"Gilligan's Island"--Ginger's Nudity Was Never NOTICED By Censors! Here's What Happened!

[@RosaKay55]

The censors may have passed on this as Ginger was covered by the blanket and nothing inappropriate was actually showing.

[@spankynater4242]

That's the point, that they missed the fact that nudity was implied. Like he said, men and women couldn't be in the same bed because of what it implied, women wore men's pajamas because of what women's nightware implied, and although he didn't say, on ILL, they never said the word "pregnant" because of what it implied.

[@JeffRL1956]

You're 100% correct, of course, but there's no video to be made or profit from ads to be earned by not making a video that actually reveals someone's own inner foibles. More was covered by that blanket than by some of the gowns she wore, so not even mid-60s censors would have had a problem with it.

[@saintsone7877]

The blanket allowed less to be shown than would be seen had she wore a swimsuit(even a one piece). She also had a bra on(as well as panties) so there was no nudity but merely a suggestion which at the time was not policed as it had been in the past. Lots of shows were made at that time where more or less as much was shown as was shown in the photos.

The idea that Ginger slept in the nude may have been a subtle connection of her character to be a Marilyn Monroe "type" of character. Monroe died August 4th 1962 and the papers reported that she was found nude in her bed.

[@wiseguymaybe]

I don't think you get it. Even a hint of sleeping in the nude especially for a woman, would have been sensored in that time. If the sensors had caught it, Ginger would have been wearing something else. That's how crazy the sensors were, this is a time belly buttons couldn't be shown on tv. In their eyes, there was something to catch. Rick's not nuts, the sensors were.

[@dustysmoke4996]

Yup. The sheer lunacy of censors potentially having an infarction because Ginger in just a towel inferred she 'slept in the nude', is mind-blowing. smh

[@Voodoomaria]

As the video maker said, the censors did NOT allow married couples to share a bed because it IMPLIED sex. Inferences, Not fact was what they were weeding out. Ginger, bare shouldered and wrapped in a blanket IMPLIED Ginger was sleeping in the nude [something for Ginger that would NOT be outside of her character]. The fact that the appearance of Ginger in this fashion SUGGESTED that she MIGHT be nude was enough to trigger the censors, Just as a shared bed SUGGESTED that a married couple MIGHT at one point have sex, was enough for the censors to ban shared beds. These things are NOTHING to audiences today, Just look at "Game of BOOBS" to see how far things have come, but in the 60's Wilma Flintstone and Lucy Ricardo may have BEEN pregnant, but they couldn't SAY "Pregnant" on the air, and they most certainly couldn't share a bed suggesting HOW they got P[CENSORED]t.

I always assumed that the reason Ginger slept like that is because she only had the one dress when they got stranded. She wouldn't have had anything else to wear and she would have been uncomfortable sleeping in the dress. This would also explain Mary Anne wearing the professor's shirt. later on we see that they have made new clothes. We know the howells had a trunk of clothing but Ginger later made a dress out of Gilligans dufflebag.

[@stickman1742]

You've put a lot of thought into this, not sure the writers did.

[@armholdmusclehugger]

I got that impression many years ago. What's amazing is how they weren't all sleeping in the nude at some point. What with no AC or fans, in a tropical environment with high heat and humidity, and all that sweating, with no stores to buy new clothes, or needle and thread. Clothes don't last 15 years under such conditions. I know the Howells had a trunk full of clothes, but surely it wasn't an unlimited supply. I noticed when they were rescued 15 years later they were wearing the same clothes they started out with. They looked as if they were brand new. I guess it's one of the things the professor could accomplish with his knowledge, never mind he couldn't patch a hole on a boat.

Plus how much control would she have with her wardrobe? Costuming would have told her to where a blanket in this scene. She probably wore it the sexyest way she could. Making the viewers believe she sleeps in the nude.

There are a bunch of Gilligan episodes that show Tina in a towel/blanket that implies she had nothing underneath. The episode where Gilligan was turned into a radio comes to mind.

I think the censors had a problem with the suggestion of intercourse. Wrapping yourself in a blanket doesn't have the connotation of sex when your roommate is another girl. Another episode I recall-I can't remember the number-was in color; it dealt with headhunters on the island, and Gilligan was searching to warn the "girls." A quick cut shows Ginger and Mary Anne in a mud bog. Ginger mentions to Mary Anne how much this treatment would cost in Hollywood. Gilligan just sees the girl's heads on top of the mud. He immediately turns, so he is facing the camera with his eyes closed tight. He exclaims, "Oh no, the head hunters got the girls." The girls in unison say, "High Gilligan." Gilligan exclaims "HUH!" and immediately turns around. Gilligan warns the girls about the headhunters. The girls immediately requested that Gilligan extract them from the bog. The first one Gilligan extracts is Mary Anne. As he pulls her from the mud, she clamps her right arm over her boobs. In the scene, the jump cuts to another location. Why would she do that if she had some coverage?

There was a time that Hollywood sitcoms would not show a woman nude in just a towel so Gilligan's Island was still pushing the limits of the time. I think the censors allowed it because they knew the show was supposed to be pushing the limits.

It’s always interesting learn about something that wasn’t really noticed before from a show like Gilligan’s Island. Keep up the great work Rick and Happy New Year, take care!

[@mcross320]

The most insane idea that people brought all those clothes on a 3 hour trip? No way!

[@47tooter]

The girls change 3 times an episode.

[@muttsez]

ummm, when i leave for a 3hr trip, i bring enuff clothes to last a month in case i get stranded.....

[@toddmccreary4579]

Now that wouldn't be a big deal but they got away with it. Anybody who would just watch reruns who weren't around when it was on might have seen it but not thought much of it because it's much freer now.

HEY RICK, I just found the coolest Gilligans Island thing that nobody has ever mentioned. I’m watching the episode Gilligan’s personal magnetism where he gets hit by lightning and the bowling ball sticks to his hand. At approximately 4:22 knowing that Gilligan is embarrassed to have this bowling ball, stuck to his hands, the professor and skipper tell Marianne and Ginger to act nonchalantly when they see Gilligan. The two girls begin whistling, and if you listen very closely, you can hear their whistling, the Gilligans Island, theme song. I’ve been watching Gilligans Island since 1963 and I’ve never seen that before.

[@raystevens1458]

Back in that era, most folks didn't think that way with this program, life was a more whole some family oriented time.

[@nickimontie]

BTW, I've been regaling people with some of the tidbits you gave us about Sanford and Son. They liked them so much, i sent them to your channel! I hope you make it to 200K soon!

[@ricknineg]

No way! I’m so glad you’ve been spreading the word about me. That means so much! I really appreciate it, thank you!

[@johntuttle2825]

No I've not fully noticed before. Maybe the directors and producers decided to do a surprise factor. So to get a funny reaction too. If they were all prepared for what Gilligan will do. It loses something. Catching the stars unaware is funny and risky. I agree. But just an idea. Good video, Rick. She is tall and more beautiful and sexy is why Ginger stands out more than others too. Just an observation. Thanks.

[@Hevynly1]

Ozzie and Harriet actually shared the same bed before The Munsters. That show tends to be a bit forgotten in classic TV memories.

[@bridgetdavis9752]

I always love seeing your videos, thank you ❤️ Thinking it was Ginger's Island, she might have demanded it. (I've heard she was very difficult to work with.)

[@randyowens7]

I had the pleasure, some years ago, of spending some time with Dawn, and she confirmed to me that, yes, she was very difficult to work with.

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

​@@randyowens7Dawn Wells also said that there wasn't any animosity between her and Tina Louise.

[@MikesFoggyIdea]

It's funny how the implied nudity has her more covered than a lot of the dresses she wore through out the shows years.

[@danieltaylor4819]

There was nothing to censor. What a waste of time.

The 3 Stooges were all 3 sleeping in the same bed . REMEMBER THAT ? Then Moe woke up Curley and Moe said " Wake up and go to sleep."

i love how for a 3-hour tour they had so many clothes to choose from and amazing howes. taking so much cash with them and i think MaryAnn she did it the best few things that's it ginger forget about its a crazy show many chances blown on getting off finally the last chance no new season.

Gingar's nudity was never shown as your title implies.

At the time I was about 5 years old, so I really didn’t think about it. 😂

I figure nobody freaked about Mr. and Mrs. Munster sharing a bed because they were supposed to be already dead.

[@JRZEKE99]

Good stuff Rick but I have to admit I was kinda expecting more of Ginger! 😍

[@panelvixen]

Is it me or is Mary-Ann wearing one of the Professor's shirts?

Dawn Wells was the pretty one!

i go for mrs howell !

[@johnroy9654]

Obviously, Rick Nineg has never been married. Although couples do sleep in the same bed BEFORE marriage, that ends after they get married unless they get divorced. The reality is that it is not possible to stay married AND sleep in the same bed.

[@cadeevans4623]

I never noticed this either Rick things I miss watching this show you have a great eye noticing things Rick

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@cade evans Ginger did in later episodes from season 1 did wear long sleeve shirts much like Mary Ann did but only in season 1. Notice Gilligan is his under shirt in season one only. By seasons two and three Gilligan would always go to bed with his red shirt which he always wore. 🏝🥥🛥👕

[@wheelernathan34]

Happy New Year to you Rick and all subscribers!! I was wondering when you would finally get to this episode! Yes, I noticed that the impression was about nudity since watching this as a kid and I'm now 58. Also when this premiered it was the height of the James Bond mania and if you watched (which most of us had) any James Bond movies it had implications of nudity and sex with 007. So this had to be very risque at the time!! The movie rating codes didn't come out until 1968 and that was because more movies were showing more nudity and sexual implications! Television of the 1960's was totally different than the 1950's. It was changing slowing! If Gilligan's Island had been produced in the 1950's they would have caught it instantly!! Also look at the movie "Pillow Talk" with Doris Day and Rock Hudson!! There was sexual innuendos all through that movie!! That movie would never been produced just a few years earlier or in the 1940's or before!! If you go back to Clara Bow (the silent movie star) and Mae West films, Gilligan's Island is tamed!! They would laugh at this!! So television wasn't far away or spared!

[@R8DRBeagle]

I noticed this when i was younger. I liked Ginger over Mary Ann. I liked Ginger's outfit with the S.S. Minow logo. That was creative.

[@Invalid-user13k]

Some things do get past the censors

[@antonnym214]

One thing I noticed about a Star Trek episode from the third Season. The episode is one of the best, and it is 3x23, All Our Yesterdays. It aired March 19, 1969. In the episode, Spock and McCoy travel back in time 5,000 years to an ice age where they encounter a very lovely woman, Zarabeth. She is trapped alone in that ice age with no hope of returning to her native time and place. There are a few scenes showing embrace that indicate an attraction between Spock and Zarabeth. Then, Spock and McCoy manage to return to their present day. McCoy asked, what of Zarabeth? And Spock replies, "Yes, it did happen; but that was 5,000 years ago and she is dead now. Dead and buried." The argument could be made that in order for Zarabeth to have been buried, she must have had a child to perform the burial. Spock's child.

Gilligan was powerless against… 1) Mary Ann Coconut Cream pie 2) Ginger barely whispering his name Both have their own brand of hotness
