Let's be an episode of Gilligan's Island!

I'm "Pulu Si Bagumba"!

The episodes where they just say "and the rest" instead of the professor and Mary Ann deeply wounded me as a child.

Showed me how cruel life is.

I'm Eva Grubb.

I'm the unending supply of batteries for the transistor radio. I'm also the island that is so far away from civilization that a dinky transistor radio clearly picks up multiple channels.

I’m the Howell’s endless wardrobe, packed for a three-hour tour.

I'm the Professor's blue oxford shirt (clinging to a remarkably toned chest).

I am the forthcoming smash-hit production of Hamlet The Musical, presented by Harold Hecubah.

Did they ever say what he was a professor of and did he have a name?

(he was my first crush.)

Roy Hinkler, R8 (mentioned in a very early episode)

I am The Honeybees.

R9, it was actually Roy Hinkley, not Hinkler.

What was the three hour tour of?

I’m the coconut cream pie made by Maryanne.

I'm a feather boa used by both Ginger and Mary Ann in "The Second Ginger Grant" episode.

I'm the oddity of a millionaire, his wife and a movie star deciding to go on a cruise with a bunch of poor nobodies on a tiny ship. Shouldn't they be able to afford to charter a yacht on their own?

I'm the paycheck that I wouldn't invest in my future so the cast would all end up destitute at the end of their lives!

I’m Mary Ann in “The Second Ginger Grant”. I look spookily like Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

I'm the Minnow setting sail from the harbor while ignoring the background ships flying their US flags at half mast because JFK had just been shot

TINA, bring me the axe!

I’m Ginger’s minge.

I'm the many excellent dream sequence episodes.

I'm the sultry music that comes on when Ginger acts slutty in her worst Marilyn voice.

I'm Rockery Hudpeck!

I'm Thurston Howell IV trying to have my parents declared dead.

I'm Tina Louise in r22's shower scene losing the final trace of goodwill from the stagehands. She had passed the word around she would actually be nude behind the shower curtain so they filled the rafter to watch, then she took her robe off and showed them she was still covered. She really put one over on them.

I'm Harold Hecuba.

I'm the makeup girl who gets to oil up Denny Miller's muscles when he guest stars as the washed ashore surfer.

Suck it, bitches!

I'm the behind the scenes orgies that only Bob Denver remembered, though Corey Feldman will carry on the legacy, claiming he was there and promise to release all the details next year.

I’m the plastic palm frond.

I’m Jayne Mansfield and I’m gonna pass.

I'm Jungle Boy, played by Kurt Russell.

I'm Gilligan's dangerously low IQ.

R30 She really fucked that one up…as so many did when offered television.

I'm the 42 year old mom making her 7 year old kid watch this, thinking he'll be just as enchanted I was by the reruns. Holy shit! The evil natives shouting Unga Bunga? Nope

[quote] The evil natives shouting Unga Bunga? Nope

Don't blame your mom just because you had no foreign language skills

I'm the professor when he chucks off all of his clothes because it's more sanitary. Plus he wants the audience to see his chest, his heavy cock and balls and his massive bush.

I'm the clam shell full of crushed up berries that Ginger uses as a compact.

I'm the ghost that is clearly a person under a sheet haunting the island.

I am the oozing glob of glue that The Skipper uses to sabotage Maryann’s soft shoe routine. Mary Ann’s door gets stuck during her pert and perky soft shoe routine.

I'm the electric guitars played by The Mosquitoes on an island without electricity.

I'm the shock of a random episode in Black & White.

I'm the bad check Tina writes at the grocery store

I'm the toddler, Miss Lindzey, seeing the show on a black & white TV in my folks bar.

I'm the lightning that struck Gilligan and made him invisible. You dare question my logic!?

Side note, I wonder what Gilligan's Island would be like with Jayne Mansfield as Ginger and Raquel Welch as Maryann?

[quote]The evil natives shouting Unga Bunga? Nope.

One of those natives was played by Henny Backus, Jim's wife.

[quote] I wonder what Gilligan's Island would be like with Jayne Mansfield as Ginger and Raquel Welch as Maryann?

Boobies. Boobies. Booblies.

Im the record player presumably fashioned by the professor to play the records presumably brought by one of the characters without an actual record player to play them on.

Well, if this is any indication ...

I'm the ability to read others' minds and think mean things at them (my favorite episode).

I’m Mary Ann’s cookbook with 10 different coconut cream pie recipes.

I’m GILLIGAN’S WAKE, the 2003 esoteric novel that devotes a chapter to each character’s backstory. The Professor worked for Roy Cohn in DC, Lovey went lezzie with Daisy Buchanan in the Roaring Twenties, the young Ginger modeled in porn with Bettie Page, etc.

I'm Thurston Howell loading years worth of clothing aboard a three hour cruise because he was on the run after masterminding and financing the Kennedy assassination. Had the storm not intervened he and Lovey would have massacred the others and sailed off to a remote deserted island where they would anchor and wait until the heat was off.

I’m the dried moss panty liners the gals used for five days each month.

I'm the gorillas who chased Gilligan. I'm obviously people dressed up in gorilla suits.

I'm the shifting size of the island which housed anything from caves, monsters, gorillas and little people.

I'm Lord Beasley hunting the Pussycat Swallowtail butterfly!

I'm the poem that Erica Tiffany Smith's loveliness inspires the Skipper to compose:

The boy stood on the burning deck,

His feet were filled with blisters!

I'm Lovey's actual name: Eunice Wentworth Howell.

The Professor has rigged-up a radio transmitter with just some coconuts and Mrs. Howell's jewelry.

Meanwhile, the Skipper and Gilligan are on the outs because G won't do anal.

I am BEETS,! I am Luvy’s favorite vegetable!! ….. Now what corner of my brain has that piece of information been residing for the last 50 years?

I'm Ginger, dressing as if I'm going to a movie premiere in a long evening gown, to go on a three hour boat tour.

[quote]I'm the oddity of a millionaire, his wife and a movie star deciding to go on a cruise with a bunch of poor nobodies on a tiny ship. Shouldn't they be able to afford to charter a yacht on their own?

I always thought it odd in a way that Ginger wasn't rich herself given that she was supposed to be this big movie star, but someone said they believe she was only really supposed to be a starlet not that famous in the business and therefore not that wealthy like the Howells.

I'm Skipper's actual name: Jonas Grumby

I'm the hilarious impersonation of Sophia Loren Ginger performs to impress Harold Hecuba that went right over my head as a child, which I now find brilliantly funny.

"Breada! Breada! I give-a you breada You stuffa you fat face with breada!"

I am Mary Ann, and I used to do blackface

I am the subtle communist message that no one will grok until papers analyzing this are written 50 years after the show stops airing.

It's fine if you didn't notice. The broadcasters, sponsors and producers didn't either, or this show would likely never be filmed.

What was that creepy episode with Vito Scotti and the big guy - kidnapping everybody and chaining them up and switching their brains - the big guy and Ginger switched bodies - who else did?

R67, Ginger was switched with the big guy (Igor was his name I believe), The Professor was switched with Mary Ann, Gilligan was switched with Mr. Howell, and Mrs. Howell was switched with the Skipper. Also, in the end, Vito and Igor were switched with a cat and dog, respectively.

I'm the very important book the Professor was in the middle of writing when stranded-

Rust: The Real Red Menace

68 - Thank you! Boy as soon as you mentioned the Dog and Cat that popped right back into my head!!

Pretty sure Ginger was sucking Thurston's dick on the downlow, R62.

"Has anyone seen GILLIGAN??!!"

I’m the voodoo dolls

By the time I saw this show in syndication in the 70s, it played as a program aimed at kids 10 and under. Incredibly simple-minded; can't believe it was once a primetime sitcom.

I'm the disgusted assumption Mr. Howell always makes that Pacific island headhunters are so uncivilized they must be YALE men !

r36 I want to see that!

I'm Gilligan's prolapsed hole that has been bludgeoned nightly by the Skipper's massive cock.

I’m the varied lineup of other castaways who wash up on the island and always manage to get away rather quickly somehow, yet these dimwits, including a supposed brainiac professor, do not.

I'm Bingo, Bango, Bongo and Irving!

They Honeybees weren't so great. Did they ever get a spot on Ed Sullivan like the Petticoat Junction sisters did with a lesbian as Ringo? I think 𝒏𝒐𝒕.

Even Uncle Joe was moving kind of low

I’m the diamonds that cut into the telephone cable to make a long distance call.

I’m the perfectly colored and perfectly shaped bananas, pineapples and coconuts on the island…almost as if they were made out of plastic!

[quote] I'm the shifting size of the island which housed anything from caves, monsters, gorillas and little people.

And a volcano and a castle.

I’m the plug-in kitchen radio most of America had in the 1960s. For some reason, they glued a kitchen drawer-pull atop me and claimed I was battery operated.

The Howell, ginger and MaryAnn brought whole wardrobes with them on the trip, but Gilligan, Skipper and the professor only brought one set of clothes which never fade or get holes in them. In fact Gilligan’s clothes are a lot cleaner than Maynard G Krebs’clothes were

Im the Castaways recycled seaweed toilet paper.

R84 The castle was on another uninhabited island but Gilligan's Island had mountains (Lord Beasley) & a volcano (another episode) but the most identifiable island shots don't have anything high protruding on them.

R62 Ginger had to be rich compared to the other 4 castaways, but the Howells were super-rich in a way she couldn't compete.

They had a house in all 50 states in one episode where they needed a key to unlock something (I doubt a big-time movie star in the 60s could pull that one off).

The explanation for Ginger's evening gown was explained as her leaving a night club where she'd been performing and not changing before the boat ride. A 3 hour tour seems like they'd stick close to the coastline but suspension of belief is required.

Did show watchers back then think the Skipper and Gilligan gay, or were they just best friends and mates that slept together *wink* ?

Yes, and the professor was banging Maryann.

Skipper was a hot bear.

They should’ve used the hammock as a sling.

I'm Dawn Wells in my dressing room with my ear stuck to the wall on the other side of Tina Louise's dressing room, listening to that tramp turn tricks on a daily basis.

This really happened. Dawn actually talked about it.

I doubt Tina is turning tricks now. She's 89 years old and I'm quite sure her old cooter dried up years ago.
