The Brady Bunch was pure schlock. But Gilligan’s Island ventured some pretty trenchant social satire on occasion. Remember Phil Silvers as Harold Hecubah, famous Hollywood producer who came to the island to hammer out a musical version of Hamlet?
And anybody over the age of 50 knows the theme song ... “A three-hour tour ... A three-hour tour ...”
Art cinema? Not at all. Entertainment? Oh, yeah.
Good job, Mr. Schwarz.

Speaking of social satire, I wonder how long it has been since the episode with the grenade-throwing gorilla was last broadcast?

How many others had their first exposure to "Hamlet" from Gilligan's Island?
