I remember the first time I heard the term “Tsunami” was on Gilligan Island. My generation of “Single Mom” households produced the original generation raised by the television. Gilligan taught me a lot. Who can deny the lustfull memories of Ginger, and the innocent appeal of Mary Ann! Gilligan taught me future social issues such as the differences in classes with the Howells, the before his time geek Professor, and the in the closet, overweight, abusing Skipper. Other shows of that era had influences like Room 222, Mod Squad, and Welcome Back Kotter, but Gilliagan and all his goofiness was the mold of my generation. The Asian Tsunami reminded me of that time. The episode was a hard to believe story of a surfer who rode a Tsunami from Hawaii to the Castaway’s Island, and back to Hawaii to escape the shananigans of Gilligan and Co. I was reminded of the episode when I read some articles of this actually happening more than a couple of times. With all due respect, I think its bullshit. Lovey would be appalled!
