Gilligan's Island: How to be a hero
Day: Thursday May 29 2003
Time: 2p.m. Pacific
Channel: TVLand
Today on TVLand.
Record number: 68

Title: Gilligan's Island
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Dawn Wells, Tina Louise, Natalie Schafer

Description: Episode: "How to Be a Hero" (1.24)

Gilligan is depressed over his failure to rescue Mary Ann from drowning-- the Skipper saves them both. Later, Gilligan sees a headhunter on the island, but no one believes him. However, the other castaways decide to disguise the Skipper as a headhunter and allow him to "capture" them so that Gilligan can become a hero. Unfortunately, Gilligan overhears the plan.

Meanwhile, the real headhunter captures Mary Ann, Ginger and the Professor. The Howells find the threesome tied hand and foot to stakes. Frond (!) gags cover their mouths, and despite mmpphing for all they're worth, they are unable to warn the millionaire and his wife that the headhunter is behind them. It's a brief scene, but it features a long shot of the three of them-- Mary Ann is wearing her trademark short shorts, and Ginger is wearing a form-fitting dress fashioned from some item from the Minnow ("S.S. MINNOW" is prominently displayed on the skirt) in the background.
In a later scene, two more stakes have been added, and Gilligan discovers the five captives tied up. The Howells have not been gagged, but they are unable to convice Gilligan that this situation is anything other than a trick. The real headhunter returns, and Gilligan "plays along" in a mock fight scene. During the shenanigans, there is a close-up of Mary Ann, and several shots in which she is prominently featured, writhing at the stake. (Ginger remains only in long shots.) Finally, the Skipper (disguised as a headhunter) shows up, and Gilligan realizes the truth in time to send his foe into a handy campfire. After everyone has been untied, Mary Ann can be seen holding a loop of the rope.

This is from the first season of black-and-white episodes, subsequently colorized, and begins around the fifteen-minute mark.

Channel: Lifetime
Today on Lifetime.
Record number: 2458

Title: Caroline in the City
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Lea Thompson

Description: Episode: "Caroline And The Comic" (2.8)

The scene is comic in nature, and lasts about two minutes or so. Judd Hirsch (sp?) is an actor who is thinking about having Caroline (Lea) star in his play. The scene in the play involves the girl being tied up. Judd takes some masking tape and wraps it around her as she sits in her chair. She says a few lines from the scene. Then Judd hasan argument with the other fellow from the show. In an effort to leave the two alone, Caroline shuffles her chair into another room. (The chair has wheels on it.) Later, after Judd has left, Caroline shuffles back into the room to talk to the other fellow. "So are you going to untie me?" she asks. "Not today," he says. If memory serves, the scene is a little less than half way through the show.
