Gilligan’s Island: 3x8

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Gilligan wakes up with white hair, and thinks he overhears the Professor say that he has a rare disease that has made him age quickly (the disease? «  »follicular albinism » »). When Mrs. Howell attempts to fix the problem by dyeing Gilligan’s hair brown, the dye causes his hair to fall out. A classic line occurred as the other Castaways tried to act as though they don’t notice Gilligan’s baldness … Mrs. Howell’s famous breakfast order: «  »I think I’ll have a hard-bald egg. » » Later, the Skipper exhibits the same symptoms. The Professor determines the problems are caused by the crude bleach that Gilligan and the Skipper have been using while washing the castaways clothing.
