  • j + 19 Jex Ter 2015-04-12 21:06:24 Although it seemed to be an innocent mistake, the Skipper was a scurvy rogue who knew there was going to be a bad squall. His diabolical plan was to "shipwreck" the Minnow (nudge nudge, wink wink), ransom Thurston Howle III for all his loot, and being a completely unscrupulous cad, have his way with Lovely and Ginger as well! (A.K.A.: bonus booty). The Skipper's evil plot was foiled because he had underestimated his 1st mate. Gilligan was actually a brilliant detective who had been investigating nefarious goings-on at The Tropic Port, and had traced them to the Skipper and his gang of scoundrels. His bumbling goofy demeanor (a la Colombo) and seemingly silly high-jinks enabled him to thwart the Skipper at every turn, while at the same time keeping the other castaways from becoming alarmed. The Professor got hip to what was going down pretty quick, and assisted Gilligan in any way he could. Although most of the engineering ideas came from the Professor (coconut telephones, etc.), he actually had to consult Gilligan for a lot of his more hard-core science diversions, since Gilligan had PhDs in both nuclear physics and organic chemistry. Most of the sexual tension in the show arose from the 3-way love triangle between Gilligan, the Professor, and May Ann, who was a vacationing pole dancer from Iowa. Add your reply
  • U + 10 Unregistered 2012-06-14 13:11:45 Five tourists from different walks of life decided to sail the high seas for adventure, photography, umbrella drinks, suntan, salty air, dolphin sightings and the wind in their face. Well, they got all that and more. They were all enjoying the cruise and when winds driffed in creating high swells of water, the party was over. At once they sheltered themselves with what little they could find, said their prayers and kissed their butts goodbye. On the other hand, the skipper being the salty dog that he was, somehow kept his vessle afloat till it crashed on a rather large bogg. You know the rest of the story. Or, you could simply sum it all up and say "never head out without asking the captain what the weather radar said" Rob s. Add your reply
  • U + 8 Unregistered 2015-08-13 18:11:32 The fact that they could make, from scratch on the island, all the amenities of life that they could think of but, still couldn't fix a 2 1/2 foot hole in the boat will be grist for the conspiracy-mill for decades to come. I propose a congressional committee be formed to investigate. Add your reply
  • g + 7 glenndgreenwood 2018-01-21 17:00:59 Have a seat and listen to this story. It's a story about an unfortunate sailing excursion that was supposed to last just a few hours. It all started on a small sailing vessel (S. S. Minnow) at a port in Hawaii. The first mate (whose name was Gilligan [it's unknown if it was his first or last name]) was an experienced, but somewhat klutzy man. The Captain (Jonas Grumby A. K. A "Skipper') was a large, courageous man. The marine experience between the two sailors would turn out to be invaluable to the survival of the story to come. On this particular day, the Captain and his First Mate were taking five passengers on a sight-seeing tour. Among the passengers were a wealthy couple (Thurston Howell iii) and his wife (Eunice "Lovee" Wentworth Howell), a beautiful movie star (Ginger Grant), a professor (Roy Hinckley), and a beautiful, yet modest, farm girl from Winfield, Kansas (Mary Ann Summers). A couple hours into the cruise, a storm set in, setting the sailing vessel off course. The small vessel was tossed about in the tumultuous storm. The winds were blowing hard. Lighting pierced the sky and the thunder boomed loudly. The rain was relentless. Their little sight-seeing tour suddenly took a turn for the worst. The Captain and his First Mate fought hard to keep the vessel afloat. They had to assure the safety of their passengers at any cost. The storm lasted though out the night, leaving the crew and her passengers exhausted. By storms end, the vessel was beached on an uncharted, desolate island. It was fortunate that the vessel had been beached because there was a gaping hole in the starboard hull). Had the Captain and his First Mate been any less experienced, everybody would certainly have perished. The castaways befriended one another and soon became their own little community. They utilized most everything they could get their hands on. They had no electricity, no method of transportation, not a single luxury. Like the life of Robinson Crusoe, survival was a constant uphill battle. They endured many hardships, but remained optimistic through out their many experiences. Join us here each week for another chapter in the life and times of the marooned castaways on "Gilligan's Island". Add your reply
  • U + 4 Unregistered 2017-02-15 05:30:15 The Professor on Gilligan's Island inspired many future scientist and or science teachers. Bill Russell wrote a memoir where he told of people with advanced Science degrees thanking him for being their inspiration to pursue a career in Science.

  • U + 2 Unregistered 2017-02-15 05:26:11 The Professor on Gilligan's Island inspired a love of science in me. He was by far my favorite tv character when I was a young boy. I went on to become a science teacher, do postgraduate work on Hawaiian volcanoes and earn a Masters degree in Geoscience. The actor who played the professor, Russell Johnson, wrote a great memoir and told of other fans with advanced science degrees who were also inspired by the Professor! Add your reply

How Gilligan Could Get Stranded on an Island With Only a 3 Hour Tour

How Gilligan Could Get Stranded on an Island With Only a 3 Hour Tour

Reality tends to stick its big nose in and kick the hell out of our favorite fantasies sometimes, doesn’t it? Gilligan’s Island was a great show in its time, but the whole idea of it is kind of kooky since the premise that the three-hour tour…. the three hour tour , would mean that the SS Minnow would be outbound for an hour and a half and then inbound for the same time. Plus, unless the storm came out of nowhere, which can happen on the open sea, but is still noticeable when one is only a relatively short distance from shore, there is a possibility that the boat could be knocked off course. But then we get to the idea of the Minnow being in uncharted waters, which is hard to believe back in the 1960s, since sailors had been crisscrossing the globe for centuries at that point. Being blown off course wouldn’t be too hard on the open ocean, but given the size of the Minnow and how fast it might be able to go, an hour and a half wouldn’t put it that far from any known islands and wouldn’t constitute a seriously big search area when thinking about how much water a search party can cover. For the sake of the story though it does make sense to have them crash on an uncharted island that would somehow be beyond the reach of any search party, though it would be as likely as actually falling off the edge of the earth as happened in the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It is an interesting thought to contemplate however, that Gilligan and crew found a version of Davy Jones’ locker long before Disney ever came up with the idea.

Then there’s the cast to consider. The two millionaires make sense, but what about the professor, Mary Anne, and Ginger? What in the world were they doing on that cruise? What was Mr. Howell doing with all that cash on him anyway? There are so many questions pertaining to the characters and the story when it comes to this show that trying to sort them all out might be possible, but it’s a giant headache at times too. Why the Minnow was allowed to drift though is pretty straightforward. Gilligan, being Gilligan, tossed the anchor overboard to try and keep the craft in place, but either the Skipper didn’t check to make sure it was attached to the chain or Gilligan didn’t bother to look, because they lost the anchor and that was that, the boat was set to drift, apparently for three days it sounds like, before the craft crashed upon the island, with huge holes in the sides that made it look as though it hit a few submerged rocks on the way in. A truly skilled individual, or at least one that knew how to patch a hole here and there, could have fixed the boat and set it afloat again, but obviously that wasn’t in the cards as the castaways spent a good amount of time on the island, creating a show that a few of those involved didn’t even believe in that people came to care a great deal about.

Just looking at the dynamics of it, this journey should have been fairly simple, and the weather shouldn’t have been much of a factor for a skilled seaman like the Skipper since considering how much wide open ocean exists around Hawaii, spotting weather patterns isn’t too hard for those who know what to look for. The idea for this show was to basically make it appear as simple as possible and that was easily attained since the whole idea is one that likely made a lot of skilled and seasoned sailors wince considering the craft that was used and the fact that Skipper was someone that should have known what he was doing. Plus, having a professor on board, someone with skills leaning towards a variety of things that were found to be useful, should have been enough of a winning combination to get the group off the island in short order. The professor made things out of coconuts for crying out loud, it’s hard to think that he couldn’t come up with some sort of compound that could have been used to repair the Minnow while Gilligan and Skipper could have been chopping down trees to try and patch the holes as best they could, or find something else to use that might have worked.

That’s the point with shows like this however, it’s usually a chance to do the most outlandish things possible without really getting into the practical side of things. Once everything starts making sense the show is pretty much over, and reality gets to take the place of the fantasy.
