@@FactsVerse Dude, you make mistakes all the time. You use the most ridiculous click-bait red circles which make no sense on most of your thumb-pics. The only thing I am ever shocked and surprised at is how popular you are, so.........hat's off and congrats. :)
You wrote exactly what I was going to write so I just piggybacked on your post with a thumbs-up. Ginger is not ugly (obviously,) but she is over the top. It's not her fault but her part. Even so, Maryann is still prettier. What makes her hotter is her the roll she played...innocent farm-girl awesomeness. I think Maryann always rated higher than Ginger, even back then, so if that is the case then the studio got it wrong to pay Ginger more. If that is true then it begs the question; did they pay Ginger more than Maryann because in the role she played she was richer? If that is the case that would just be dumb. Shout out to Maryann for helping me through puberty!😉
@@FearsomeR4Z3 After they fired the original actors they were considering Jane Mansfield or Bridgette Bardot for Ginger, of course they would've had to dye their her hair red or change her name. Wouldn't really work to have a blonde Ginger.
Ginger had better comic timing (in my opinion) and since the show is a comedy, I always preferred her. Just for laughs, mind you. So I guess... I found a way to debate it after all.
In the 1st season, we see the Minnow leaving the harbor as the theme song plays. If you look closely, the American flag is at half staff. It was shot right after Kennedy was assassinated and all flags were at half staff.

Gilligan's Island was filmed in the back lot at the CBS Studio where the lagoon was built, this was already in a documentary on the series Gilligan's Island, The Lagoon was constructed at the CBS Studio Center back lot. It was located about half a mile from an interstate roadway and the sounds of rush-hour traffic often resulted in huge delays in filming.. The Lagoon was only about 4-feet at its deepest point. Filming of "Gilligan's Island" occurred during the fall and winter months and required cast members to sometimes swim in the chilly 50 degree water. Bob Denver often wore a wet suit under his clothes to combat the cold temperature. it is all here in this link -> gilligan.fandom.com/wiki/Gilligan%27s_Island_Wiki
Thank you for covering yet another one of my favorite tv shows from when I was a little kid. I am thoroughly enjoying being able to go back in time every time you post a new video from a show I watched and didn’t think would have been a wonderful memory gone by! Keep up the good work 👍
FaZePlague 9882 exactly. I wasn’t even born until 1968 but I got into watching the reruns when I was probably around 5-6 years old. Thank you for your reply 🥀
It was my fav after school show. I was a year old when it started so I obviously didn’t watch then. But I believed the episodes actually were prime time originals. 😁
When I was a child my family was on vacation in California and we visited Universal Studios. There, we were shown where they filmed Gilligan's Island in this little tiny cove. We found it funny. This was the time they showed us how superman flew, the Star Trek models, jaws and some props from the movie, The Incredible Shrinking Woman.
@FaZePlague 9882 Just the cove/lagoon. I was a child at the time, from what I remember the area was the size of a large backyard. After watching this I didn't know they went to different locations to shoot. We seen the Leave it To Beaver house and street, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas starring Dolly Parton. I took my sister back in 2003 and it changed so much..
@@sherricarlson839 I have been in a few studios and sets. Many people of the (TV) viewer types would be amazed if they saw how small most sets actually are.
@@GarretGrayCamera Yes, we spent the day at Universal Studios. I remember we had to get to the other side of this area of water, we were in a tram and the water opened up/parted so the tram could cross the other side. I was like 12 I think. I promise it was Universal Studios. Maybe then they were one company???
@@falconater68 Gomer wasn't a qualified mechanic in AG. Wally didn't trust him to be more than a pump jockey. He was afraid to work on the Continental that Sunday. Cousin Goober helped him blow out the lines when Wally refused to look at the car till Monday. As Andy said, "Gomer's not a mechanic" Goober drove the tow truck and eventually became a full mechanic when he replaced Gomer.
How about another "dis-fact": But this one is probably on the shows producers. The "S.S." Minnow was not a steamship. So, the name should not be S.S. If powered by engine(s), it would the the M.V. Minnow.
I read somewhere that the Minnow was equipped with sails if needed so the SS was supposed to refer to Sailing Ship. The ship itself was both sails and a diesel engine according to the article. That being said, the previous response was correct in that back in the day the SS originally stood for Steamship.
@@wirehairs that's correct also! She was crowned Miss Nevada in 1959 and apparently went on to compete in the 1960 Miss America Pageant. I don't think much came of the Miss America bid. Btw if you are Interested there is a nice article online that shows a pic of Dawn when she was in that pageant. Absolutely beautiful, and it's just a head shot. It says she was 5' 3 1/2" tall. Plus a lot more. Her full name - Dawn Elberta Wells. I think if you just google searched 1959 miss Nevada it will probably come up.
As my wife put it, and I agreed, in the real world which is not television, Mary Ann would pair up with the Professor. After a while, the Skipper and Gilligan would find themselves punching above their weight with Ginger, and she would mostly be making them miserable when she was not trying to break up Mary Ann and the Professor or the Howells. Ginger is a narcissist and a hussy. If you don't realize with Ginger it's all about Ginger, you are a bit slow on the uptake.
Wrong answer! The actual Island that was used in the opening is a privately owned Island almost dead center of Kane'ohe bay on the leeward side of Oahu. Public knowledge in Hawaii!
I am sure you are correct. My cousin who has lived in hawaii his entire life. While I was in Hawaii, he took us out on his boat and we passed right by the island you are talking about. And he told us the same thing. When I saw this video, I was starting to wonder if my cousin might have been kidding with me. But seeing your reply is confirmation that he wasn’t making it up just to mess with me.
I would say it IS in Hawaii, since that fact is also pointed out in another person's youtube video on the same subject.. That other person also pointed out that the "lagoon" was actually artificially created behind the studio building where they shot the "Hut area" of their camp. Sadly it was paved over and built upon by the studio. If search for it, it is a very informative video.
I grew up watching this show .... I loved Mary Ann.... at that time, her and 2 other actresses I loved, me being a young boy, 1)Natalie Wood 2) Claudia Cardinale .. then Mary Ann (late Dawn Wells) - God bless!!!
Im still trying to figure out why Mr. Howe had a suit case full of money, his wife had tons of perfume and Jewelry, and the Professor had all thoses instruments and bottles........just to go on a 3 hour tour.
Because they were going home from a Hawaiian vacation and had time for the tour before going to the airport. After checking out of the hotel the brought their luggage with them. Same with all of Ginger's outfits.
@@vyratron839 ... if you are old enough to remember back that far, the newest thing on the market were mercury batteries, which lasted at least 10 times longer than normal batteries of the same size. They were popular for campers, boat people, and those who wanted an emergency radio for their bomb shelter. Of course they were expensive, but doing the math it was cheaper than buying 10 sets of replacements. These days anything with mercury as a consumer item is going away fast. (fluorescent bulbs and thermostats as an example)
The tour itself was supposed to be three hours. A storm-driven ship can travel quite a distance, given wind, time, current, and storm direction. There- the 10 years I spent earning my Ph.D in Gilligan’s Island Studies were not wasted!
Even more odd that they could build a space ship. Then go into outer space and get lost on a planet. Instead of just staying in orbit and reach Hawaii. If you want to count the Gilligan's planet as Cannon.
@@aliceshaw8265 ... micro bikinis didn't exist in that era. Besides, it was hard enough to get that sort of thing by the network censors back then. You couldn't even show a bra commercial on TV in the early 60s, unless it was on a manikin. (true story)
Total head over heels crush on Mary Ann . I had a humorous crush on her back then. And carry that puppy love kind of crush to this day. It takes a lot more than years to change a loving desire that strong.
He's British. "Jeeves and Wooster" 1992 clearly shows *Pensacola, Alabama* on a map of the off Broadway train tour. Kansas was a southern tier territory coming in as a state, beside Missouri. That's what all the fuss was about with John Brown.
Here’s a little twist for you. The S.S. Minnow is an oxymoron. S.S. stands for “Steam Ship”. This boat wasn’t anywhere near being a Steam Ship! It was either a diesel or gasoline engine powered boat. It should never have been classified as an S.S.
Mary Ann was from Kansas, she was not a "Southern Bell" as you state at the 25 second mark. I also would not say Gilligan was a younger Barney Fife, they had little in common in personality. Yes they both screwed things up, but Gilligan was 10 times as bad as Barney did in that respect. I don't think you have watched much of either show, whoever wrote this,.
I always thought that lot were a bit suss. Why did the Howells have all those trunks of stuff with them for a three hour tour? Why was Ginger all dressed up for the same? What was the professor actually a professor of? Someone was up to something. Loved the show though and Maryanne was always my favourite, I found Ginger a bit boring.
You have Ginger and Mary Ann. As the Professor, you look at your fellow males, and you realize that you are both the smartest and the best looking one there. Do you really want to get off of the island? This is why he can make radios out of coconuts, but "can't" figure out how to fix a boat.
I seem to remember him getting tired of the repetitive seafood and coconut meals. He never expressed any serious romantic feelings for Maryanne or Ginger. He did try repeatedly to create long lasting glues, but failed because the island had no suitable raw materials to do so.
Did you know that the last Minnow has been restored and calls Qualicum Beach home . About 4 years ago they invited Dawn Wells up to go for a Cruise on it .
I think Dawn Wells is in her mid 80's, and is having some health issues. But I've seen pictures of her recently, and for someone in her 80's, she is still beautiful! She is the best!
When Gilligan's Island was in it's original run, there were people I knew from the who thought that the holes in the minnow were caused by lightning strikes, when it was caught in the storm.
Ginger preferred your company when, and only when it got her something. Mary Ann was attractive, sweet, altruistic, and genuine. Some guys might date Ginger once. Most fellows would fight to wed Mary Ann. Even if they, and you were boys of 10 years age, which would you want as a friend? Skimpy shorts weren't necessary. Mary Ann could beat Ginger wearing a raincoat with her personality. IMO, they did a good job in casting Dawn Wells.
The castaways of the S.S. Minnow were “Lost”. Ginger or Mary Ann? I can’t choose, so I’ll have both! Don’t leave Mrs. Howell out, some people prefer her over Ginger & Mary Ann (mainly for the money, I suspect).
Mary Ann or Ginger????
MaryAnn love that mid west farmer girl
No contest Marianne who wants a stuck-up Starlet
Gotta be Mrs. Howell! She's much older and richer which means not only would you inherit a fortune, you wouldn't have to wait long to get it!

Even more odd that they could build a space ship. Then go into outer space and get lost on a planet. Instead of just staying in orbit and reach Hawaii. If you want to count the Gilligan's planet as Cannon.
The boat was damaged beyond repair with glue.
@@TryniaMerin if they had flexseal they might have made it sail
@@cyberdalekyeti Cannon, with William Conrad?? ;-)
Ginger! Now that's a tall, cool drink of water!
Mary Ann!!!!!!
Mary Ann , back when I was watching the show as a kid I like Ginger, but after I hit 16 in 1979 and still today at 57 it’s MARY ANN.
A 3 HOUR TOUR AND 3 MILLION RERUNS LATER. ITS ALL GOOD.
I pick Mary-Ann over Ginger anytime
Mary Ann for sure...what a Body!!!
Mary Ann!!!
Hands down Maryann. 😙😙😙😙
Liked the show but as a child at that time I always wondered about the clothing they had brought with them for a three hour tour.🤔
To this day, I'm astonished by the Howells and their trunk full of money!
@@vilstef6988 Yeah, people tended to use traveler's cheques back then.
And the radio batteries lasted forever.
@@aliceshaw8265 ... micro bikinis didn't exist in that era. Besides, it was hard enough to get that sort of thing by the network censors back then. You couldn't even show a bra commercial on TV in the early 60s, unless it was on a manikin. (true story)
@@martengravenstein6241 ... if you watched this clip closely they had fashioned batteries out of various parts and coconut shells.
Mary Ann for sure ❤️😊👍
Total head over heels crush on Mary Ann . I had a humorous crush on her back then. And carry that puppy love kind of crush to this day. It takes a lot more than years to change a loving desire that strong.
I would never call Mary Ann a Sothern Belle.
She always struck me as a midwest gal.
He's British.
"Jeeves and Wooster" 1992 clearly shows

on a map of the off Broadway train tour.
Kansas was a southern tier territory coming in as a state, beside Missouri. That's what all the fuss was about with John Brown.
She was. I'm pretty sure she was from Kansas.
I can't believe I fell for this, Mary Ann is like a spring day on the farm. City slickers haven't a clue.
Marianne definitely
Here’s a little twist for you. The S.S. Minnow is an oxymoron. S.S. stands for “Steam Ship”. This boat wasn’t anywhere near being a Steam Ship! It was either a diesel or gasoline engine powered boat. It should never have been classified as an S.S.
Mary Ann was from Kansas, she was not a "Southern Bell" as you state at the 25 second mark. I also would not say Gilligan was a younger Barney Fife, they had little in common in personality. Yes they both screwed things up, but Gilligan was 10 times as bad as Barney did in that respect. I don't think you have watched much of either show, whoever wrote this,.
Maryann , she maintained her beautiful looks for a Long time !
At least Maryanne could make me a sammich!
Mary Ann, hands down.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann, Mary Ann, Mary Ann
I always thought that lot were a bit suss. Why did the Howells have all those trunks of stuff with them for a three hour tour? Why was Ginger all dressed up for the same? What was the professor actually a professor of? Someone was up to something. Loved the show though and Maryanne was always my favourite, I found Ginger a bit boring.
Absolutely Maryanne. But Mrs. Howell was a tasty bit of crumpet also.
With out a dought MARY ANN,
You have Ginger and Mary Ann. As the Professor, you look at your fellow males, and you realize that you are both the smartest and the best looking one there. Do you really want to get off of the island? This is why he can make radios out of coconuts, but "can't" figure out how to fix a boat.
I seem to remember him getting tired of the repetitive seafood and coconut meals. He never expressed any serious romantic feelings for Maryanne or Ginger. He did try repeatedly to create long lasting glues, but failed because the island had no suitable raw materials to do so.
Did you know that the last Minnow has been restored and calls Qualicum Beach home . About 4 years ago they invited Dawn Wells up to go for a Cruise on it .
It was supposed to be a 3 hour boat ride, but a storm washed them up on a desert isle, what a coincidence!
It was classy for Dawn to see her again before she passed away. RIP🙏
Ginger is prettier than Mary Ann and that's what made her fitting as a Movie Star in the TV-Series.
Thanks for watching, Stephen!
@@FactsVerse :You're Welcome!
Mary Anne on weekdays Ginger for weekends
Mary Ann 24/7!
I think Dawn Wells is in her mid 80's, and is having some health issues. But I've seen pictures of her recently, and for someone in her 80's, she is still beautiful! She is the best!
When Gilligan's Island was in it's original run, there were people I knew from the who thought that the holes in the minnow were caused by lightning strikes, when it was caught in the storm.
Same place they filmed McHale's Navy and Creature From the Black Lagoon.
Ginger preferred your company when, and only when it got her something. Mary Ann was attractive, sweet, altruistic, and genuine. Some guys might date Ginger once. Most fellows would fight to wed Mary Ann. Even if they, and you were boys of 10 years age, which would you want as a friend? Skimpy shorts weren't necessary. Mary Ann could beat Ginger wearing a raincoat with her personality.
IMO, they did a good job in casting Dawn Wells.
You got that right. Ginger was nothing but a gold digger.
My honeymoon was at the Coco Palms Hotel! Great hotel, People and mostly uninhabited island!
Actually, the show was filmed @ CBS Studio Center in the "Studio City" district of Los Angeles.
Yes, and at the show ending, you can see the top of a sound stage in the upper left when it zooms out with them sitting on the beach
Of course, MARY ANN!!
Mary-ann was always my favourite. Dawn Wells was a real head-turner back in the day...
Dawn Wells was a hotty back in the day & it's sad she passed away back on December of last year from Covid at age 82.
The castaways of the S.S. Minnow were “Lost”.
Ginger or Mary Ann? I can’t choose, so I’ll have both!
Don’t leave Mrs. Howell out, some people prefer her over Ginger & Mary Ann (mainly for the money, I suspect).
The actress Natalie Schaffer better than both of em when you check out the younger version
I suspect Mrs. Howell because she can take her teeth out
@@dasgoofinhiemer5039 You must have had some unfortunate, perhaps traumatic, experience... I’m just saying, not asking;-)
very nice 👍
Ginger or Maryanne? Maryanne baby.
I enjoy your videos keep up the good work.
Glad you like them!
Mary Ann 100%
Come on now it’s sweet innocent Mary Ann, a girl you can bring to your parents house.
