Ever since the debut of the sitcom GILLIGAN'S
ISLAND/CBS/1964-67, the debate has raged.
On the 11/19/96 installment of THE ROSIE
O'DONNELL SHOW guest Dawn Wells said that some
young women of America now asked prospective
dates the telling questions "Are you a Mary Ann
type?" or "Are you a Ginger type?"
If the person answered Mary Ann, they were
looking for a solid relationship. If the person
said they preferred Ginger, they only wanted a
one night stand.
