Meanwhile, Gilligan complains of being called "Little Buddy" into his forties, and Mary Ann is only making healthy meals and fruit for dessert, the Professor commenting that coconut cream pies were bad for their blood sugar levels (and they were sick to death of them anyway). They have become bored and tired from doing the <i>same thing for over twenty-five years. </i>When Alf complains that they're not being the funny wacky characters he's seen TV, the Castaways, turn on him, and order him to dig dirt to fill in their lagoon to build a miniature golf course for their entertainment, while they turn to a makeshift TV the Professor built to pick up a TV signal. Their favorite TV show is "The Tanners" which reminds them what regular life is all about back home, with them all pining for things that the Tanners can do, like take warm bathes, eat meatloaf and apple pie, and change clothes. Alf now realizes that Gilligan's Island is 'only fun in half-hour chunks' as Willie (through the Professor's TV) breaks the fourth wall and declare that Alf wanted to be on Gilligan's island, where the fun never stops. Alf begs to return home, just before he wakes up, now disenchanted by "Gilligan's Island" and more appreciative of what he has with the Tanners. Unfortunately, a few days later, Alf has latched into another TV show, turning the Tanner back yard into the Ponderosa from "Bonanza." </p> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Cast</h2> <p data-rte-fromparser="true">Main Cast/Gilligan's Island </p> <ul><li><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Bob%20Denver%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Bob%20Denver%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BBob%20Denver%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-9726802865f60a0fbae704" href="/wiki/Bob_Denver" title="Bob Denver">Bob Denver</a> as <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Gilligan%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Gilligan%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BGilligan%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-9726802865f60a0fbae704" href="/wiki/Gilligan" title="Gilligan">Gilligan</a> </li><li><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Alan%20Hale%2C%20Jr.%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Alan%20Hale%2C%20Jr.%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BAlan%20Hale%2C%20Jr.%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-9726802865f60a0fbae704" href="/wiki/Alan_Hale,_Jr." title="Alan Hale, Jr.">Alan Hale, Jr.</a> as <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22The%20Skipper%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22The%20Skipper%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BThe%20Skipper%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-9726802865f60a0fbae704" href="/wiki/The_Skipper" title="The Skipper" class="mw-redirect">The Skipper</a> </li><li><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Dawn%20Wells%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Dawn%20Wells%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BDawn%20Wells%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-9726802865f60a0fbae704" href="/wiki/Dawn_Wells" title="Dawn Wells">Dawn Wells</a> as <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Mary%20Ann%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Mary%20Ann%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BMary%20Ann%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-9726802865f60a0fbae704" href="/wiki/Mary_Ann" title="Mary Ann">Mary Ann</a> </li><li><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Russell%20Johnson%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Russell%20Johnson%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRussell%20Johnson%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-9726802865f60a0fbae704" href="/wiki/Russell_Johnson" title="Russell Johnson">Russell Johnson</a> as <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22The%20Professor%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22The%20Professor%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BThe%20Professor%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-9726802865f60a0fbae704" href="/wiki/The_Professor" title="The Professor">The Professor</a> </li></ul> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Main Cast/Alf </p> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">Paul Fusco as Gordon "Alf" Schumwey </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">Max Wright as William "Willie" Tanner </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">Anne Schedeen as Kate Tanner </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">Andrea Elson as Lynn Tanner </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">Benji Gregory as Brian Tanner </li></ul> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Guest Cast </p> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">None </li></ul> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Trivia</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">The Howells and Ginger are not seen in this episode;
