Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The ship's name, S. S. Minnow, was not named for the fish but rather for Newton Minow, head of the FCC in 1961. Minow was the one who called television "America's vast wasteland". Sherwood Schwartz did not care for Minow so he named the soon-to-be shipwrecked ship after him. 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: What is this slop?
Skipper Jonas Grumby: It's Gilligan's own creation, Mr. Howell, It's coconut pot pie.

Why are you reading this?, 12 July 2002

If you're old enough to use the computer, you've probably watched Gilligan's Island. Are you checking to see what other people think about it?

I remember every day after elementary school, I'd come home and watch Gilligan's Island, then Star Trek, the old series. It was the way of the world. I can still taste the cookies and milk I'd wolf down, and occasional apple.

One thing for sure: my parents knew that when I was watching Gilligan's Island, it was clean. Do we even have anything as purely non-sexual and clean as this series? (Ahhh Dawn Wells... siiiigh)

Our local cable provider recently started carrying a channel that replays Gilligan's Island, and I've watched them all again through the eyes of an adult. Even though I knew every line, and what would happen in every episode, I still laughed and felt like a kid again.

Maybe someone would complain that the portrayal of the Japanese sailor who doesn't know the war is over is a horrible stereotype, and did anyone notice how.... white... the cast is? But who cares? It's just fun, like a live action cartoon.

By today's standards, something like this would never even be proposed, let alone produced.

Maybe we need more shows like this!
