No question, the best episodes were the "dream sequence" stories, and this is a Top 10.
It all starts out with a duck? Naturally, with food supplies being very low, the duck could mean rescue (by sending it back to Hawaii with a note attached) or a solid meal! Gilligan is an obvious lover of wild animals, while most of the castaways are preparing for a delicious duck dinner, the sooner the better.
All this goofy stuff leads to a neat dream sequence, and truly one of the best of the series. The gang is attired in western gear and find themselves in a GUNSMOKE-type setting. Cowpoke Gilligan finds himself up against ruthless bad guys (in black), Mr. Howell and the professor. The costumes are excellent, and a fun sequence with some over the top acting; you can tell the cast is having a blast. Ginger is always the best as the seductress, dressed to impress. You have to admit, producer Sherwood Schwartz spend some good money on wardrobe, and it shows.
True, Jim Backus "borrows" the famous line from his role in ITS A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD, "it's the only way to fly..." while talking about the duck. Tom Montgomery did a super job directing, also heading a few episodes for Bob Denver's other series, DOBIE GILLIS.
The best of SEASON 1, EPISODE 7 remastered color.
