Who are...

The place to talk. "On topic"? "Off topic"? We make no such petty distinctions here.

Who are...

Who are Jonas, Roy and Willie? ("Willie" is more a rumor than a proven fact.)

Acquaintances of Eunice and Thurston. And a couple of women who I shan't name.

yep, yep, yep... Pierce, O'Reilly and Houlihan.


Don't you ever go to sleep?
Don't I ever go to sleep?


And my favorite trivia question to see if somebody's paying attention (and it is related to the other two):

Who are Gordon Sims and John Caravella?

Of course, certain of my acquaintances get this instantly, because they have all worked in the same 'business'...

I don't ever go to sleep. :(

(I'll leave that q for someone else. It's time for me to do something that LOOKS LIKE sleeping.)

I'll take a crack at this one.


Are they Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap?

Consider it cracked. Although you did get them in the wrong order, one-half point off of ten.

If anyone didn't get it from themanwho, here is the answer to the original question:




Here: Jonas is "Skipper" Jonas Grumby, Roy is "Professor" Roy Hinkley, and Willy, well Willy is presumably the first name of "Gilligan", all characters from Gilligan's Island. The first two were actually named in the very first episode, Gilligan was never called Willie, but The creator of the series (Schwartz?) later said in an interview that that was to have been his name.

I've never heard "Lovey" called Eunice, but I'll take themanwho's word for it.
