Anyone who has seen the moronic face of Gabrielle Union (most recently in the horrible Night Stalker TV series) knows that Foxxy Love must be a caricature of the buck-toothed actress who always seems to walk around with her mouth open in a perpetual goofy grin.

I have watched Drawn Together a few times, and it is not very funny. Most of the yucks come from the shock humor, like when Foxxy was pleasuring herself with a vibrator. I thought that scene was a perfect Gabrielle Union moment, and laughed a lot.

The little characters that are similar to Pokemon and Sponge-Bob are only funny if you watched those shows and associate them with something positive. Then you see them giving blow-jobs and doing other weird things and there is a slight shock effect. That gets old about halfway through any episode. Even watching Gabrielle/Foxxy doing the lesbian scenes that often happen is not enough to get me to keep watching. If only this show was actually funny.

This has got to the campiest TV show of all time. When you look at Gilligan's Island you see a stereotype of the different types of people who make up our society.

You have the working closet gays (Skipper and Gilligan); the intellectual college homosexual Professor; the bisexual stripper, model, actress, coke whore (Ginger); the sweet closet lesbian (Mary-Ann) and the older rich kinky swingers (the Howells).

It could be like the Cheney and Bush family (Cheney and his wife as The Howells; their daughter as the sweet lesbian Mary-Ann; GW Bush as Gilligan, Rumsfeld as The Skipper, Condoleeza as the intellectual college lesbian (she isn't married either), and Ginger as GW's wife). Too bad this show didn't last another season.

I would have loved to have seen them do an adult movie reunion. The real Gilligan's Island (not the reality show). Perhaps the saddest part of the history of Gilligan is that Ginger turned into a major head-case who did not want to be type-cast and basically ended up with no career. At least Jim Backus had Mr. Magoo, and Bob Denver had been on several other shows before Gilligan.

Aye, laddy, did anyone think it was beyond gay that some creepy old communist saboteur would be baby-sitting Will Robinson all the time? It seemed like Dr. Smith kept taking Will into every dark cave he could find. Even in bonnie olde Scotland that kind of man who is always lifting his kilt around the wee lads would be put into the Tower of London.

What about Will? The lad seemed to enjoy it. Not a good sign, but then Will only had his sister Penny to teach him the ropes, as it were. It seemed like the premise of the show was confabulated. Each space traveller should have had at least one partner of the opposite sex. After all, the entire family was presumably seeding a new planet somewhere in the galaxy. Where was Will to deposit his seed?

The Lieutenant was paired up with Marta Kristen (Judy) who was a great piece of booty back in 1965. He lucked out. I remember those olden days, when I used to sneak off to watch Lost In Space by myself so that I could hope for a glimpse of some of Judy as I rubbed me bagpipes. Judy was my dream honey except when Barbara Eden came on in I Dream of Jeanie.

Meanwhile Penny got the chimp, and Will got Dr. Smith. I bet they must have been bitter about the way the cards played out. Fortunately for them, it was only a TV show and it got canceled after three years. Can you imagine if the show had lasted ten years? Will at 20 would have had to either do the deed with Penny or pair-up with Dr. Smith. It would have been a much more kinky show if only it had lasted a few more years.

Overall, Lost In Space was a weird show that had some kinky themes, and too much of Dr. Smith. Even now, when I watch that show, I realize how under-used Guy Madison was. He was a good actor too, and yet most of the show is about Will and his gay uncle, Dr. Smith. Even the movie which was done years later sort of glommed on to the homo angle.

Well, aye was able to see this bloody awful show, and I can honestly say it is the worst thing that I have ever seen. My mates had me over to view a few episodes they have down-loaded, and we all had to laugh at what right horrid tripe was presented! Having bought the original DVD set, I half-hoped that the name of such a good show would not be blighted by the likes of a crassly poor remake. What bullocks! The lead actor is not suited at all for the role, and his sidekicks look like refugees from the Benny Hill show. What's up with the photographer? Gawd, I can't believe that anyone would have green-lighted such drivel. Gabrielle Union hasn't a bleeding clue. What's she doing on that show? The whole cast seems to be working this as some kind of summer-stock. I gather none of them has made any long-term plans to stay on. Seems like they joined the cast so they could collect a few quid between gigs.
