Trivia:
The three-man folk singing group The Wellingtons sang the theme song for the first season, but were replaced by a similar sounding group, The Eligibles, for the following seasons. The Wellingtons (plus one) also portrayed 'The Mosquitoes' in a classic episode of the series: "Gilligan's Island: Don't Bug the Mosquitoes (#2.12)" (1965). more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: With the new remastered DVD releases of the 2nd and 3rd seasons - which were filmed in color - the makeup lines around various character's exposed skin reveal unnatural looking and very sharply defined makeup border lines (i.e. the Skipper's shirt collar, Mary Anne's shorts) rather than the gradual fading of a natural "farmer's tan." more
Quotes:
Thurston Howell III: You goofed, didn't you?
Robot: I am not programmed for that information.

Robot: I am not...
Thurston Howell III: Oh shut up!

A True Classic, 29 March 2003
Author: Brian Washington (Sargebri@att.net) from Los Angeles, California

This has got to be one of the campiest shows of all time. When you look at all this show you see a stereotype of the different types of people who make up our society. You have the working guys (Skipper and Gilligan), the intellectual (the Professor), the sex pot (Ginger), the sweet girl (Mary-Ann) and the upper crust capitalists (the Howells). Too bad this show didn't last another season. I would have loved to have seen them do a series finale instead of the horrid reunion movies. Maybe if they did it that way we could have gotten another season where Mr. Howell builds a resort on the island and Gilligan was the jack of all trades that really kept things rolling.

Also, the biggest question of all, Ginger or Mary-Ann?
