A NASA satellite with a TV camera, accidentally lands on the island instead of the intended target: Mars.

    Mr. Howell making a pillow for Mrs. Howell is wierd especially since he trusted Gilligan to keep it a secret. The capsule that landed on the island is definitely wierd. It's funny how they spend alot of time looking for the lens when Gilligan had it the whole time and then he broke it which is hilarious. When Gilligan tried to get the sap out of the trees it was funny especially when he could have used 4 buckets. The whole episode wasn't that interesting because of the whole Mars, picture thing but some parts were hilarious.moreless
  • The quintessential Gilligan's Island episode.

    "Superb"
    The quintessential Gilligan's Island episode. Through a completely
    ridiculous yet plausible sequence of events, the seven castaways
    become covered in bird feathers after a space probe destined for Mars
    lands on the island, causing scientists at NASA to mistake the castaways
    for life on Mars! As with most episodes in the series, this one includes
    comedy on a variety of levels, ranging from slapstick to word play (Mr.
    Howell's joke about drilling for glue) and
    more subtle humor (Gilligan initially being completely oblivious to the presence of
    the probe). The sheer absurdity of the entire situation is what I find
    to be hysterical.

    Everything that you either love or hate about Gilligan's Island is
    exemplified by this episode.moreless

    • Lovey: Professor, how do we know when that thingamajig is working? Professor: Oh we'll know, Mrs. Howell. It'll start to hum. Thurston: Hum? With the money we spend in space you'd think they'd send up one that knows the lyrics.

    • Professor: But we need something to put this lens together that won't interfere with the TV picture, some sort of glue. Thurston: We'll start drilling for some immediately. Skipper: Mr. Howell, you don't drill for glue! Thurston:Oh, no? You should see some of the oil wells that I got stuck with.

    • Mary Ann: Ginger, I'm exhausted. We've been looking for this thing for over an hour. Ginger: I must be losing my touch. If there's a camera lens around, I usually find it.

    • Thurston: One thing I can't stand, that's a messy jungle.

    • Skipper: You don't know anything at all about space. Gilligan: I know one thing about it. You take up more of it than I do. Skipper: Very funny. Gilligan, there are three types of space. There's the space up there, the space down there, and the space between your ears!

    • Gilligan: You're a very thoughtful husband Mr. Howell, going to all this trouble to make a pillow for your wife. Thurston: Of course, I want her to have the comforts of home. You see she's been a true friend and devoted companion. She has that one quality that every man wants in a woman. Gilligan: She's loyal? Thurston: No. She's an heiress. She's loaded.

    • Gilligan:...Then my brother would see me and he'd punch me, cause I'm wearing his shirt.
