Early Gilligan, character development..........

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This was the second episode of the series and it was time to start showing some traits of the Minnow's crew and passengers. After a downpour the Skipper organizes building a hut to protect them.They all end up with separate huts due to their 'special' needs. Unfortunately, none of them are master hut builders and Gilligan somehow destroys them all. Silly situations abound with Gilligan wearing the girls dresses (to dry them by the fire), Ginger sweet-talking tools and materials away from Gilligan. Mr. Howell playing golf with a bamboo club and avocado pit for ball. Most of these actors had careers before and after the show which ran only 3 seasons (but endlessly ever since in re-runs)but we will always remember the cast in these iconic baby boom roles.
