This series has been a fun stop along my Gilligan's Island nostalgia tour. Thanks for making these videos. I haven't begun watching the series in order yet, but I saw lots of the reruns as a kid. Personally, I'm enchanted by the old school slip ups that wound up on TV. I think comedy has changed a bit since then, so any Hollywood remake isn't gonna have the same sense of goofiness.

I see others have already beaten me to the punch about AM radio having a lot more music in the '60s than it has today. So I'll point out something about the show's music instead (in keeping with your point on The Girls whistling the show's theme): in the episode "Gilligan vs Gilligan" (season three, episode two), when Gilligan and his Soviet spy double are chasing one another through the jungle, the music playing is a mashup of the series theme with the Russian folk song "Korobeiniki", better known fifty years later as the theme from the game Tetris.

At about 14:00 they hear on the radio the bomb is doing to be dropped at 140° Lattitude, 10° longitude. There IS no 140° lattitude. It starts at 0° at the equator and ends at 90° at either pole. HOWEVER, if you reverse the coordinates, 10°N and 140°W, it's a location in the Pacific 1200 or so miles southeast of Hawaii.
@orlock208 жыл бұрын
That's one fast drift. They left Hawaii going about 8mph to 10 mph and since it was a tour , that means they went 12 to 15 miles one way at most. The Skipper says they drifted for three days or 72 hours. That current would have been about 16 miles per hour. The fastest ocean current is less than 6mph.

Your comment about the antenna on an am radio is correct but as a amateur radio operator, I can tell you by adding a telescoping antenna to the loop antenna in the radio, you increase the gain and are able to receive at a much further distance.

I think the thing about Gilligan throwing the unattached anchor overboard is very important. Had it been properly thrown they might have been able to wait out the storm. Again, this isn't an area of expertise of mine. That is the general argument of how Gilligan got the shipwrecked in the first place, but I don't know if in the storm, the anchor line would simply have snapped or not or if it's safe for a small boat to try and 'anchor down' in a storm.
@roberthaworth90976 жыл бұрын
The average anchor line of 150-200' would have missed hitting the bottom of the Pacific in that region by approximately 2,500'. At best, the anchor could have served as a sea anchor to help keep the Minnow's head into the wind.

I'll have to take a look at that. I would have guessed they would have used an air jet of some kind. It reminds me of a scene from one of the old Mr. Wong detective movies. Mr. Wong (Boris Karloff) is trying to break a glass bubble that he suspects are used to kill by being filled with poison gas, by using different musical instruments to break the glass. Nothing works... but then the parrot squawks and that shatters the glass - but you can see the way it shatters straight to the right of the screen that someone probably shot it with a pellet gun.

That radio never had the kitchen drawer handle on the top either. It was added by the prop department. I also remember on the episode where they are trying to talk to the lady pilot they had a quite large radio transmitter. Of course it was smashed, as was the first transmitter they had. I also find the evolution of their phonograph amusing. The first one with the horn had to be constantly cranked to turn the record, This could have worked. Later the phonograph still with the horn,, was cranked and it played like most crank phonographs. Where did they get the mainspring for that? Later the gave up on the crank phono and they had a portable stereo record changer. Where exactly did they plug it in? Where did the mosquitos plug in their amps? They are after all playing electric guitars. Where did they get the records they played? Most small ships didn't have record players.

There was the episode where Professor has asked Ginger to make fake predictions to give the quarreling castaways some hope of a rescue. He is shaving with a straight razor and comments to Maryann "I see you've been using the razor to cut bamboo again." So we can account for the shaving. But your second observation is legit, and has been made by others. When the girls move to separate quarters and Gilligan does the washing, the professor's shirt is ripped to pieces. And there were times when both Skipper and Mr. Howell had some of their clothes damaged - by Gilligan, of course. (Don't forget all of the damage to clothes from the 2nd episode where Gilligan causes the trap at the mouth of the cave to trip and everyone comes out in tatters!)

Clearly the continuity of this show was not a major concern. I think this was "just a job" to many of the crew members and they simply didn't care about such minutiae. This would explain why there are so many inconsistencies. Also, the shows were written by many different people and I don't think they had any goal beyond selling their story and making a paycheck. It's fun to analyze it now, and call it a mistake, but I don't think anyone involved in the production would have dreamed this show would be analyzed with such attention to detail 50 years later.

David Caldarola -- really enjoyed your videos, as I'm sure every GI fan would. But here's an oddity that was never addressed: Why do all the characters on the show refer to him as "Gilligan" when that wasn't actually his first name? According to what I've read, the character portrayed by Bob Denver was named "Willy Gilligan". If this is true, isn't it rather strange no one even once called him "Willy"? Or even "Mr Gilligan"? Instead, "Gilligan" just casually rolls off their tongues, and the viewers (myself included) are led to believe that must have been his first name. I'm sure everyone calls you Dave or David, and not "Caldarola" ! Did you ever consider this an oddity about the show, or do you (or any commenters) have any insights into why it was done this way?
@davidcaldarola51888 жыл бұрын
No really. There is nothing odd about calling "Skipper" or "Professor" by their occupations. It would sound a bit pretentious to call that goofy sailor Mr. Gilligan. One then can only assume that if Gilligan never complains about being call Gilligan, then its OK with him. I remember a great guy I was in Air Force schooling with. He hated his first named and preferred to be called Jay. But his last name, Jarvis, is often times a first name, so he was often times called Jarvis. Besides, "Willy's Island" wouldn't have had the same appeal. Thanks for watching.

The Latitude / Longitude coordinates quoted @ about 8:12 (and repeated by the Skipper) cannot be correct. They seem to be reversed, and they probably meant 10 degrees Latitude and 140 degrees Longitude. However, that puts the island somewhere between Guam and Palau. Even at 100 miles east of this location, and drifting westerly for three days, this seems way too far from Hawaii, assuming the Minnow left from Hawaii, which also seems to be a point of contention. Other research has suggested the location is approximately 1400 kilometers south-east of Hawaii. Website gilligan.fandom.com/wiki/The Island states they are 110 Longitude by 10 Latitude, as per the episode “Big Man on a Little Stick”. This would put them a couple hundred miles off the coast of Vietnam. Not likely. Maybe they mean Negative 110 Long. and 10 Lat.? But this starts getting close to the Mexican coast, so probably not. In “It's a Bird, It's a Plane”, the location is reported as 250 miles south of Hawaii. The most likely answer is that the producers/writers didn’t really want to state an actual, specific location, and were having fun with us by keeping it intentionally vague.

The North Pole is ninety degrees north latitude; the South Pole is ninety degrees south latitude. Latitude is bounded from zero to ninety. There can be no 'one hundred forty degrees latitude'. Also, latitude must be qualified as north or south; longitude must be qualified as east or west.

ok ya know this show was on like 60 years ago right
@davidcaldarola51885 жыл бұрын
And it's been on reruns ever since. It took me the bulk of those 60 years to notice this stuff. It's all in fun. It just amazed me how many goofs they committed. As a writer, I naturally look for breaks in continuity, or plot gaffs. Dark Shadows certainly has the most production errors like boom mic shadows, cameras switching to the wrong person, blurry scenes or actors tripping on their lines. I recently noticed a story gaffe in my favorite episode of Deep Space 9. Like I said, it's all just for the fun of it. Thanks for watching.

and AM radios don't have external antennas

The antenna (which was a car aerial) as well as the handle on the Gilligan's Island radio was added by the props department. Recently saw a couple of listings for replicas made using the same model.

140 degrees latitude is impossible. Maximum latitude is 90 degrees. 10 degrees longitude would put them in the Atlantic Ocean.

Although I enjoyed your videos, but then again, TV shows are like chewing gum for the mind. They are just to entertain people and make people make laugh. They are not to educate or have logic. The one thing that really freaks me out is when TV shows use beautiful women to play the role of a nun. Since when do beautiful girls become nuns? It does not match the character.
