In the episode "Alf" somewhere above the Impact, also alternately titled "The Ballad of the Island of Gilligan" (September 28, 1987), the furry little alien Alf (expressed by Paul Fusco), becomes obsessed by watching the "Giligan Island" repetition. Alf dreams of living with Sherwood Schwarz's steadfast in 1964, feeling that they are pleasantly funny and live in a tropical paradise. What could be better? He starts dressing in Hawaiian shirts and ordering bamboo furniture, hoping to turn Tanner's usual unpretentious household into something more interesting. (Part of the show's premise is that Alf should live hidden in the suburban home of Tanner, kept in secret from the world, so that there is no existence of foreigners to throw the earth in panic.)

Alf's obsession with "Island Giligan" is led by the tanari yard, where he begins to dig the whole grass, hoping to create a tropical lagoon just like his favorite show. This causes Willy (Max Wright) to become furious and he demands that Alf fill the whole dirt he dug. As he fills the yard back, Alf falls asleep and begins to dream. Of course, he dreams of living within the Island Giligan. However, in a turnaround, he is not on the "Giligan Island" as he appeared in the 1960s, but what may seem in 1987, today's Alf's day.

For the dream sequence, the creators of Alf have hired the original "Island Gilligan" Starswoli Dawn Wells, Russell Nsonson, Alan Hale, Runior and Bob Denver to repeat their roles. They also reconstructed a new version of the original Giligan Island sets, and Alf had to have more scenes interacting with the characters, making jokes and learning about how their lives were 20 years later.

It was the third to the lately when members of the Giligan Island team would unite to pay tribute to the show, followed by only guest places at "Baywatch" in 1992 And At "Rosana" in 1995. The episode "Rosana" also does not really consider, as surviving members of the Island Giligan (Wales, Nsonson and Denver) appeared playing the Rosana characters in a scene. Only Denver and Wales participated in Baywatch.

Tina Louise, the actress who played ginger, did not return to Alf, as she notoriously refused to participate in most of the subsequent projects of the Island Giligan (however, Rosana). Jimim Bakus and Natalie Schaffer, played by Howels, also did not appear in the 1987 Sitom, as Bakus has been struggling with Parkinson's for several years, and Schaffer, already 87, slowed his acting.

There was a turnaround in Alf. Not only were the characters "Giligan Island" older, but they were trapped on the same island for more than two decades. Their congestion and isolation make them hate their lives. Indeed, a schism was formed among them, with Howels and Ginger moving to the other side of the island in protest (hence why they are absent). The caste, "Alf" learns, hates coconut cream pie, hates their diet with fruit and regrets the huge work needed to stay alive. Illilligan, skipper, Mary Ann and Professor Long for escape and accuse Gilligan, who is quite tired of absorbing their ranch. He even hates being called a "little friend" because the deviations are now in his 40s and 50s.

Alf is trying to illuminate the mood, asking for their old school omen -satin shanani as they were used to seeing them in repetitions. The cessation explains that their lives are not sitcom and that if Alf was a witness to any humorous shenanigans, they only lasted for a 30-minute spit. For the most part, their lives were always boring on the island of Giligan. Alf served as a metanarative commentary on one of the most prolific reneer sitcoms in the history of the medium.

In the end, Alf is written from Castaways to - just like in the world of waking up - makes difficult labor. He was ordered to grab a shovel and fill the lagoon, because Castaways would like the space to play miniature golf. Alf begins to realize that Sisyphean tasks have always been a reality of the characters "Giligan Island" and that suffering is much in life.

This concept is stuck at home when, in a target, Castaways gather to watch television. The professor was able to build one of a TV pipe that washed off the coast of fear of years before, allowing them to catch their favorite sitcom. Their favorite show, Alf finds out, is a show for all Tanner, Alf's family. Taners have no adventures, really, but Castaways want to see the loveube and the comfort of their daily lives. They openly comment on eating quality meals, taking warm showers and a more extensive wardrobe.

Alf wakes up to learn his lesson. TV -fantasy, he surprises, is not worth losing one's yourself. The extent to the Tanner family should be enough. "Giligan Island", it was real, it would be boring and painful.

Alf's writers both paid tribute to "Giligan Island" with "over" and slightly crashed. Sherwood Schwarz probably wouldn't have liked Alf's cynicism after he once said Giligan's Island was to be, at least one level, an idealized democracy where people of all classes come together and survive. In showing Castaways how to split into separate groups and complaining about the horrors of their lives, the ideals of the Island Giligan were shining.

But then, it was only a dream, so it can be argued that every cynicism of the exhibition was invented by Alf himself.
