Have you seen Lost? Have you forgotten more than you remember? And is what you remember just all honked up anyway? I think this little movie will clear up a lot the story lines. If you haven't seen lost, this will show you the beauty that is Lost.

I've always said they should remake Gilligan's Island. What we got was Survivor and Lost. That being said, Mary Ann is a pothead.
Quote:'Gilligan's' Mary Ann caught with dope
DRIGGS, Idaho (AP) -- Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," is serving six months' unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car.
She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.
Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts - driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance - were dropped.
On Oct. 18, Teton County sheriff's Deputy Joseph Gutierrez arrested Wells as she was driving home from a surprise birthday party that was held for her. According to the sheriff's office report, Gutierrez pulled Wells over after noticing her swerve and repeatedly speed up and slow down. When Gutierrez asked about a marijuana smell, Wells said she'd just given a ride to three hitchhikers and had dropped them off when they began smoking something. Gutierrez found half-smoked joints and two small cases used to store marijuana.
The 69-year-old Wells, founder of the Idaho Film and Television Institute and organizer of the region's annual family movie festival called the Spud Fest, then failed a sobriety test.
Wells' lawyer, Ron Swafford, said that a friend of Wells' testified that he'd left a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle after using it that day, and that Wells was unaware of it. Swafford also said several witnesses were prepared to testify that Wells had very little to drink at the party and was not intoxicated when she left. He said she was swerving on the road because she was trying to find the heater controls in her new car.

If they were all potheads on Gilligan's Island, that would explain a lot. If I rewatch that with this in mind, I'm sure it would be a lot funnier.

I thought MaryAnn was in the news for pot before...
From a Star Magazine article in 1998 when the Bob Denver bust above occurred:
Quote:1998 - PRINCETON, West Virginia (CNN) -- Bob Denver, known to many as the title character on "Gilligan's Island," has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of possessing marijuana and was sentenced to six months' unsupervised probation.
Denver, who also played beatnik Maynard G. Krebs on television's "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" from 1959 to 1963, made a surprise appearance at the courthouse, but the county prosecutor said entering pleas early is not unusual.
Police arrested him June 4 after getting a tip that a package containing marijuana was sent by a delivery service to his Princeton home. He had been scheduled for trial September 3 on charges of possessing about 1 1/2 ounces of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
GILLIGAN'S DAWN WELLS CAUGHT UP IN INTERSTATE DRUG STING
Gilligan's Island star Dawn Wells has gone into hiding since being caught up in the scandal surrounding co-star Bob Denver's pot bust. STAR has learned that Wells, who played coconut pie-baking Mary Ann in the legendary '60s sitcom, disappeared from her Los Angeles home and hired a criminal lawyer after her name was dragged into an investigation of a drug ring spanning three states.
"She's totally stressed out," said her attorney, Donald J. Calabria. "She's a nice lady being punished right now."
Narcotics cops say they found 16 canceled checks made out to Wells for amounts ranging from $340 to $700 when they raided Denver's Princeton, W. Va.,home on June 4. The raid came after the officers were tipped of that a package containing marijuana had been mailed to Denver.
"When Denver's house was being searched, the checkbook was found and the amounts were written in, in the amount that the marijuana had cost," Detective Kevin Compton told STAR.
"If Wells was charged and convicted in West Virginia," he added, "she would receive 16 felony counts of conspiracy to delivery marijuana, earning one to five years in prison for each count."
Denver told cops that Wells has been his supplier since 1995, according to one well placed police source.
According to the source, Wells ordered two packages of pot - one to be sent to Denver and one for herself at her Toluca Lake, Calif., home fro a Pueblo, Colo., drug house in June. A drug-sniffing dog caught a whiff of the weed - and police intercepted the suspicious parcels.
When 63 year old ex-sit-com star Denver opened his door, an undercover cop dressed as a Fed Ex delivery man dropped off the 1.25 ounce package of pot. An unsuspecting Denver signed for it - signaling a team of six cops to move in with their search warrant.
Wells, the 54 year old former Gilligan's Island actress - turned cookbook author, freaked out when she learned of Denver's arrest, insiders say.
She immediately hired Calabria as her lawyer, changed her answering machine tape, and left town.
Her attorney maintains she's innocent.
"Dawn and Bob have been friends for 35 to 40 years now," he said, adding they are friends and have business dealing.
He claims Dawn is ready to talk to authorities. "No one has even approached us," he said.
"The allegations are totally unfounded and untrue."
But police in Wells' California community say that even if the allegations were true, the amount of pot involved was not enough to bother with.
"We'd cooperate, but there's really not alot to go on," said a Los Angeles detective. "We deal in thousands of kilos of cocaine at a time It's ludicrous to think that we're going to mobilize a team of 10 cops to stake out Wells' home for less than an ounce of pot."
Denver, when he appears for a scheduled Sept. 3 court date, faces a minimum of six months in jail and up to a $1,000 fine on misdemeanor drug charges.
