    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the first-season opening credits, Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells were relegated to being simply "the rest," allegedly due to Tina Louise's insistence that no one be listed after her in the opening credits . That changed in the second season when Bob Denver demanded that they be given an equal share in the credits, thus changing the lyrics to "The Professor and Mary Ann". Sherwood Schwartz, who composed both themes, has said it didn't occur to him the Professor and Mary Ann would turn into prominent characters.
    • Goofs
      On a number of occasions, the castaways encounter people, whether other castaways or fugitives in hiding, who have been on the island for 10 years or more, prior to the arrival of the Minnow (Wrongway Feldman, Dubov the painter, and the jungle boy). All these characters regard themselves each as being the only person on the island. How big is this island that all these people could exist there so long and never know about each other?
    • Quotes

      Gilligan: Hiya, Professor. What are you doing?

      Professor Roy Hinkley: I'm making notes for a book. It's to be a chronicle of our adventures on the island... I think it's a book people will want to buy, don't you?

      Gilligan: Sure, I'll buy one. I'm dying to find out what happens to us.

    • Crazy credits
      During the first season's opening credits, neither The Professor (Russell Johnson) nor Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) received an on screen billing, nor were they referred to in the theme song. They were just referred to as "...and the rest." For seasons two and three, they were added at the request of star Bob Denver, who thought it was stupid to leave out the two actors just to shorten the introductory song by a few notes.
    • Alternate versions
      Colorized versions of the first season's black and white episodes have been broadcast on TBS, TNT, and MeTV, and Australia's Foxtel
    • Connections
      Edited into Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (1987)

    Truly classic television appropriate for anyone to see

    I have always been a fan of this show and I grew up with it.

    I have to say that being in my late 30's now, I still enjoy watching it. There is nothing in the show to offend anyone and you don't have to worry about something inappropriate for young viewers. Not too many shows nowadays are around that you can let a child watch that doesn't have something that is either offensive or has objectionable content.

    Oftentimes, if I come home after a hard day at work, not physically tired but mentally exhausted, the perfect thing for me is to turn on a television show that doesn't require too much thinking, its just fun and that is what Gilligan's Island is for me. It is a very welcome stress reliever to come home and spend thirty minutes laughing and getting rid of the stress of the day.

    It is truly a classic television show because of the stories; the theme song and the cast and their chemistry. Everything is a perfect blend.
