NOTE: Today (and maybe tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow), I will periodically put up posts that have nothing to do with the election. Come on in and vote in polls, discuss ridiculous books, etc, if and when you need a break. You will be able to find them all by clicking the "election respite" tag.

The something else being Gilligan's Island. I got kinda obsessed with it.

Oh, and the next shows on the PBS ladder after Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street were Electric Company and ZOOM.
