And while we are simpatico on Gilligan, I dearly love The Brady Bunch, even while admitting its (many) flaws.

They gang up on him, murder him in cold blood, and sneeringly leave his body to be devoured by crabs on the beach. I would have loved to see Gilligan's Island end like that for real.Bunche (pop culture ronin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11831085937894725459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-43772664794260325892014-08-04T23:24:27.954-07:002014-08-04T23:24:27.954-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bunche (pop culture ronin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11831085937894725459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-18969070170999790772014-08-04T23:21:36.953-07:002014-08-04T23:21:36.953-07:00Just discovered your blog and I love it!

Please keep up the good work.<br /><br />I'm right there with you on this show, though my feelings on it tend to run more toward genuine vitriolic hatred rather than apathy. Even as a kid I found it unfunny and downright moronic, and that viewpoint made me something of a pariah among my wee TV-addicted peers. Same problem with the Brady Bunch, so maybe I have some sort of pathological aversion to Sherwood Schwartz?Bunche (pop culture ronin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11831085937894725459noreply@blogger.com
