One of my favorite episodes. How many TV shows give you a reunion of another show? I am glad the cast could be brought together like this before we lost Gilligan and the Skipper. A fun episode!

Great episode! Easily 5 stars for me. Though the only thing I can think of every time I watch it is how much I want Anders' script
