I love the Professor. Sometimes he is the only adult on the island and I love the way he has to scold the others like misbehaved children. You see this in a lot of the episodes.
@@LindaMerchant-bq2hp true Gilligan may be Naive and innocent...I think he is blind as a Bat... if I was stuck on a island with two beautifull women....I'd be more interested in them then a bird. it's most men's dream come true to be with two women.🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a former racing pigeon fancier....the initial pigeon is probably a three week old baby. The "fat" silver pigeon is the way a pigeon should look! Cute episode...
The spider in the film was not only creepy but cheesy as hell. Probably would have made an excellent spider for a haunted house tour during the month of October
The ending is classic. After being well fed, exercised and taken care of, Walter flies away from the island leaving the happy castaways stranded as usual.
everyone else always blames gilligan for ruining chances to get off the island....yet the rest of the castaway are just as much to blame as well.........Skipper is the main one he is to impatient and does not like to wait...he wants to get off the island right that moment............Gilligan told Skipper the Professor had the pigeon on a diet to get healthy.......Skipper's Responce was basically "Who cares what the Professor wants" that shows how impatient he is.
All but 1 of the castaways had to overfeed Walter,the pigeon,so that he'd have the strength to fly off the island with a note,but he had to be put on a diet before he could and that it had to take a little longer than when he was going to fly off originally.
More than any other TV series -- even more than "I Love Lucy" -- "Gilligan's Island' was television's version of vaudeville. Each episode was a separate skit that existed only to give the cast a chance to deliver funny lines and engage in slapstick. All realistic criticisms of the story lines (Where did the characters -- especially Ginger -- get these limitless wardrobes? With two experienced seamen, a brilliant professor, and an island full of wood, why couldn't they build a boat? How could the island be close enough to Hawaii for enough visitors to fill Madison Square Garden to come and go over the years, and yet too far away to be found?) were as beside the point as it would be to sit in realistic judgment on the zaniness on "The Carol Burnett Show". This wouldn't have been tolerable without first-rate performers -- which "Gilligan's Island" fortunately had.
@@jedijones Actually, you touched on what may be the most unbelievable aspect of the whole show. Three single men, two single women, and no sex for three years. (And let's not forget the Howells in their separate beds, which must have been part of a set of three pairs; the Ricardos and the Petries bought the other two.) During this same decade, a movie called "Move Over, Darling", starring Doris Day, James Garner, and Chuck Connors came out, in which Doris and Chuck (the latter with a physique that would have forced Apollo to get out of the Greek-god business) were also stranded on a desert island for five years, with not even a case of advanced handholding to show for it. Seventeenth-century Puritans saw more action (unofficially) than middle-class Americans in the 1960s did (officially).

That is so true Penny. The others really needed the professor.
Yeah, but he always failed to fix a boat.
Especially the episodes of kona voodoo tiki vampire bat's and rabbits foot
I love the way the outfits are so colorful.
This was a cute episode. It's funny how Gilligan has no romantic feelings over two beautiful women on the island but can fall in love with a bird.
With this and the turtle, I am fully convinced that he is either a Furry or a Zoophile
Gilligan naive innocent

Delete your disgusting comment @@patrickperalta59
"What about you, Mr. Howell? Surely you're a member of this take-a-pigeon to lunch bunch!" Love that! LOL
I love that too.
😂😂😂😂
This was a cute episode. The pigeon worked hard to rescue the castaways unlike all the other guests.
The other human guests left the castaways ' high and dry'

I like the outfit Ginger is wearing. It is actually very casual for her. A much more practical outfit for island living.
really those Gowns and ball room dresses are too much....lol
So do I. She looks very nice in this episode clip.
With all that good food surprised Walter would want to leave the island.
Amazing how some of these 1960 shows are still on reruns 50 years later.
What a great series.. they did a wonderful job.
Love the way the Professor is so versatile. Now he plays a veterinarian. LOL
The ending is classic. After being well fed, exercised and taken care of, Walter flies away from the island leaving the happy castaways stranded as usual.
Where Sterling Holloway let out he's free..free...free to the castaways back still stuck on the uncharted island not back to civilization
RIP Jim Backus, Alan Hale, Bob Denver, Natalie Schafer & Russell Johnson.
and Sterling Holloway..special guest star.
And Dawn wells
Of whom I named my cat after.
My favorite Gilligan's island show.
Good ol' Sterling Holloway. He's the only remote guest star.A Burt Lancaster spoof. The Pigeon man of Alcatraz.
Love this show and particularly this episode.
Like that line where skipper tells Gilligan he will get a cage for him to share with Walter the pigeon once they get back to Hawaii.
That pigeon devoured a meal fit for a king - Henry VIII.
Right😊
Funny how the Skipper is looking the wrong way when the pigeon flies away.
A fab episode.
One of my favorite episodes I like birds and pigeons and doves particularly in WW2 pigeons were carrier birds
I think the pigeon would be better off staying on the island with all that TLC.
Is this the one with the spider? Messed me up to death
I wonder who built the tread mill? Not bad.
Wonder how long it takes for a pigeon to fly to Hawaii and back to the island?
If I remember correctly, doesn't Gilligan forget to tie the last note on the pigeons foot?
I think the Pigeon was flying to a guy in Jail that's why they never got rescued in this episode.
The man in jail thought all the notes were fake notes from a women he knows called Old Lady Hawkins.
You're thinking of the duck from Season One.
If all but the Professor didn't overfeed the pigeon,he would've been been able to fly off the island with a note attached in 2 weeks instead of 3.
I remember this episode. That darn pigeon did a lot of flying!
everyone else always blames gilligan for ruining chances to get off the island....yet the rest of the castaway are just as much to blame as well.........Skipper is the main one he is to impatient and does not like to wait...he wants to get off the island right that moment............Gilligan told Skipper the Professor had the pigeon on a diet to get healthy.......Skipper's Responce was basically "Who cares what the Professor wants" that shows how impatient he is.
Got Milk! Where did Ginger and Mary Ann get milk?? Love the show anyways......
It was coconut milk.
Amazing how the Howells and ginger and Mary Ann had so much clothing for a three hour tour. Just a show anyway
Pigeons and duck's parrots on Gilligan's island
All but 1 of the castaways had to overfeed Walter,the pigeon,so that he'd have the strength to fly off the island with a note,but he had to be put on a diet before he could and that it had to take a little longer than when he was going to fly off originally.
They are all so sheepish and a bit embarrassed to confess what they fed the pigeon to the professor, the only adult figure on the island.
Good ole Sterling Holloway as Burt.
Classic actor and voice over artist.
🐦 🦜 ❤️!
Too bad “Birdie” got his release papers.
Good old fashion entertainment.

Ginger liked seamen.

Haha I had a pigeon with the same name..
He looks like he swallowed a basketball ha
Feed that birdie!!
I would love to see the Skipper lock Gilligan in a cage with that pigeon and throw away the key.
Why?
Ginger, mmmmmm
