Yes, Gilligan, there are gorillas in the midst on your island, and it's going to take something more than pretty flowers and scented perfume to get them to be distracted. Noone believes him however until it is too late, and that is after Mr. Howell has accused people of stealing one of Mrs. Howell's valuable diamond brooches. So there are wild animals on the island, and it's only taken nearly two dozen episodes for it to be revealed as to what one of them is. The gorilla first tangles with Gilligan, then kidnaps Mrs. Howell, then Gilligan finally when he's doused in Mrs. Howell's expensive perfume. Mary Ann is finally taken, but there's one more victim of the gorilla's monkey love before he'll let the humans go. It is silly but cute, something for the kiddies to laugh at, and obviously short actors in gorilla suits were in as we found out in sitcoms of the 1960's. So the next time that Gilligan tells people that he's seeing things, let's not presume that Gilligan has just gone bananas.
