Great point there @simster.

A few days ago I made this post in another thread. The embedded link in my post points to a Gilligan’s island outtake on YouTube. The preview still shows the Howells sitting at a table; that image is all that matters for this thread:

When I hunted up the vid the first thing that struck me (and struck _hard_) was how _young_ both Howells looked. Significantly younger than I remember them being when I was a kid. The show was only filmed for 2-1/2 years, so the actor’s ages and appearances won’t have changed much between episode 1 and episode last.

IOW, they looked like that pretty much every episode. Who knew!!???/???1!!
