Herbert Finn wrote this hilarious episode, who was writing for the JACKIE GLEASON SHOW at the time, also the FLINTSTONES. You know this was gonna' be good.
It's all about poor Mary Ann this time, who has a hometown sweethart back in Kansas -- now engaged to marry a wealthy heiress? Now what?
NOBODY wants to break the news to her and this leads to Mary Ann eating some mushrooms and having an incredible dream sequence. It seems she's also hooked on a campy radio soap opera called "Old Doctor Young" ... and watch what happens next.
One of the most original episodes of the entire series, going into soap opera mode. Each of the crew plays various off the wall characters, all coming to the aid of broken hearted Mary Ann. See to believe. The skipper plays a kooky sheriff, looking a bit like the Green Giant with a gold badge! Gilligan as an eccentric French doctor has got to be seen. Mr. And Mrs. Howell ALWAYS have the best wardrobe changes!
I have said it so many times. The most fascinating thing about this series are the super clothes or costumes, and of course the inside joke as to where the heck the castaways got them??? Best of the best has to be the famous square white radio that brings all the news, good, bad or indifferent. A must see episode for fans and new fans. SEASON 3 1966 restored dvd box set.
