Trivia:
The lagoon set was located at the CBS lot in Studio City, CA. If sequences there were filmed too early or too late in the day, microphones would record rush hour traffic noise from a nearby freeway.See more »
Goofs:
Errors in geography: Episode, "Gilligan's Island: X Marks the Spot (#1.18)" (1965), the radio announcer gives the target coordinates for the Powderkeg missile as 140 degrees latitude, 10 degrees longitude, which the Skipper (an old salt in these waters) and Professor confirm. Lines of latitude only go up to 90 degrees. Transposing the coordinates, though (to 10 degrees N latitude, 140 degrees W longitude) would place the missile several hundred miles southeast of Hawaii - the approximate location of their island.See more »

Classic comedy., 17 July 2004
Author: SmileyVision from United States

I grew up on the reruns of this series,and I must say I love it.It was a very unique idea for a series,and the idea was carried out very well. What I especially enjoy about it is the Laurel and Hardy like relationship between Gilligan and the Skipper.Everyone associated with the series should be proud of it,and I do believe they were done wrong by the CBS network when they were canceled before a final "rescue" episode.All we ended up with was a cheesy "rescue" movie that wasn't done very well,and that we had to wait twelve years for on top of that. Thank goodness we still have the old reruns,where we can look in on our stranded friends,and the same old episodes never seem to get old.A classic.
