This is a fabulously written episode and the dialogue is hysterically funny. It's also one of the "sexiest" episodes in that Ginger and Mary Ann are besides themselves with attraction. No, not to each other! To Duke Williams, famous surfer!
Duke surfs his way to Gilligan's Island and lands on the beach and passes out. Gilligan and the Skipper revive him and get him on his feet again. He meets Ginger and Mary Ann. Both girls start salivating and drooling, which is funny to see because they can usually control themselves. Here they seem to have no self-control whatsoever! They ooh and aah over everything he does. And he's happy to oblige them. He shows off his muscles to them and they quiver and shiver and salivate. Maybe this will be the episode that finally has sex! It sure looks that way! But hold on, pardner, this is a family show! So it doesn't quite go that far. But it sure seems to want to. It's bursting with sexual tension. This has the most sexual tension of any episode in the series.
One of my favorite scenes is Duke interacting with Mr. And Mrs. Howell. They think he's an actual "duke" and he thinks they're crazy. It's a very funny scene.
Okay, so the castaways want to get rescued and they think Duke can help them. They think Duke can surf back to Hawaii and then send help. But Duke would rather hang out with the girls. So they have to trick him to get him to surf back. And he has to catch a very big and dangerous wave called a Tsunami. He catches the wave and surfs back to Hawaii. But then something happens. I won't say what because I don't want to spoil it.
This episode is just so darn funny. Denny Miller is marvelous as the dim-witted muscle-bound surfer.
