Anyone remember Gilligan’s Iceland? What gives? Imponderables?
I loved it as a child, and yesterday it was in the waiting room of a car dealership. But, “the pilot was a mighty sailing man,” he was? Gilligan? “The skipper brave and sure” believe he was not sure about the weather. . “If not for the courage of the fearless crew the Minnow would be lost.” . they were not lost? Ok. . Why’d Ginger are all those clothes for a 3-hour tour? Why did Mr. Howell has his own yacht? When to wash your Skipper and Gilligan in an outfit? How to shave it? If the professor can make all these things, why he can repair the boat? If there satellites and space capsules, why not the Minnow have a working radio? What type of charter boat Minnow is already named after? What are they burning torches in which they always have? For an “unknown desert island” there are certainly many visitors? If the professor sleeps with Ginger, Maryann, or both? And the most important, WHY NOT GILLIGAN They Kill SUCCESS so they have to leave the island?

Here goes…the mate” Gilligan” WAS a mighty sailing man. An accomplished yachtsman from the Vineyard, he raced in several world class sailing events. Put him on a powerboat though and he was hopeless. The Skipper WAS brave and sure.During the war. Before the accident.At the time of the 3 hour tour he was still brave but somewhat unsure. The term “lost” in this case refers to dying at sea.Which they didn’t do (thanks to the courage of the fearless crew…).Ginger was planning an upcoming photo shoot to promote a movie and wanted to figure out which outfit worked best in the salt air. The Howells owned several yachts as part of his shipping empire but were at the “Tropic port” for a business deal and were just killing time while their lawyers were negotiating. The Skipper and Gilligan actually were in uniform and carried many sets in the bow of the Minnow. They shaved with the razors the Skipper had on the boat( he won a whole crate in a poker game….) The Professor couldn’t fix the Minnow because the engine block cracked and he had no way to weld or forge iron. The Minnows radio was washed overboard by a rogue wave early in the “rough weather”. The Minnow was named after the Skippers PT boat in the war. The torches burn fish oil or refined coconut oil. The visitors reflect the islands placement at a juncture between two un-named ocean currents and the jet stream (a few years after the rescue the currents were named and the island today is home to a Sandals resort and Hedonism 5). There was very little intercourse (none) due to a plant native only to the island which virtually removed the human libido.( it is currently being studied for use as a drug for Catholic priests…)And FINALLY, when they first came ashore, Gilligan found the only source of fresh water and refused to let the others know it’s whereabouts , lest his usefulness expire( crafty little devil, huh?). So come on John! Use your head!

The Professor was actually *sleeping* with Mrs. Howell. Thurston didn’t really mind because he convinced Ginger that he’d produce her life story IF she’d *produce* for him. Maryann was saving herself for me.

You forgot to ask: Why didn’t they have the camera man bring help, when he took the film to the producers every week?

What you say is true but the show wasn’t meant to be factual.
You said it yourself …. you enjoyed it as a kid. It was entertaining and funny …. that’s exactly what it was meant to be.
As with music ….. TV was a little “simpler” then . Just good clean fun ! We could use a little more of that in this day.
Just my opinion : )

You loved it as a kid…… why question it now??? Dont ruin a good thing, it was a great show and as kids, we didn’t worry about all those things that we worry about or ponder as a grown up……….

that is why the show was such a success, because of all these sight gags. They would have needed to be in cruise ship to have carried all the stuff they had. It’s rediculous, but its very funny and it worked.
