Members DAMfan Posted August 8, 2014 Members Share Posted August 8, 2014 Love classic TV on MeTV my guilty pleasure is Gilligan's Island had a crush on the Professor when I was young like other viewers I wondered if he was so smart & invent so many things why couldn't he fix the boat to get off the island - this Sep is GI 50th anniversary & only cast members still alive are Tina Louise (Ginger) & Dawn Wells (Mary Ann).

Members quartermainefan Posted September 3, 2014 Members Share Posted September 3, 2014 I was never a huge fan of this show, but I did like Thurston and Lovey. I thought they were the best things about the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAMfan Posted September 14, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2014 “Gilligan's Island" was renewed for a fourth season, and "Gunsmoke" was cancelled because of its declining ratings, a high level CBS executive’s wife got upset that "Gunsmoke" was being cancelled. There wasn't enough room on the '67-'68 CBS schedule to re-add "Gunsmoke" so Gilligan's Island" was the show that got trimmed from the '67-68 CBS fall schedule. That explains why there wasn't any sort of "closure" episode for "Gilligan's Island" in the '66-'67 season finale, because it was a spur-of-the-moment cancellation after show producers were told before season end that the show was being renewed. In 1978 on NBC after 15 years on the island finally the castaways got off the island in the TV movie “Rescue from Gilligan's Island.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DAMfan Posted October 13, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 Gilligan's Island boat Minnow was named after Federal Communications Commission president Newton Minow whom GI creator Schwartz loathed. Minow is most famous for giving a speech in which he called television programming “a vast wasteland.” Minnow advocated for educational programming.
