Well, can you blame her?









From Kare 11 news: One of the stars of the old Gilligan's Island has been busted for pot possession. Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on the show, is serving six months' unsupervised probation after being caught with marijuana in her car.

Well, can you really blame her? If I had to spend any length of my adult life in the company of Gilligan, The Skipper, and those freaky Howells I'd probably need a little toke now and then too just to help erase the trauma. Loved that show as a kid but what did I know? I didn't have any idea what dreck and drivel was! I listened to the Archies and thought Bobby Sherman was hot. Ginger was my first impression of how a desirable woman was supposed to look and act. Some twisted crap going on there.

Poor Mary Ann, never quite Ginger.

Yet, Bush and Cheney walk the Earth as free men. There is no God.

I heard, years ago, that the actors were screwed quite badly on residuals for GI. Free Mary Ann!

In case you missed it in the other comments section . . .

if her co-host had been arrested for DUI, we'd have Pickled Ginger!

Quiz ten guys and ask them if the were "Mary Ann" or "Ginger" guys. My guess is either 8 or 9 of them were Mary Ann guys. I know I was. She was so much more interesting than Ginger. And a lot cuter.

I love the fact that Mary Ann possessed Mary Jane.
