Gilligan's Island deconstruction

I bought this book when it was first published because Gilligan's Island is my all time favorite wacky sit-com. Its wackiness has always inspired questions and debates about the nature of reality on the deserted island such as the reasons for each castaway being on the 3-hour tour or why the Howells brought all those clothes. This book takes a stab at answering many of those questions in an irreverent yet respectful manner as well as providing things that are expected in books about TV shows (episode guides, behind the scenes information, cast biographies). I own almost every book published on Gilligan's Island, this book has remained my favorite
