This logic was so funny I had to share it .....
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.
Run with me on this one...
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 MacGuyver".)
For the sin of ENVY we need 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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gilligan has to be the devil then .... think about it.
