I am with ita in not having seen any Gilligan's Island or The Brady Bunch.
I like this corner.
In further Tempest discussion, what was the 50's (?) sci-fi flick that was an adaptation of the play?
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"Mom always said, 'Don't play ball in the house!'"
I know one of the chicks gets her nose broken. And that it sucks to be the middle sister.
It just never made it across the pond. Three's Company, Sanford and Son, those travelled. Not the stuff with the kids. Or the stranded travellers.

Exactly.

I like it too. My mother liked Gilligan and the Bradys and thought they were good, wholesome fare for the family. I winced all through TV viewing, and she always complained that I was reading a book when everyone else was watching TV.
She also thought Johnny Quest (the original, thank you) was too violent.

Forbidden Planet?
Which I get confused with Fantastic Planet. So either (or neither) may be what you are looking for.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
megan, are you aware of Gilligan's Island Live at the Garage? Two of my friends are in it, and I was going to try to catch it by the end of the month. Are you interested? Looks like we can get two-for-one tickets, even.
I've never seen Gilligan's Island, by the by.

Jonny Quest was one of the few shows I could stand to rewatch when I Netflixed a whole bunch of childhood favorites to watch with my niece and nephew.

'Cause they're freakin' awesome! When I was at Fantagraphics we interviewed Doug Wildey who was basically the animation showrunner for Jonny Quest. Great interview by a talented guy and a grizzled old Hollywood vet.
Forbidden Planet (with Leslie Nielson, Anne Francis and Walter Pigeon) was the Tempest In Space.
