Gilligan's Island

Gilligan's Island

Gilligan's Island is an American sitcom created and produced by Sherwood Schwartz. The show had an ensemble cast that featured Bob Denver, Alan Hale Jr., Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer, Russell Johnson, Tina Louise, and Dawn Wells. It aired for three seasons on the CBS network from September 26, 1964, to April 17, 1967. The series followed the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive the island on which they had been shipwrecked. Most episodes revolve around the dissimilar castaways' conflicts and their unsuccessful attempts, for whose failure Gilligan was frequently responsible, to escape their plight. Gilligan's Island ran for a total of 98 episodes. The first season, consisting of 36 episodes, was filmed in black and white. These episodes were later colorized for syndication. The show's second and third seasons (62 episodes) and the three television movie sequels (aired between 1978 and 1982) were filmed in color. The show received solid ratings during its original run, then grew in popularity during decades of syndication, especially in the 1970s and 1980s when many markets ran the show in the late afternoon. Today, the title character of Gilligan is widely recognized as an American cultural icon.

Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby:
[All the castaways are present, seated or standing around the communal table with the radio on it. They are all ad-libbing as the Skipper hears the radio] Wait a minute! Quiet! The announcement, quiet! Quiet!

Thurston Howell III:
[Radio Announcer] And now they are activating the robot's receptor spools to see if they can find out how it got to Hawaii. The next voice you hear will be that of the robot.

Mrs. Lovey Howell:
[mechanically] I have been on a deserted island. The putt breaks to the right.

Ginger Grant:
Well, it was a lucky shot!

Mrs. Lovey Howell:
[mechanically] Sweep back and forth, back and forth. I was stranded. This is the way we wash our clothes.

Thurston Howell III:
[Radio Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, the scientists from the laboratory are checking to see exactly what went wrong. Perhaps now we can learn the reason the recorded messages are all scrambled... A WHAT?... Ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not, a RABBIT'S FOOT was just found in the robot!

[Everyone is now looking directly at Gilligan who is shying away from their stares]

Thurston Howell III:
It demagnetized the entire receptor spools. There is now no chance of finding out where the robot has been, who reprogrammed it, or how it got to Hawaii. For that matter, how the rabbit's foot got in there in the first place!

[Everyone is now extremely upset with Gilligan and gives him even more intense dirty looks]

Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby, Thurston Howell III, Mrs. Lovey Howell, Ginger Grant, Professor Roy Hinkley, Mary Ann Summers:
GILLIGAN... !

Gilligan:
I just thought it'd bring us some luck, ya know? [Others are about to grab Gilligan for a good pounding when the scene fades out]
