Was the skippers name actually ever said on the program?

If I recall it was said only once, during the pilot episode, heard as a radio broadcast about the missing party...

Anyone recall exactly what the Howell's business was?

Not really, but heres a BIO...

Mr. Howell is actually a billionaire and one of the world's richest men, inherited from his father. He met his wife "Lovey" at Harvard and married her in 1944. He remembers it as the day Consolidated General jumped 17 points. Although they've been married 20 years, they both admit that the last 5 years haven't been much of a picnic. But still, Thurston can be remarkably sentimental and romantic with Lovey. Known as the Wizard of Wall Street, he has been convicted 6 times on antitrust suits, and investigated every year for income tax evasion. He owns up to 12 corporations, and as chairman of the board, has 5,000 employees and an office on the second floor. He prides himself as being a Harvard graduate and a registered Republican. He has homes in Palm Beach, Paris, Newport, New York, Monaco, and all 50 states. Thurston has 20 suitcases just for himself. Howell displays little tact, blames the Skipper for the shipwreck, and is always trying to break the castaways' laws and bribe others. He is sneaky, untrustworthy, conniving, greedy and corrupt. Yet, when it comes to the lives of his fellow castaways, he's always exceptionally generous and caring. He refuses to do manual labor, preferring instead to hire Gilligan to work for him. He usually spends his day relaxing with his wife Lovey on the bamboo lounge chairs, sipping tropical drinks, and listening to the stock market report on the radio (which is his). He also enjoys playing golf with bamboo and seashell clubs and reading his only copy of the Wall Street Journal every day. He finds it comforting that the market never goes up or down.

Lets go Red Sox and granite city

Did you hear about Granite City's improvements to customer service? They now have a bank branch located right next to the counter so you can get a loan every time you need a box of receptacles or some wirenuts. Or you can just sign your first born away.

This has been great fun... portions of this had me laughing to the point of tears in my eyes.

Back to the OP though...

Perhaps it would be possible to add a no-holds-barred, enter-at-one's-own-risk, uncensored, parental-guidance-suggested forum where we can make reference to closed threads, have off-topic discudssions, post links to pics and videos, tell slightly-off-color jokes, etc.

Okay, on second thought, that's pressing it a bit too far, I admit.

Actually, I'm not so sure I agree that it is pressing it too far. As I write this it is 10pm ET (daylight, standard, whatever -- it's 10pm you wiseasses) and we have 90+ posts in only 6 hours. There's a pentup demand for tomfoolery!

One of my other favorite forums (powered by the same software, interestingly enough) has a number of "off topic" forums. My favorite is the "Hall of Shame"... I hereby nominate this thread as entry #1!

Seriously though, what would it take to get Mr. Holt to add a sandbox of sorts?
