43. Castaways Pictures Presents
This remains one of the most popular of all episodes because of its sheer ridiculousness. After discovering crates, filled with costumes, film cameras, make-up, etc., in the hull of a sunken ship at the bottom of the lagoon,
Mr. Howell directs a silent epic explaining the Castaways' plight. They set
the film adrift in hopes that it will save them; however, when it's found, the
film is heralded as a possible lost work of Ingmar Bergman and
given first place at the Cannes Film Festival.

62. Will the Real Mr. Howell Please Stand Up?
At this point, we all thought the writers of our show had begun feeling the effects
of island fever. This episode really came out of left field. Remember the one where we hear

and even Lovey can't tell them apart?

spies who have been parading around the island in sheets
