    'I'll call you when I get there'. The phone near the stone is for that call, or signifying that call. So sad. So much loss in the last few years.

    Yup, I watched Gilligan’s Island too as a kid, plus adulthood as well . That was the era of good comedy . We also had I Dream of Jeannie, Brady Bunch, Bewitched and the Partridge Family ( I had such a crush on David Cassidy ). 😂😂😂😂 Wish I could go back to those times, sitting around the TV and watching these shows with my folks .
    I always thought Dawn Wells was a down to earth beautiful lady .

It was such an incredible honor to meet her. Such a sweet person. She was dearly loved & is so incredibly missed. Well done Scott.

      The professor pretended that he couldnt patch the boat, because he wanted to stay on the island with Maryann where food & cotton for clothes easily growed. Looks like they could have guarded the arrivals on the island, but all of them snuck off.

    What people liked about her was her natural beauty, and her olive colored skin, that marks a real beauty I have watched quite a few channels that have covered her graveside, but as usual you have hit the mark, and have presented a very well researched video and the usual flair for truth, this is why I like your channel the best.

    Gilligan’s Island was one of the dumbest shows ever BUT it’s also one of the greatest comfort shows ever. If I’m feeling really down and depressed, Gilligan and his goofy friends are guaranteed to make me feel better and remember what it was like to be a kid. So many happy memories.

I'm an 80's/ 90's kid and we had lots of reruns on tv. Gilligan's Island was always a good watch. I never thought I'd be lucky enough to ever meet anybody from the show. I'm glad I was able to meet her and a list of others from TV and Movies. RIP Dawn and thanks for the video Scott!

We had 2 girls who would take turns playing Mrs. Howell and I had to sometimes be Mr Howell. Lol such great memories of a fun lighthearted comedy.

    The re-runs that I watched while growing up were the original Star Trek series and Gilligan's Island. Both 3 season series, but we've still got a treasure trove of episodes with networks then producing 20+ episodes a season. I still would catch Gilligan's Island on TNT in-between classes in college. After this remembrance, I now want to gather the series. I was team Mary Ann: she was the girl next door and beautiful inside and out.
