even though we know all the lines. Get your hands off me you stinking filthy ape. Who can forget that, it has been used in so many other shows as a joke. The plot was well thought out for it’s day.

Astronauts land on a planet that is inhabited by apes and humans are hunted and made into pets and slaves. Humans on this planet don’t talk so the new arrivals kind of stand out. Charlton Heston is the main astronaut and mounts a search for his comrades and a plan to escape from the planet.

The movie was so popular that it had three more that followed as well as a TV Series and a 2001 Remake that Charlton Heston
was also in.
If you have not watched them in a while, the new DVDs will be the best way to experience them again. Get the complete DVD set for the price of a new DVD or get the Special Edition DVD set.
