Alright, we gotta know! Mary Ann or Ginger?

[@stillperfectgenerations5852]

Mary Ann was always my favorite. Ginger was beautiful too, but Mary Ann was realistic whereas Ginger would've been too high maintenance...

[@Exrench469]

K, I missed 3, but they were never mentioned in the show, I was amazed at how many questions I knew, even though they were never mentioned in the show, like the Skippers Restaurant., I haven't seen Gilligan's Island since I was a kid, and I rarely watched it in syndication, which means I remember these facts from back when I was 8 yrs old or earlier! Of course I am like most of the other male fans and always will be, in love with Mary Ann! Thanx for the trip down memory lane!

I never knew that Mary Ann was based on Dorothy from "The Wizard Of Oz," but I once heard or read that Gilligan and the Skipper were based on Laurel And Hardy, particularly in a running gag throughout the series where the Skipper would become so angry and frustrated with Gilligan's constant bungling and stupidity, that he'd hit Gilligan on the head with his captain's hat. Similarly, in the Laurel And Hardy films, Oliver Hardy would often wack Stan Laurel on the head with his derby hat whenever one of Stan's blunders would infuriate him. The actor who played the Skipper, Alan Hale, Jr., also occasionally acted in the movies. I remember seeing him in the Western film, "Hang 'Em High" (1968), as one of the men who tries to lynch Clint Eastwood. Hale's father, Alan Hale, Sr., was a movie actor too, not a star, but mainly a supporting or character actor. Among other things, he played Little John in three films about Robin Hood; the silent film "Robin Hood" (1922), with Douglas Fairbanks (who, like Hale, also had a son, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, who also became an actor), "The Adventures Of Robin Hood" (1938), with Errol Flynn, and "Rogues Of Sherwood Forest" (1950), with John Derek (Bo Derek's husband).

Mary Ann! She had it all

[@katiegibbs4097]

It would be great if the video stopped skipping 🙄

[@yabbadabba1975]

Bad edits from the original uploads.

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

I concur with you. I kept thinking "what's going on with this video, the way it jumps from one thing to another, the way certain trivia facts are left out, the way the narration seems distorted, etc." I mean, what's up with that?

[@charlesdavis6371]

I'd love to see this in its entirety. Not sure why there were so many cuts in it, but hopefully there's a "full" version out there somewhere.

[@XtoriezNovel]

The damage to the S. S. Minnow was more than just a two-foot hole in the boat. Gilligan turned the whole boat into dust. In an early episode Mary Ann was making pancakes and Gilligan found tree sap for syrup that tasted sweet, but it turned out to make a better glue. So, the Skipper and the Professor coated the boat with it, but when it dried boards sprang off and crumbled. Gilligan only managed to save the steering wheel.

[@FactsVerse]

Thanks for the info! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

[@mbaratucci13]

I felt I could relate to Mary Ann because she was more like myself.

[@maestromike91971]

But if Ginger was stranded on a deserted island for years, not knowing if you will ever get rescued. She and Marry Ann would find Gilligan and the professor would start looking pretty good. 😝.

Many years ago back in 1979 I interviewed at the Opryland hotel in Nashville as part of my interview process they sent me on a tour of the town in one of those vans that goes around and shows you the heart with stars homes. We were driving around and I knew very little about country music all of a sudden they said and that’s where Don Wells lives I said wow Don Wells and everybody on the van looked at me and said who is that I said wow

Her first name was Dawn, not Don.

To my understanding Tina Louise claimed that Gilligan's Island ruined her career no-one forced her to do it, she was good in the Stepford Wives.

I think the picking of Dawn Wells and the other character's such as Ginger , Gilligan the Howell's etc worked , the other choices such as Jerry Van Dyke would not have worked, The line up of actors was perfect for the show.

[@cheriefarmborough8814]

Love this show.

IMO I believe she looks older trying to keep the Ginger appearance long after she become too mature to be doing it. Im a woman & know getting older is NOT easy, but you accomplish the complete opposite with trying to reflect the frozen in time age of 20 when in reality your 75. NO hate intended, just my opinion is all.💜
