The Seven Deadly Sins of Gilligan's Island

I was giggling when I read this, HOWEVER, there are some valid points!


So, I am passing this email on to 'you' for grins-n-giggles....





The Seven Deadly Sins of Gilligan's Island theory is quite simple. Each of

the seven characters on the island represents each of the seven deadly sins.





Now, this theory seems to fit upon initial inspection, there are technical

difficulties when you get down to THE MAN himself, Gilligan.





The Profs'r

1. Most obvious is the Professor, who fits PRIDE to a T.

Any man who can make a ham radio out

of some wire and two coconuts has to be pretty cocky. His character was

later revised and given a series of his own, called "MacGyver."



Farm Grrl

2. For the sin of ENVY we look no further than Maryann,

who may have worn those skimpy little tops,

but could never achieve Ginger's glamour. (As an interesting

and completely irrelevant side note, a nationwide survey of college students

a few years ago revealed that the professor and Maryann were voted the most

likely couple to have 'done it' on the island.)



Juan Hot Tamale

3. And who could doubt for a moment that Ginger is LUST incarnate?

Sure, the kids were supposed to think she was ACTING,

but we all know what being deprived

episode after episode was doing to her.

You know and I know that glazed look

wasn't boredom, my friends.



Mista Howell

4. What kind of person takes a trunk full of money on a three-hour cruise?

Mr. Howell gets my vote for GREED.



We are now left with three characters and three Deadly Sins. We have

Gilligan, the Skipper and Mrs. Howell to whom we must match GLUTTONY, SLOTH

and ANGER. As you can see, there is a Gilligan problem here.



JACK SHIT!

5. Certainly we can further eliminate Mrs. Howell from this equation

by connecting her with SLOTH. She did jack shit during her many years

on the island and everybody knows it.



The Skipper Toooo

6 & 7. This leaves ANGER and GLUTTONY, either of which the Skipper had no

shortage. He

was, after all, a big guy with the tendency to hit Gilligan with his hat at

least once an episode. After much consideration, I have decided that he can

easily do double-duty, covering the two remaining Deadly Sins.



So here we have the Seven Deadly Sins trapped in an endlessly recurring Hell

of hope followed by denial and despair, forced to live with each other in

our TVs until the last re-run ends. And who is their captor? What keeps them

trapped there? Gilligan.



SATAN SATAN FAUST>> Gilligan is SATAN. Think about it.
