@ 0:50 - I used to do something similar in a facebook group, only with comic books. Took comics of our youth and pointed out the oddities/inconsistencies/silliness of certain panels/scenes. And just like you, I had my share of people who left me the "not so nice" comments, accusing me of demeaning the work of great artists, etc. And I said the same things you are - I loved/love those comics, and the artists/writers, and was just having fun with it out of love. Some people take things too seriously, and consider any critique - however benign - to be a personal attack on the creators, and, most likely, themselves! You do a great job. I love your vids AND the original shows you're goofing on!
Tvcrazyman, don't let the haters get to you. It's amazing where you work hard to put out entertainment for free and they gotta complain. It says much more about them then anything else. You put out great content and do an amazing job. Thank you for everything you do. Great job.👍👍👍👍
Never mind the haters. They're on Every platform across All of Social Media, even sites like LinkedIN now! 🤦🏻♂️ You're Always entertaining, and informative, which is what We All Need!! Keep going Dude!!!! 🤘😎🤙
11.23.2023 @tvcrazyman Thank you for posting these. I'm from waaay back & used to watch G.I., Scooby-Doo & the Flintstones after school. The blooper that I wanted to mention, I'd just seen while watching G.I. on tubi. It's in the Home Sweet Hut episode. Mr. Howell is talking with Gilligan & grabs the machete from him. I'd never grab or hold a machete like that. I'd be missing all of my fingers. Look closely next time.😵
“Before Hollywood got corrupted with money and power.” 😃 Yeah, back in the 1960s movie stars made minimum wage, and heads of MGM and Paramount had to sell brownies in shopping centers to raise money for their blockbuster movies!
To put a gentler spin on your sardonic prose, by 1960 Hollywood was just as corrupt as it is today. Tell all books from stars and commoners alike spoke of the drugs, sex, abuse and insanity of a business rich in filthy lucre. The difference was that the press bought into the glam and glitz and did their best to protect the stars and the studios. Afterall, everybody wanted to get invited to the parties. One bad story and the Hollywood elite would cast you out. I think the original poster was looking back at the past through the gentleness of rose colored glasses. The difference was that the shows on TV helped to hide all the filth of Hollywood- on full display today. In the 1960's, Hollywood was in its heyday- at the height of its money and power. Funny how they still don't realize how far they have fallen in both... Hollywood, the name and the studios, are very nearly ready to fold up. Even pre COVID they were in trouble and now then seem hell bent on their own destruction. They fight over much smaller pickings these days, while leaving the raunch of their ways in full display. @@brianarbenz1329
@@tvcrazyman the issues about the castaways clothes was noticeable.... Aside from The Howells and their luggage.....the rest of the Castways seemed to have only the clothes on their backs......and after 15 years according to the First Reunion movies...the one set of clothes would have worn out over time. you don't have to be on a lost island for 15 years to know that. it seems both Mary-Ann and Ginger had more clothes then what they wore..... maybe they barrowed clothes From Mrs. Howell the only other woman on the island............of course she wouldn't wear clothes that Mary-Ann and Ginger did................we have to remember one thing this was Early TV and movies as well.........your not going to see Mary-Ann and Ginger in their birthday suits. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that sort of thing was banned back then.
Dont pay attention to haters, they dont have to watch. I love ur bloopers and it makes me respect what the actors and staff had to do to make the show happen!!
@@tvcrazyman the Professor always annoyed me.......his science additidue and not beleveing in strange things like ghosts or voodoo....just wanted me to punch him out...🤣🤣🤣 ok yes people have a right to believe or not believe in such things.........I agree with Skipper in one episode that the Professor was a stubborn person........I believe anything and everything is possible.........but believe it or not Professor seemed to believe in one thing during the Christmas Episode Gilligan wishes they could be rescued.........and Professor said that is to much for Santa. who would have thought he would believe in Santa.🤣🤣🤣
I hope you all enjoy my latest goofs video. This one takes me back to my childhood big time. I think the first series I really remember watching was Gilligan's Island re-runs. I used to watch it every week day. I probably saw every episode about 200 times at least when I was a kid. Seems like there wasn't a year that it wasn't showing every day on some channel back then and sometimes more than one channel.
At the end of the 2nd and 3rd season shows end credits, they are on the beach you can see the studio building in the background behind the trees in the upper left corner of the screen.
Thanks. I love those 2 episodes he's in. I've always been fascinated how he was only in 2 episodes and both of them were about time travel which is one of my favorite sci-fi story elements.
If you look off in the distance during the intro where the Minnow was on the first season, you'll also see power lines. I don't think they had power lines on a deserted island. I love watching your bloopers and trivia on these old shows. Now, I'm looking for goofs on a lot of shows. Keep up the good work!
How did Ginger have so many dresses? Her luggage washed up in the lagoon the next day. How did she clean the sea and dirt out of those dresses? Easy- the Professor used coconuts to make soap. God bless the Professor- he built a bomb big enough to silence a volcano out of coconuts. Coconuts- nature's wonder fruit.
Yes and a generator to recharge the radio batteries too. Gilligan had to ride a bike attached to the generator to charge the batteries. About the only thing he was good for, actually. The Skipper sure was not gonna do it, lol.@@Scottocaster6668
At the end of the 2nd and 3rd season shows end credits, they are on the beach you can see the studio building in the background behind the trees in the upper left corner of the screen.
Another thing. The vessel departs the marina with a flying bridge, then “the tiny ship was tossed”, there was NO flying bridge. Finally, on the beach, it is back again!
At the end of the episode Waiting For Watubi we see Gilligan holding onto a tree after the wind keeps blowing harder until his body lifts up. If you look at the base of the tree, the wind blows the grass at the base of the tree up to reveal that the tree has a wooden base.
The Skipper always takes coconuts to the noggin, but those things can kill ya. I used to wear my hard hat to mow my lawn when I lived in Florida, I had 14 of those trees and when a coconut fell you knew about it
3:50 Ginger made the S.S. Minnow dress from Gilligan's duffel bag.🙂 12:14 The guy on the right is there to blow out the candle, you can see him puckering up & blowing.
The three hour tour included free lunches. A typical plate lunch consisted of two scoops of rice, macaroni salad, and teriyaki beef or peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.
In "V for Vitamins", I thought for sure you were going to point out that the professor's idea to plant the orange seeds so that they would have oranges, surely would question his intelligence. It would take at least 7 or 8 years to bear fruit at the earliest, and Gilligan told the girls early on in the episode that they only had a few weeks to live ("The bigger you are, the faster you go" - and the girls put down the food they were going to eat). To emphasize the professor's lack of awareness in this episode is his line, "Gilligan, if those seeds die, we die!" So I guess he was saying that they all had at least 8 more years to live..
Obviously this show was before my time but enjoy watching it despite the cheesiness. I always figured the mystery man at the lagoon was ‘skippers’ stunt double or something.
One more: as you mentioned, pineapples are a good source of vitamin C. Yet they shouldn't grow there. Pineapples come from South America; they were brought to islands like Hawai'i by fruit companies. If Gilligan's Island was never discovered by western civilization, who would have planted pineapple trees?
Thanks. It was always on TV when I was a kid. It was about the best show on in between game shows and soap operas which I hated those soap operas my mom watched. That was way back before I had even started going to school. Thank goodness we got cable later in life.
Great job as always, Tvcrazyman! I think showing the bloopers actually gives us interesting insights into how TV shows were made back in the day on tight schedules and budgets. Keep up the good work!
I remember the vast collection of phonograph records (Carmen, Toreador, Tales of Hoffman) but they had to make the record player from stuff on the island.
Very True with today's modern TVs and HD cable catching or seeing a blooper is really easy today but back in the 60 s and very early 70 s most people just had a black and white TV sets with a basic rabbit ears antenna spotting a blooper was a pretty hard to spot but some of the bloopers just hits you right in the face
Great job... In regards to the Howells being married and the changed years, could it be based on how long they've been stuck on the island and it may have been a reflection of that??? Just my opinion...
Why did some have lots of luggage? In MY head canon, they had checked out of their hotels and were taking the Minnow Tour before heading to the airport to catch their evening flights.
The son was added to "Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island" because Jim Backus was supposed to feature more prominently in it, but he was dying of cancer, and too unwell to do the movie (he appeared in one scene though) so they introduced a son to carry the load and to just give Backus's lines to. I think Jim Backus passed away soon after this movie.
Yes, he was very sick at the time. When he left he received applause from everyone that was there on the shoot. I wish they would put the reunion TV movies on DVD like they have the series.
My biggest problem with the professor is that he's smart enough to make a radio from parts he has available, but he can't put a boat together using all those coconut trees? (They actually do this in the TV movie where they get rescued). And honestly, since Gilligan is the one that prevents them from being rescued week after week after week, if this were real he would probably have been thrown in a bamboo jail at some point!
TVCrazyman Don’t you dare devote anymore time to the idiots. You’ve plenty of us who love the videos and nostalgia you provide. Focus on us, not them! If you let it, it will stress you to death.
Another one was that when they all packed themselves into that tiny claustrophobic cave when in fact there were much larger caves throughout the island they could have gone in to wait out the big monsoon that was coming.
I have always maintained that it wasn't a TOUR, it was an inter-island charter. The Minnow sign at the beginning says "Island Charter". If the ship was traveling island-to-island, it explains a LOT of the conundrums: The Howells had too much luggage to go by plane. Mary Ann, we're told, won the trip in a contest. Ginger, star that she is, wants to travel anonymously, and the Professor, being low-paid as is typical of teachers and professors, went because it was cheap. The theme uses "tour" because it rhymes with "brave and sure". I rest my case!!
Not a goof, but interesting trivia (though sad). In I believe every opening titles sequence where you see the boat leave port you'll notice there's a U.S. flag at half staff. It was filmed just after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Some say it was filmed on the same day, November 22, 1963. Others state that it was filmed on the 26th. Either way...flags would have been at half mast or half staff. BTW, mast generally refers to a vertical spar on a boat...usually a a sailboat. Staff refers to the ground-based pole holding up a flag.
Regarding the quantity ans gregariousness of Gilligan Island bloopers I really feel that they were all scripted by the writers. Not accidental continuity errors
According to a Honolulu newspaper article from November 1963, the original Minnow (the one seen sailing out of the harbor during the first season) was a fishing boat named the Islander which the production crew rented for filming. The shipwrecked Minnow was a similar-looking but totally different boat that was bought and purposely banged up for filming, according to that same article. The version of the Minnow that disintegrated in episode 8 was a prop boat built by CBS. This is, in fact, the same prop boat seen shipwrecked in the color episode credits.
And it’s true that Sherwood Schwartz named the boat in dishonor of FCC commissioner Newton Minow (he added an n to the boat’s name to keep the show out of hot water). Schwartz felt Minow’s support for shifting from corporate sponsorship of shows, to advertisers buying single commercials shipwrecked TV entertainment.
How many times did Gilligan ruin their chances to get off the island? I think they had several opportunities to get off the island but Gilligan ruined almost all of them.
“🎶 No phone, no light, no motorcar.” Those lines from the closing theme are sort of a goof, all due respect to author Sherwood Schwartz. Whereas a phone and light could have been useful, how exactly did having no car make their lives worse? Where exactly could they have driven the coveted motorcar?
Remember Marshall Gilligan looking like Gunsmoke? It's kind of strange because when Gilligan was canceled, I remember seeing gunsmoke come on after that. Also some people might remember Bob Denver on an early show Doby Gillis. But before Gilligan's Island he also appeared on The Andy Griffith show as Charlene's husband. It's really a shame that the show only ran for three years! It was very funny but I guess they just ran out of ideas.😮
The story goes that some studio exec's wife wanted Gunsmoke to stay on the air, even though its ratings were slipping. If you watch "Surviving Gilligan's Island", Some higher-ups were telling Sherwood Schwartz "If the execs like Gunsmoke, then we like Gunsmoke." I think they were supposed to finally get rescued at the end of the 4th season, but obviously that didn't happen.
I enjoyed the video, pretty interesting!! I actually saw a behind the scenes photo somewhere online where the sand tapers off and the studio floor begins.
Bob Denver as an actor was a trooper, with nerves of steel and cajones the size of watermelons! In the lion episode in the first take sprung at Denver only the trainer leaped and wrestled the lion to the ground preventing Bob from being mauled or killed. Without batting an eye Bob Denver in character as. Gilligan immediately reshot the scene as though nothing had happened. Bob Denver was divorced during the Gilligan Islands. The number two for ratings show was canceled after being renewed, because a VPs wife wanted her near dead last show and canceled to be renewed, called Gunsmoke. It’s why I detest studio executives, especially those at See-B….S… Some cast members had purchased homes after being informed of the upcoming 4 th Season.
Yeah, they were done dirty. If you tell somebody they have a job you shouldn't go back on your word like the way they did them. CBS really had it in for a lot of good shows back in the late 60's especially. I think Gunsmoke was a decent show the first few years, but towards the end I think they were running out of good story ideas, so they should have let it go, especially when Gilligan was doing better in the ratings.
@@tvcrazyman If only Bob Denver’s next TV series had Alan Hale, Jr as the Diner Owner instead of Herb Edelman, (Hale had a guest role as a truck driver, and Jim Backus guests in the first season) of the Good Guys. The show that tanked Denver’s career.
@@Renshen1957 Bob Denver had another TV show that tanked in 1973, called Dusty's Trail. It was a ripoff of Gilligan's Island with 7 characters in the Old West.
The show had some dark subjects too. In Court Martial, both Skipper and Gilligan try to hang themselves. The Hunter was particularly creepy. I didn't think much of it when I watched it as a kid, but human hunting has to be one of the most horrible things that could happen to a person. Mr. Howell had a firearm, and I sort of wish someone would have used it to put Mr. Kincaid in his place when he was trying to murder poor Gilligan.
You're doing a great a great job. Just ignore the negative trolls. Tried my hardest to watch all Gilligan's Island back in the 60s but there were so many great TV shows on that many overlapped time slots being on different TV stations. There was no video recorders back then. I was always a fan of Jack Palance and I am sure he did guest in a Gilligan's Island episode. Does anyone know the name of that G.I. episode? Another question, the lion at 11:58 looks remarkably like the same lion in the Addams Family TV shows. It has same appearance and walking character. Is it the same lion? Anyone know?
Were there any episodes in addition to the pilot and the one where they are trying to repair the SS minnow that were filmed on location besides those two? I know, of course they had the lagoon to save money on the budget.
Heres something the lyrics say 5 people and yet there are 7 people gilligan, the skipper,the professor, ginger,mary anne, mr howell, mrs howell and whats even weird other people have visited the island and left the island when those people were rescue or made it made it civilisation they never mentioned oh yeah there were 7 people who seem stuck on the island and their clothes always remained in perfect condition and those who came came and left island no one recognised ginger being a movie star and also didnt recognise the howells as rich people
Another great video. My question is how long does it take you to watch a compile on average for one of these shows all the goofs at things that you notice.
It took longer for this video. Not counting time I might take for re-watching a show I plan on doing a video for in the future, it can take me anywhere from 2-4 days to get a video done. I think my videos are getting longer though so I may be getting faster.😀
Here we go again trying to apply logic to comedy...."was the professor all that smart?" Does it really matter? Gilligan did not invent the glue, the Professor discovered Gilligan's pancake syrup had properties of glue....yes there was an over abundance of clothes...but that's just one of the absurdities that made the show funny.
@ 0:50 - I used to do something similar in a facebook group, only with comic books. Took comics of our youth and pointed out the oddities/inconsistencies/silliness of certain panels/scenes.

Thank you very much!
I watched it when it was new , and still watching it in 2023 ...
Before the show, Russell Johnson was in the Roger Corman movie "Attack of the Crab Monsters".
Russell Johnson was also in It Came from Outer Space and This Island Earth. Russell also appeared in many TV western shows during the early 1960's.
better than anything on TV in 2024
I swam in that nasty lagoon on the old set.🤢 So fun, at CBS, the only thing left in1969/ 1971 was the lagoon and the cave Gilligan hid out in. 🤷🙋🥰

The Skipper sure was not gonna do it, lol.@@Scottocaster6668
Love this show one of my favorites own all three seasons on dvd love seeing goofs
I attribute all "goofs" to Gilligan's hat.
As a kid I thought studio outside scenes was similar to the lagoon outdoor scenes
At the end of the 2nd and 3rd season shows end credits, they are on the beach you can see the studio building in the background behind the trees in the upper left corner of the screen.
Excellent video - thanks
Another thing. The vessel departs the marina with a flying bridge, then “the tiny ship was tossed”, there was NO flying bridge. Finally, on the beach, it is back again!
It also had a smoke stack leaving hawaii but no smoke stack on the beach.

I never thought it was meant to be a documentary, like "I Dream of Jeannie"
Lol loved your video I grew up with this and others from the 50s I knew there was a lot of goofs but I still love them keep the vids coming.
one has to watch Gilligan as though it's cartoon
Obviously this show was before my time but enjoy watching it despite the cheesiness. I always figured the mystery man at the lagoon was ‘skippers’ stunt double or something.
I bet you are right about that.
Great video thanks for sharing
I enjoyed watching this, thank you.🇬🇧🕊
Fake Mrs. Howell looks like Eve Arden
It's a prequel to Lost
I wonder if it was the same island. 😀
One more: as you mentioned, pineapples are a good source of vitamin C. Yet they shouldn't grow there. Pineapples come from South America; they were brought to islands like Hawai'i by fruit companies. If Gilligan's Island was never discovered by western civilization, who would have planted pineapple trees?

You might be on to something good question
Great job... In regards to the Howells being married and the changed years, could it be based on how long they've been stuck on the island and it may have been a reflection of that??? Just my opinion...
Why did the Howells travel on the the Minnow. They were rich enough to own their own yacht.
That's a good question when you think about it. Other people have asked that.
Even as a child, these inconsistencies were often and obvious. Like why all the outfits? Nice video.
Thanks
You skipped the biggest goof of all, why it was cancelled. It was NOT because of ratings.
That's true. It was definitely unfairly cancelled in favor of Gunsmoke which already had been on for a long while.
@@tvcrazyman Something about an executive's wife making the call, I can't remember. I just know it was as dumb as canceling Star Trek.
Yeah the boss's wife wanted Gunsmoke so something had to go so they picked on poor Gilligan.@@TheRadioAteMyTV
I miss the coconut cream pies. Maryann was always baking
Why did some have lots of luggage? In MY head canon, they had checked out of their hotels and were taking the Minnow Tour before heading to the airport to catch their evening flights.
Marianne or Ginger seem to me the question in the 70s.
I love watching your videos! I grew up with all these shows!
Not bad for a low-budget sitcom.
The son was added to "Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island" because Jim Backus was supposed to feature more prominently in it, but he was dying of cancer, and too unwell to do the movie (he appeared in one scene though) so they introduced a son to carry the load and to just give Backus's lines to.
I think Jim Backus passed away soon after this movie.
Yes, he was very sick at the time. When he left he received applause from everyone that was there on the shoot. I wish they would put the reunion TV movies on DVD like they have the series.
Shockingly, Ginger (Tina Louise) turned 90 three days ago!
Wow! 😀
Love your videos!
My biggest problem with the professor is that he's smart enough to make a radio from parts he has available, but he can't put a boat together using all those coconut trees? (They actually do this in the TV movie where they get rescued). And honestly, since Gilligan is the one that prevents them from being rescued week after week after week, if this were real he would probably have been thrown in a bamboo jail at some point!
Or Epsteined.
TVCrazyman Don’t you dare devote anymore time to the idiots. You’ve plenty of us who love the videos and nostalgia you provide. Focus on us, not them! If you let it, it will stress you to death.
Thanks, that's a good point. It's definitely good not to put much thought to negative stuff or it can be stressful.
Another one was that when they all packed themselves into that tiny claustrophobic cave when in fact there were much larger caves throughout the island they could have gone in to wait out the big monsoon that was coming.
That's what I thought. Seemed like they had plenty of explored caves.
I have always maintained that it wasn't a TOUR, it was an inter-island charter. The Minnow sign at the beginning says "Island Charter". If the ship was traveling island-to-island, it explains a LOT of the conundrums: The Howells had too much luggage to go by plane. Mary Ann, we're told, won the trip in a contest. Ginger, star that she is, wants to travel anonymously, and the Professor, being low-paid as is typical of teachers and professors, went because it was cheap. The theme uses "tour" because it rhymes with "brave and sure". I rest my case!!
Very interesting.
The lyric could have been “brave and smarter” to rhyme with charter.
With a whole steamer trunk full of cash.
In the pilot intro the Howes had suit cases with them
Not a goof, but interesting trivia (though sad). In I believe every opening titles sequence where you see the boat leave port you'll notice there's a U.S. flag at half staff. It was filmed just after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Some say it was filmed on the same day, November 22, 1963. Others state that it was filmed on the 26th. Either way...flags would have been at half mast or half staff. BTW, mast generally refers to a vertical spar on a boat...usually a a sailboat. Staff refers to the ground-based pole holding up a flag.
Regarding the quantity ans gregariousness of Gilligan Island bloopers I really feel that they were all scripted by the writers. Not accidental continuity errors
According to a Honolulu newspaper article from November 1963, the original Minnow (the one seen sailing out of the harbor during the first season) was a fishing boat named the Islander which the production crew rented for filming. The shipwrecked Minnow was a similar-looking but totally different boat that was bought and purposely banged up for filming, according to that same article. The version of the Minnow that disintegrated in episode 8 was a prop boat built by CBS. This is, in fact, the same prop boat seen shipwrecked in the color episode credits.
Palm tree by the Minnow could have been cut down to build the huts.😂
And it’s true that Sherwood Schwartz named the boat in dishonor of FCC commissioner Newton Minow (he added an n to the boat’s name to keep the show out of hot water). Schwartz felt Minow’s support for shifting from corporate sponsorship of shows, to advertisers buying single commercials shipwrecked TV entertainment.
Haters? To any haters: SO LONG SOAKERS!
How many times did Gilligan ruin their chances to get off the island? I think they had several opportunities to get off the island but Gilligan ruined almost all of them.
“🎶 No phone, no light, no motorcar.” Those lines from the closing theme are sort of a goof, all due respect to author Sherwood Schwartz.
Whereas a phone and light could have been useful, how exactly did having no car make their lives worse? Where exactly could they have driven the coveted motorcar?
They had a car built out of bamboo and palm fronds. Gilligan chauffeured the Howells.
The Minnow dress was made from a duffle bag...I think Ginger mentioned it.
Remember Marshall Gilligan looking like Gunsmoke? It's kind of strange because when Gilligan was canceled, I remember seeing gunsmoke come on after that. Also some people might remember Bob Denver on an early show Doby Gillis. But before Gilligan's Island he also appeared on The Andy Griffith show as Charlene's husband. It's really a shame that the show only ran for three years! It was very funny but I guess they just ran out of ideas.😮
The story goes that some studio exec's wife wanted Gunsmoke to stay on the air, even though its ratings were slipping. If you watch "Surviving Gilligan's Island", Some higher-ups were telling Sherwood Schwartz "If the execs like Gunsmoke, then we like Gunsmoke." I think they were supposed to finally get rescued at the end of the 4th season, but obviously that didn't happen.
I appreciate and love your work man. U da bomb!!!
Thanks
No, Thank you. 🙏🙏@@tvcrazyman
I would still would take the puppet lion over the CGI. I'm also looking forward to that Adam West and George Reeves film.
😀
The professor could make all kinds of cool stuff like batteries out of coconuts but couldn't make glue to patch up the SS Minnow.
If you were on a tropical Island with Mary Ann and Ginger would you want to leave?
@@DMS-pq8 Yes. I'd miss my coffee and I don't lean that way.
I enjoyed the video, pretty interesting!! I actually saw a behind the scenes photo somewhere online where the sand tapers off and the studio floor begins.
Maryanne Wells ❤️❤️
We know that the professor was smart, didn't he made a radio out of a coconut and banana peels?
Nothing to record the show to and to check things out later. One only saw the show when it was aired.
More Halloween videos please 😃
I'll see if I can think of something else before Halloween gets here. Thanks 😀
Bob Denver as an actor was a trooper, with nerves of steel and cajones the size of watermelons! In the lion episode in the first take sprung at Denver only the trainer leaped and wrestled the lion to the ground preventing Bob from being mauled or killed. Without batting an eye Bob Denver in character as. Gilligan immediately reshot the scene as though nothing had happened.
Bob Denver was divorced during the Gilligan Islands. The number two for ratings show was canceled after being renewed, because a VPs wife wanted her near dead last show and canceled to be renewed, called Gunsmoke. It’s why I detest studio executives, especially those at See-B….S… Some cast members had purchased homes after being informed of the upcoming 4 th Season.
Yeah, they were done dirty. If you tell somebody they have a job you shouldn't go back on your word like the way they did them. CBS really had it in for a lot of good shows back in the late 60's especially. I think Gunsmoke was a decent show the first few years, but towards the end I think they were running out of good story ideas, so they should have let it go, especially when Gilligan was doing better in the ratings.
@@tvcrazyman If only Bob Denver’s next TV series had Alan Hale, Jr as the Diner Owner instead of Herb Edelman, (Hale had a guest role as a truck driver, and Jim Backus guests in the first season) of the Good Guys. The show that tanked Denver’s career.
@@Renshen1957 Bob Denver had another TV show that tanked in 1973, called Dusty's Trail. It was a ripoff of Gilligan's Island with 7 characters in the Old West.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Yes, I remember it, but as I was in school never saw an episode.
@@Renshen1957 This was a nighttime TV show but it was cancelled after one season.
The show had some dark subjects too. In Court Martial, both Skipper and Gilligan try to hang themselves. The Hunter was particularly creepy. I didn't think much of it when I watched it as a kid, but human hunting has to be one of the most horrible things that could happen to a person. Mr. Howell had a firearm, and I sort of wish someone would have used it to put Mr. Kincaid in his place when he was trying to murder poor Gilligan.
In the end though you always knew nobody would ever get hurt on the show.
You're doing a great a great job. Just ignore the negative trolls. Tried my hardest to watch all Gilligan's Island back in the 60s but there were so many great TV shows on that many overlapped time slots being on different TV stations. There was no video recorders back then.
I was always a fan of Jack Palance and I am sure he did guest in a Gilligan's Island episode. Does anyone know the name of that G.I. episode?
Another question, the lion at 11:58 looks remarkably like the same lion in the Addams Family TV shows. It has same appearance and walking character. Is it the same lion? Anyone know?
Thank you very much. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be the same lion.
Was it Clarence the cross eyed lion from daktari series?
Were there any episodes in addition to the pilot and the one where they are trying to repair the SS minnow that were filmed on location besides those two? I know, of course they had the lagoon to save money on the budget.
I don't know of any, but that doesn't mean there wasn't another location shot for sure.
Why did the scene switch to the end when the man in prison released all the birds from their cages? Danny Kaye
WHAT ABOUT MEET THE METOR .. where do they get them silver outfits and glasses? Tag me when you do a video on it.
I appreciate the channel as always.
I do prefer Mary Ann to Ginger any day. Just saying..
The professor's island-sinking hypothesis is being used to this day by equally scientific minded folk.
Heres something the lyrics say 5 people and yet there are 7 people gilligan, the skipper,the professor, ginger,mary anne, mr howell, mrs howell and whats even weird other people have visited the island and left the island when those people were rescue or made it made it civilisation they never mentioned oh yeah there were 7 people who seem stuck on the island and their clothes always remained in perfect condition and those who came came and left island no one recognised ginger being a movie star and also didnt recognise the howells as rich people
2 are the crew 5 are paying passengers
Why didn’t the Howells have their own yacht??
Or Ginger if she were a famous movie star?
Another great video.
My question is how long does it take you to watch a compile on average for one of these shows all the goofs at things that you notice.
It took longer for this video. Not counting time I might take for re-watching a show I plan on doing a video for in the future, it can take me anywhere from 2-4 days to get a video done. I think my videos are getting longer though so I may be getting faster.😀
As always Maryanne is perfect. No bloopers or blunders.😁😁
Dont pay attention to the haters. Theyre miserable and hate themselves so they have to take it out on other people.
Thanks.
😂😂
Here we go again trying to apply logic to comedy...."was the professor all that smart?" Does it really matter? Gilligan did not invent the glue, the Professor discovered Gilligan's pancake syrup had properties of glue....yes there was an over abundance of clothes...but that's just one of the absurdities that made the show funny.
oh c,mon, its not supposed to make sense, like my mother the car..kid stuff, i loved it when i was a kid.
A lot of TV shows were like that in the 60s. Made it easier to forget all the things that were going on in the world back then.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
