The TMZ, in fact.
And that just shows that Lost was trying to be GI but done “serious” and “Dark”.
Was there ever an episode where Gilligan found a hatch?
And out of this world.
With Good Guys…
Bad Guys…
Brit spies…
and robot guys
I suppose it doesn’t count as series canon, but in Rescue from Gilligan’s Island, the castaways are returned to Hawaii after being discovered.
No reason why it shouldn’t; it was written by Sherwood Schwartz.
In the revised pilot there’s one scene where you can see the secretaries asleep on the deck.
Lastly, there actually are less episodes than one would think where it was Gilligan’s fault they don’t get rescued.
It’s usually because their frequent asshole visitors fail to mention their existence.
Tina Louise was in the first or second season of Dallas (before J.R. got shot)
I think she was J.R. secretary/mistress
The best chance was Erika Tiffany Smith, but of course the castaways don’t bother to send anyone with her.
Then there’s the two entire airplanes and a machine shed that they somehow couldn’t find for the first 15 years on the island.
From the Wiki article on Palmyra Atoll: “Both of these runways are now overgrown with plants and returning to jungle.”
Never mind how this supposedly “uncharted” island had airplanes on it in the first place.
I think the best way to watch Gilligan’s Island is as if it were Groundhog Day. The boat gets lost in the storm, lands on an island somewhere, and the castaways live the next day over and over again. Sure, different things happen each time, but they never change, because they’re always still spending their first day marooned on the island.
Eh, in any given episode, they already have a lot of creature comforts built back up (the huts, if nothing else, would take a lot more than a day to build).
There sure was lots of booze on that island.
This is true. Once one gets past the first couple of episodes, and the castaways are settled in, then it does seem to become more Groundhog Day-ish.
There was certainly very little, if anything in the way of serial storytelling; every episode from that point forward took the same premise, and the same starting state of the characters, then told a self-contained story, which ultimately ended with another failed attempt to leave the island.
Maybe one of the only exceptions to this is that the villainous Dr. Boris Balinkoff (Vito Scotti) appears in two separate episodes, though I can’t remember if there were any references to his first appearance in the second one.
I think the “Wrong way” pilot might have shown up twice, too. Still, only trace amounts of continuity, which was the norm for TV back then.
I loved that guy.
To save time and money they used as much footage from the first pilot as they could. Only scenes with the new cast members were filmed the second time around.
You can see the two girls sleeping, but you can’t tell who they are.
I would say a significant number of episodes didn’t involve an attempt to get off the island.
