The experimental vegetable seeds

Synopsis

Gilligan finds a box of vegetable seeds. Only after they are eaten do the castaways find out the seeds have been treated radioactivly, giving the castaway super abilities! Mary Ann has super eyesite; Mrs. Howell is superactive and Gilligan is super strong. The only problem is that if the Professor doesn't find a solution the castaways are going to be the healthiest dead people around!

Trivia

  • In the syndicated version, the ending showing Gilligan eating soap and then blowing and poping a big air bubble is cut out.
  • It's unclear, despite the vegetable seeds being experimental, how the Professor ever expected the seeds to grow in an entirely sand based medium. Most vegetables will not grow in such soil conditions.
  • This episode is ranked as the #4 most liked episode, according to E!

Quotes

  • Gilligan - "I bet your father never grew anything on his farm."
    Mary Ann - "He did too!"
    Gilligan - "How could he? I wasn't there to do all of the work!"

  • Gilligan - "An officer? I'm too busy being the whole crew!!"

  • Mary Ann - "I can even see the people on the deck. There's a man in a red and white striped t-shirt, a man in a blue shirt and blue pants and two very beautiful women in bikinis."
    Skipper - "I wish I could see that!"
