Trivia

Thurston Howell III was probably named after Howard Thurston, the magician. In fact, he was even given a magician's kit to make the parallel exact. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: In "Two on a Raft", just as the Skipper and Gilligan finish fighting off the sharks, the Skipper's hat falls off his head and into the water right in the path of one of the sharks, and it looks as though the shark was going to make off with it, but in the next shot the hat is back on the Skipper's head.

Crazy Credits

During the first season's opening credits, for some reason neither The
Professor (Russell Johnson) nor Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) received an onscreen
billing, nor were they referred to in the theme song. They are just
referred to as "... and the rest." For season two they were added at the
request of Bob Denver, who played "Gilligan" and thought it was stupid to
leave out the two actors just to shorten the song by a few notes. See more »
