For at least the last couple of years, my Sunday writing for Major Spoilers has been done to the sounds of Gilligan’s Island. Now, sadly, MeTV has discontinued the Sunday ‘Three Hour Tour’ block, leaving me adrift and lost in a sea of lesser reruns. Given that there are 99 episodes of the show, at an average of six per week, I probably saw the entire run of the show five times over, I’d still watch the castaways right now, if I could. (Especially the one where Boris Balinkoff switches their minds, leading to Dawn Wells playing The Professor and Alan Hale as Mrs. Howell.) Alas, I cannot, but at least it leads to today’s have-to-make-the-best-of-things query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) can still quote many ‘Gilligan’ episodes chapter and verse, thanks to being raised by a 21-inch Magnavox TV, asking: What program could you most easily binge in long blocks in reruns?

Star Trek DS9… just ask BBC America.
The Simpsons – mainly just cuz there’s so many episodes, of which I’ve seen only maybe like 2 in 10.
That’s a good one. I’m not really a Simpsons guy, but every once in a while I want to sit and watch a few in a row.
