Who sinks whom?
Undercard: Aerandir, Erellont, and Falathar versus Ensign Parker, Gruber and "Tinker" Bell.
******************************************
The audacious proposal stirred his heart. And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory. He opened his lips to sing and share this song. Then he realized that the others would not understand. Not even Mithrandir given his current state of mind. So he smiled and simply said "A diversion.”

Lt. Commander McBorgnine and the motley inept gaggle of PT-73 were quickly closing on the soon-to-be Flammifer of Westernesse and his boat of timber felled in Nimbrethil. But having no Silmaril as they struck the dreaded Night of Naught they were driven rudderless back across the Sundering Sea by a wind of power in Tarmenel where they were ship-wrecked near Plum Pudding Island.
Interesting side-note: Thirty-six PT boats later one Lt. JG John F. Kennedy gave swimming lessons at or near to this selfsame spot.

Hello BG, and now on the very same island they met another set of castaways?
"Gilligan, the skipper too, the millionaire and his wife, the movie star, the professor and Mary Ann....here on Gilligan's Island."
Might have a new reality show, McHale's Navy vs Gilligan"s Group for control of the island. Would be like "Survivor" - the sitcom edition.

Hello BG, if you're going with Have Gun Will Travel, I imagine you'd want Maverick, the Rifleman in there, and what about the folks from Bonanza, Gunsmoke?? Hot time in the old corral tonight.

Ya, the “Wire” was telegraph. No phones yet I reckon.
Ah, the good old ‘50s – I was a teenager  giving away there…. And I feel fortunate to grow up in a time of cars of artwork; Milk Duds at the movies  (always a double feature with a cartoon & news); candy cigarettes, …
I recall a trifecta on TV every week (one or the other). And I DO recall parts of the theme songs.
♪ Who is the tall dark stranger there. Maverick is the name.
Sugarfoot, Sugarfoot, easy lopin’ cattle ropin’ Sugarfoot.
Cheyanne, Cheyanne, where will you be campin’ tonight. Lonely man Cheyanne … ♪ Er, even the girls watched that big handsome bruiser Cheyanne (Clint Walker). * Swoon* 
“Oh, Cisco!” “Oh, Pancho!” “Yippee ki-yay” . . . .

Hello BG, i would feel remiss if i overlooked "The Wild Wild West" -- it broke some of the rules for the tv western with supernatural, 1800s sci fi, steampunk streak?? but robert conrad as jim west was great along with ross martin as artemus gordon, the reliable talented pardner. conrad said WWW was conceived as James Bond on horseback in the old west after the civil war. always thought shows were crazy creative in their plots and really entertaining. bonus!! with jim and artie you of course get dr. loveless, the incomparable michael dunn. might be fun add to the tv western reality show. loveless skilled in any survivor type conniving plotting vs others....

RIP Michael Garrison, WWW creator, who died tragically of a fatal fall, during the show's 2nd season. Gave something unique, interesting to the TV western.)
