End Times: Gilligan’s Island, The Movie
If you were going into the end of the world in 2012, with a cold, empty feeling because Gilligan’s Island had not yet been turned into a feature film, rest easy: you will not be cast into the void unfulfilled. Co-producer Charles Roven previously worked on the GET SMART movie, so you know it [...]

Actually we used Duane Reade’s “Multi Eraser” knock-off, but either way, when your light switches are clean, you are clean. PS: Thursday is pretty anticlimactic without Lost. Sniff.
