TV Shows - Gilligan's Island
Gilligan's Island was an American TV sitcom originally produced by United Artists Television. It aired for three seasons on the CBS network, from September 26, 1964 to September 4, 1967. It was sponsored by Philip Morris & Company and Procter & Gamble. The show followed the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive and ultimately escape from a previously uninhabited island where they were shipwrecked. In 2002, Gilligan's Island came back as a reality show, similar to Survivor, where 7 contestants were shipwrecked on an island. They then had to recreate the original Gilligan's Island sitcom with costumes and props.

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but how is it the Soviet Union obviously knows the castaways are shipwrecked on this island but the US doesn't have a clue? And yes, I do mean the entire "Soviet Union", not just select hapless citizens who stumbled upon them by accident like Harold Heckuba, The Mosquitos, or other Americans who find them there. That Russian body double of Gilligan's didn't show up by accident. He KNEW who he was impersonating before he ever disembarked. Then there was the Russian who tried to use them to rob Fort Knox. How'd he know they were there to be his patsies? Then there was the "ghost" Russian played by Richard Kiel ("Jaws" from the Bond movies). He knew they were there too, else who was he trying to scare off the island / blow up? And why did the Russians want the castaways dead? Very weird plots in those "Russian" episodes that makes you wonder if they weren't trying to make them look smarter than their "clueless" American counterparts. Apparently if you were American, you were a dolt unless you were Professor Roy Hinkley lol. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on June 12, 2012, 3:21 pm - (0 votes)

I liked this show when I was younger. I'm sure, if I watched it today it would be corn ball. I will say that the Mary Ann, Ginger debate is still alive and well today. Well at least at my work anyway. Mary Ann! -- Submitted By: (Jp) on November 11, 2011, 10:49 pm - (0 votes)

Several years ago I was on a jag of reading autobiographies of 60's & 70's TV stars (Barry Williams, Mickey Dolenz, etc.) One of those Auto-Bio's I read was that of Russell Johnson titled 'Here on Gilligan's Isle.' Very entertaining read if you ever come across it.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Before reading that book, I never knew that Russell Johnson was one of the top contenders for the role of Captain Christopher Pike in the original Star Trek pilot (the role which ultimately went to Jeffrey Hunter). -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on May 12, 2011, 10:56 am - (1 votes)

Russell Johnson used to come into my bookstore once in awhile. Ironically, though his character the Professor was given practically no good lines on the show, being the ultimate straight man, Johnson is a funny guy in real life. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on May 11, 2011, 8:24 pm - (2 votes)

I would be inclined to think that if the events of Gilligan's Island had happened to a real group of castaways- After Gilligan had messed up the first two or three opportunities to get off the island, he probably would've met with an "unfortunate accident" in the Lagoon. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on October 12, 2010, 3:12 pm - (2 votes)

Agree, MaryAnn was so hot, I had such a big crush on her in Junior High. Forget Ginger or Lovey - MaryAnn was the bomb. Eventually I got married to - you guessed it - a farm girl from Kansas! We moved to California and had a wonderful family - thanks Dawn Wells! -- Submitted By: (smaxie) on May 11, 2010, 2:11 am - (0 votes)

Mary Ann was sooo hot. That island would have been as populated as the Philippines had I been stuck on it with her and Ginger. Hell Lovey Howell could get some too.
This show was good clean fun, a humorous escape from the hustles and bustles of everyday life, frustrating as heck though. There were too many easy ways for these dummies to get off that island. Cheesy and cheap looking show. Loved it anyway. never Boned -- Submitted By: (fletch000) on February 9, 2010, 5:35 am - (1 votes)

Good question, SVN.
Maybe they figure everyone's got the DVDs. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on April 18, 2009, 10:18 am - (0 votes)

"Gilligan" is a terrific classic show! How come no one's showing it in reruns now? -- Submitted By: (SVN) on April 17, 2009, 9:25 pm - (0 votes)

I used to watch this show in reruns all the time when I was a kid (after school, at about 3:30 or 4 in the afternoon.) I didn't even realize for the longest time that they only made a few seasons of it in the first place. years ago, I seem to remember that they made movies based on it (like "Rescue from Gilligan's Island", and that kind of thing.) I always thought it was pretty funny, Gilligan was always my favorite!

I've often wondered if the Professor sabotaged things for the others. I mean, he could build all kinds of kooky things out of coconuts so that they had nearly all the comforts of home- yet he couldn't figure out how to patch the boat or send a signal? Come on! I think he knew that Ginger and Mary Ann wouldn't have given him a second look had they not been stuck there! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on March 25, 2009, 11:35 am - (1 votes)
