[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 1275134, member: 8530"] Good evening Hive, Thank you for coming to tonight's "Hivemind Dramatic Reading". The purpose of the course is to explore all of life's mysteries and underlying philosphies through readings from modern literature. Our first installment is by the great Mr. Sherwood Schwartz, who discusses the deeper meaning behind his televison program "Gilligan's Island". [SIZE=3]"There's a lot of underlying philosophy to the characters of 'Gilligan's Island.' They're really a metaphor for the nations of the world and their purpose was to show how the nations of the world have to get along together or cease to exist....it was a microcosm. I mean, here's a show about a group of people who have absolutely nothing in common, forced to live together and work together toward a common goal of survival. That's the philosophy of the show. Of course we buried that message under a lot of pratfalls and bamboo and silly stuff, but I used to get a lot of mail from phychiatrists and philosphers who understood it."[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Source: [U]Growing Up Brady[/U] by Barry Williams, page 31.
