Gilligan's Island - Goofs, Errors, and Oddities Season 2

Welcome to the most comprehensive collection of goofs, errors, and oddities on the 60s classic TV show Gilligan's Island. Also watch seasons 1 and 3.

[@evanparks8090]

This is great. As a small child Gilligans Island was as show I could watch over and over. I still love it today. E veryone was great playing their parts. AAAA+

[@canttouchthis6439]

I remember as a kid of about 7 in 1974 watching reruns of Gilligan's island at my aunts house for we couldn't get it at home because of signal wasn't strong enough at our home. I love this showvtrem

[@mettall1981]

The professor wasn't under the table but under the stage so of course you're not going to see the the green table clothe nor the people's legs.

[@MrCJ-qz9dl]

You are hilarious noticing these details. I get a kick out of listening to your narration. Thanks again.

[@ComputerLearning0]

This is hilarious stuff! We always argued how everyone's clothes always stayed clean with bright colors for years and YEARS as castaways on a deserted island. Even if you say everyone brought extra sets of clothes with them, why would anybody bring loads of spare clothing for a mere *"Three Hour Tour?"* It's clear there wasn't much thought put into this stuff but just the same I'll always love this show and all the fond memories of a much simpler time in history. Thank you for posting this. This is great :)

Thanks for the remarks. Please fell free to view all of my videos. not just the GI related ones.

I'm former Navy, but I take serious umbrage at your flippant comment towards the United States Coast Guard during WWII. During the war, the Coast Guard manned more than 350 naval ships, including 76 LSTs, 21 cargo and attack cargo vessels, 75 frigates and 31 transports. They also manned more than 800 cutters and nearly 300 ships for the army (not to mention thousands of amphibious assault craft). Their members served honorably and one of them was even posthumously awarded the *Medal of Honor -- Signalman 1st Class Douglas Munro,* who daringly positioned his craft between the Japanese and 500 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines as they were being evacuated from Guadalcanal. As the last man was climbing aboard the LCMs and LCVPs, Munro's own LCVP was struck by the Japanese, killing him. But his distraction had served its purpose and the boats used for the evacuation were now all safely away.

[@armymobilityofficer9099]

Don't forget that the Army had ships and had a whole lot of amphibious landings, therefor the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines are all the same. The Army Air Corp had more planes that the U.S. Air Force had during WWII. (yes I know).

[@thebonesaw..4634]

@@armymobilityofficer9099 -- For the future... if you're going to attempt to troll someone, it helps if you can consistently cite true facts (something in which you personally seem to be lacking), as for the rest of your commentary... this is exactly the type of elementary school bullshit one could expect from the kind of person who regularly enjoys denigrating an entire branch of the United States Military. It's rather obvious that you're attempting to bait me into saying something negative about the Army or the Marines in order to paint me as a hypocrite, due to my previous statements in defense of the U.S. Coast Guard. It's woefully pathetic that you would deign to denigrate a branch of the U.S. military for the sole purpose of accomplishing that goal in order to win _"internet points."_ However, the fact that you have, immediately calls into question your username of _"Army... Officer"._ I say this because, someone who would stoop to the level you just have, most certainly does not comport with the military bearing of a U.S. Army Officer. As it happens (because I'm old), I've had many run-ins with *Stolen Valor* types on comment boards such as these. Not only do I absolutely *NOT* believe you were ever an officer in one of the branches of the United States Military, I have a strong suspicion that you've never served a single day in *ANY* branch of the U.S. military. Either that or you _"couldn't cut it"_ and you were separated (probably even before graduating from boot camp). If perchance you somehow did serve in the U.S. Army (beyond boot camp)... I'm certain that - if the Army read the denigrating comments you've made so far about an entire branch of the United States Military - they'd be extraordinarily ashamed of the fact that you ever did serve with them. The U.S. Army's service members serve with exceptional honor and distinction...... and you, sir... do not appear to live up to that example.

[@karenglenn6707]

We loved this show as kids, but even at our age could never understand that everyone had so many clothes for a 3 hour cruise, especially Ginger. Never noticed the huts being different, we just wanted to live there.

[@Inpri]

There was nothing like Thurston showing Teddy. how to make the perfect martini. And then there's Lovey's comment: "Thurston, have you been making brandy peaches without peaches again?"

[@NumeMoon]

I think I found another oops. In Episode 1 of Season 1, Ginger crawls out of a cave/trap around 23:37, and the Skipper asks if she's hurt. Ginger replies, "no I'm alright, but look at my dress, the only dress I have!" Then she shows a rip down the side of the dress. In later episodes she's shown wearing more dresses. Ooops!

[@howardkerr8174]

The girls somehow managed to piece together perfectly fitting clothes from "recycled" fabric, though I suspect that the thread holding all those new clothes together was hard to come by. What is truly odd is that Gilligan himself only seemed to have 1 shirt and 1 pair of trousers....but in 4 years, on a tropical island no less, NOTHING ever wore out/got tattered.

[@Mouserjan0222]

The Skipper Professor and Gilligan all only had one outfit but everyone else had multiple outfits, And they were Red White and Blue outfits. The entire show is one big blooper but we love it

[@andrewthornhill7042]

@Nume Moon Of course, as written, Ginger originally did only have one gown, with a supplementary dress made from Gilligan's duffel bag. Then as the show's budget grew, and colour made its entrance in time for the second season, she (and Mary Anne and Mrs Howell) were outfitted with more changes of clothing. This is the LOGICAL explanation, but naturally 'Gilligan's Island' is far from logical!

[@improg]

The episode with the Russian cosmonauts drinking the vodka wasn't a goof. It was part of the joke. After finishing the bottle that had the real vodka, the Russian demands that the castaways give them their bottle. They hesitate because they are worried that the Russian is going to drink it and realize the ruse. But instead of realizing it was water, he passed out like he had finally had too much. It was part of the joke.

[@fool4singing]

I always thought The Professor was suppose to be under the stage during séance scene.

[@davidcaldarola5188]

+fool4singing - He was. But there are still the two problems... 1) Why is he announcing Ginger as some kind of mystic when he doesn't believe in it? 2) The table is surrounded with the legs of the people sitting there, but the shot of the professor underneath shows a full half of the table with no one sitting there.

[@fool4singing]

+David Caldarola Hmmm,..I'm still seeing him under the stage that the table is on; not the table itself, and the bamboo pole is going through the stage up under the table to raise and lower it. Anyway, I still love all of the observations,..many I never noticed before.

Bob Denver was a heavy smoker..? lol!! He was busted for possession of pot in West Virginia, but his celebrity status in that state got him by with a warning. He apologized to the state, and commented that he was embarrassed by the whole thing. Finally, one of the hillbillies in WV showed him how to hide his pot, and he wasn't busted again for it. - True story!

[@alexisdiva9]

Another possible goof regarding the "Don't Bug the Mosquitos" episode when the male castaways form their own rock group called The Gnats: The Professor is playing his guitar right handed, just like the Skipper & Mr. Howell are doing. The reason I say that is Russell Johnson in real life was left handed - in many episodes this is reflected by the Professor writing and doing skilled work using his left hand. Of course, he might have been ambidextrous & displayed it just then (if he played left handed the band might have sounded a little less awful than it did on the episode, lol).

[@Blissterd1]

In the WWII mine episode, you didn't account for the fact that silver is non-ferrous, Skipper's necklace would not be attracted since the mount for the tooth is most certainly silver and it's likely the chain is also.

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

Sherwood Schwartz the creator of Gilligan’s Island said that he DIDN’T have a staff of writers..which explains WHY their were contradictory storylines in the show...but Sherwood explained on season two DVD introduction that bringing in freelance writers kept the storylines “fresh” instead of hiring staff writers that would have sameness of the jokes and scenes.

[@davidcaldarola5188]

Thanks for the info. Still, I can't help but wonder why the actors didn't notice something - like Lovey saying after two seasons of French expressions, that she doesn't speak French. One would think she would have said "Wait, a minute! I'm supposed to say I don't speak French? I've been speaking French phrases for two seasons." Oh, well.

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

Actually...in one of the episodes...I forgot which one...the WHOLE cast said what they spoke..Mary Ann said she only spoke English...the Professor said he spoke Latin..Gilligan said he spoke slang.. The Skipper spoke Caribbean from the Islands..and Lovey SAID that SHE SPOKE FRENCH. I think it was when they found the telephone wires and the were trying to reach civilization.

[@davidcaldarola5188]

It wouldn't have cost much to make a correct hut "segue" shot - but the more I think of it, with all of the comments about a limited budget, a lot of the money had to go to pay the cast since most of them were veteran performers who couldn't have been gotten cheap. Thanks for watching.

[@sciguyjeff]

Missed several with the lack of oranges episode. It would take at least a week just for orange seeds to sprout and another 5 years or more before even growing the first fruit. Also, the torches that are supposed to keep the seeds warm are far too high from the ground to do so. Also, why does everyone want to wear sweaters and long sleeves on a tropical island?

[@davidcaldarola5188]

+sciguyjeff - I mentioned in the season one video that there were certain things I felt were better left alone. "Dream" sequences are definitely off limits as anything can happen in dreams. But you caught a good one - no matter what the weather was, they always wear the same clothes - except Ginger who seems to have a wardrobe available that's bigger than Mrs. Howell's! Thanks.

I must say, I love Gilligan's Island. I even recently bought the complete series in HD from VUDU. But what is more upsetting is the fact that I am a forensic scientist and rely on my observation skills...and yet, I think, if I am not mistaken, the only one I saw before was the tube up Mary Ann's sleeve when Gilligan was invisible. So, since I am good professionally at what I do...I am going to chalk my lack of observation up to being really entertained when I watch the show and not even realizing the exterior hut changes. Now, going to watch them tonight and see how bad it is! :-) Thanks for the video. It was fun!

At 8:37, when he talks about the hatch on the mine changing sides, it's because in the middle of the three shots, the negative was flipped. Notice the collar of Gilligan's red shirt also appears in mirror image in that one shot.

I haven't seen all of your videos but I've been watching GI a lot the past week and last night noticed a goof in the episode where everyone's allergic to Gilligan. When the Skipper is sneezing and blowing out the candle repeatedly, G puts an obstacle between the two on the last sneeze but the candle is blown out anyway. I saw the lips and nose of the guy leaning in to blow it out on the right side of my screen. XD

[@adamt5164]

Another example of Gilligan's insanity. In episode three of season two when the overthrown dictator comes to the island, they try to get him to use up all the bullets in his gun by getting him to fire at a target. During this scene, the dictator hands the gun to Gilligan, who hands it back to him a few seconds later.

[@volzpair9801]

I don’t think the séance goof you mentioned with Professor not being covered by the blanket or sheet, or whatever on the table is actually so because if you notice in the shot previous to that the table is sitting on a stage the professor isn’t under the table he’s under the stage therefore, you would not notice the tablecloth in front of him or legs by him he’s under all of that

The belt buckle, ring, and necklace are likely silver, non ferrous metals, and so not attracted by the magnetism.

[@josephinepardo8556]

Most all jewelry and many vintage fishing rods and reels are made from non-ferrous metals....Gold, silver, in the fishing rod's instance it could have been made of brass to prevent corrosion. Non-ferrous metals are not magnetic.

[@onestoptechnologies7305]

Most jewelry(necklaces and rings), zippers, belt buckles are non-ferrous thus not magnetic, as well as, stainless steel, which if Gilligan had a "solid steel" necklace it would have been stainless because, in an ocean environment, any other steel would have corroded(rusted) incredibly fast, staining his skin and clothing.

The shots of the huts were added AFTER production by editors who changed almost monthly. Sherwood didnt have time nor Jack Arnold or Jerry Hopper etc to check every "hut". After Season 1 they just gave up completely on the insert edits. Bob Denver was a heavy smoker..but it wasnt usually tobacco lol

[@davidcaldarola5188]

It still wouldn't have been hard to have a segue hut shot for each hut per season. The point I make after the third season video demonstrates that a show can be very popular if people like the cast, regardless of some inconsistencies or production sloppiness. I suppose what is unique about the show is that there are so many goofs. I can't think of any other show with so many goofs, errors, or oddities.

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

Considering William Paley despised the show they obviously didn't spend the time to pay a continuity consultant. Or do many retakes. They got their yearly budget from Phil Silvers who gave them a lot less than what Paley authorized which was about half of the budget for Gunsmoke...It is what it is lol

[@abigguitar]

I personally think the hut switcharoo was intended as a running visual gag on the show. It wasn't really important and it added to the insanity of the show's premise anyway. I mean really, those castaways could make practically anything out of bamboo and twine. And, BTW, where did they get all of that twine? I never saw them making any.

Noticed something in the episode where May Ann thinks she's Ginger. She supposed to be wearing Ginger's clothes but they're very obviously different. The "beaded beige" that Ginger always wears is quite different when Mary Ann wears it. Same with the one should, leopard dress. Ginger's leopard print has orange and a large pattern. When Mary Ann wears it it's different.

[@frankcarlone5130]

Actually, it IS upside down. If it was simply reversed, the top would still be the top, and the bottom would still be the bottom. Not the case here. If it were reversed, the open side of the 3 would be on the right side, not the left; and the straight edge of the 3 would be on the top, not the bottom.

Why do you not mention that in the new opening the boat is now in the lagoon instead of the beach opening in the first season?!

[@davidcaldarola5188]

It is arguable that the image of the beached boat is not in the lagoon. The boat pictured is highly pitched at the bow meaning there is s serious slope going downward towards the water. The beach around the lagoon is perfectly flat. They probably placed the pictured boat somewhere else.

[@randallbrooks5787]

Huh? lol. No, the first season had the beached boat on the actual beach side of the island, whereas the second season not only had a different boat, but had it now beached on the lagoon side of the island. Oh, and I just noticed lately watching some recent re-runs that season three had the boat beached on the lagoon side of the island as well, but at a different angle. Just one of life's mysteries, I guess, lol. Really enjoyed your videos by the way! Thanks for posting them!

[@jsv438]

Lots of fun! I'm a HUGE Gilligan fan! Thanks. One questionable observation about the Howell's being remarried; Mrs. Howell would likely have been a debutante. If so, she MAY NOT have been "known" to fashionable society as 'Ms. Wentworth' UNTIL she was at least 16 (or older), so her character COULD BE 55 or older in that scene if we allow for this debutante rule. Does this work? ~JSV

[@davidcaldarola5188]

Miss Wentworth is her maiden name. Mr. Howell said she was Mrs. Howell longer than she was Miss Wentworth, but the differing years they claim to be married is between 20-22, which means she would have to be no more than very early forties when she was getting remarried to Thurston. One can be charitable and say she was only in her forties the way Jack Soo, who played Det. Nick Yemana on Barney Miller told Dietrich he was going to be 46 on his birthday when Jack was actually 60 at the time in real life. So it is possible that the show intended for Mrs. Howell to only be in her forties. BUT... in the episode where Howell thinks he has gone broke, the professor asks Mrs. Howell what did they do to help him during the depression when Howell lost most of his money and was just a single millionaire. Mrs. Howell said they took away his radio. BUT... the depression ended at the beginning of the second world war at least 25 years before GI. If Howell lost most of his money at the beginning of the depression, say around 1928-29, they would have been married at least almost 40 years. For her to be Miss Wentworth longer than she was Mrs. Howell, she would have to be at least 80 years old. In either case, 20-22 years before the mid 1960s places their marriage at the end of WW II "after" the depression had ended. I know some people can't understand the fun in these chats, but being a writer, I like to catch such goofs. Thanks for watching and replying.

+Beyond Ken - Yes, the streaks should run the way they are shown, but you are missing the point, The changing pattern shows the prop mine had been rotated 90degrees when the professor is behind it, and then rotated to what was the back of the mine when Gilligan and Mr. Howell are stuck to it. There is nothing in the scene that requires the prop mine to be rotated, so why is it rotated? It is like the actors or the prop department people either messed with the mine unnecessarily, or maybe the shooting occurred over a few days where the prop was moved off stage and into storage, and then returned to the stage in a different orientation. Imagine a scene in a movie where there is a vase on a table with mostly purple flowers on the right near the male lead, and white flowers on the left near the leading lady, with a red bloom barely visible in the rear of the bouquet. The scene shifts to the lady and suddenly the purple flowers are pointing in her direction, but when the scene finishes and the camera pulls back, the big red flower is front and center. It seems Gilligan's Island didn't bother hiring someone to maintain continuity between shots and scenes.

highly sad video... no one cared or noticed these little errors... it was a great series

[@davidcaldarola5188]

I disagree with you, Jason. You are saying no one cared to a video with almost 200k hits - not to mention season 1 with over half a million hits. Sure seems to me people cared and wanted to see these videos.

[@jasonledyard404]

@@davidcaldarola5188 these many hits are due to the fact that they can't watch the originals on youtube

[@SteveCarras]

:) No shots from "Friendly Physician" (the Boris Balinkoff/creepy castle one?)

[@davidcaldarola5188]

+Steve Carras - Couldn't find any goofs, errors or oddities there.

+David Caldarola In one scene Ginger is chained to a table wearing a full length dress, two scenes later she's still chained to the table but now she's naked, or did I just imagine that

[@davidcaldarola5188]

+impassable - I believe you are thinking of Ginger chained to the rack, but believe me.... every male viewer would have noticed if she later appeared naked!

[@KJTV67]

The reason that the Cosmonaut had the vodka bottle with an X was because the bottle he's been drinking from was empty and before he passes out, he drinks water from the other bottle!

[@davidcaldarola5188]

A lot of people seem confused by that scene. In order for the trick to work, the cosmonauts should never get a hand on the bottle with the X until it is taken from them.

[@tense99]

The Coast Guard was sent overseas and was in combat operations in the pacific and atlantic for the whole war; jus sayin in reference to your Navy/CG comment.

[@oldyellerschannel4676]

It's a "Fly Bridge" not a "Loft", but otherwise I'm not going to bitch. Okay I lied. Jewelry is usually made of Silver or Gold or Platinum. Gilligan's 4 Leaf Clover Charm is probably made of steel, but the Skipper's Ring and Necklace, which look very fancy and substantial to me, (and not like the Stainless Steel chains and Dog Tags that members of the Military are given), and Mr. Howell's Belt Buckle and Necklace, even a Watch or Ring, (I mean the guy is RICH right?) would ALL probably be made of some Precious Metal, which are Non-Ferrous, and therefore NOT Magnetic as is something which contains IRON, which IS Ferrous, "Fe" being the Periodic Table's Symbol for Iron..."Fe" being short for "Ferrous". So these items should NOT be magnetically attracted to the Mine. I also seem to remember the "Mine" spinning as it followed Gilligan on the raft, which would explain why the Hatch is first on one side, and then the other. Funny that such a heavy Mine can float though...

[@SciFiFan2012]

I was always confused about where the Professor slept, and why everyone that wore the same set of clothes, the clothes didn't wear out, and why did the Howells bring luggage for a 'three hour tour'. I enjoyed it, but found it weird they got rescued, then lost again on the same island! (How long were they gone (within the show's universe timeline)?

[@davidcaldarola5188]

+SciFiFan2012 - There is a multitude of things one can point out about the series... out of good taste, I decided not to mention the fact that they apparently didn't bother constructing his and hers Port-o-potties. And you are right about the Howell's - they would never have been caught dead going on such a three hour tour on a boat like the minnow. But we accept the premise as a family comedy show. I guess we just like to look into details and possible goof-ups, not to be mean-spirited, but just for fun. I believe the castaways were stranded for 15 years before returning home. But I personally never cared for the movies. I felt they could have come up with something more interesting. Keep an eye open for my next GI video that I will post on March 8.

[@SciFiFan2012]

+David Caldarola that's something else, they were 'lost' for possibly 15 yrs and no one on the island got together, and no little Gilligans or Mary Ann's?

[@dusterdude238]

I agree for as wealthy as the Howells supposedly were, they would of had their own Yacht. maybe His and Hers even LOL

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

I think the GI movies RUINED it for me. In my personal opinion I think that Sherwood Schwartz waited WAAAAAAY TOOOOOOO LONG on approaching NBC (who were 3rd in the ratings) about reprising Gilligan’s Island. If I was Sherwood, I WOULD HAVE APPROACHED NBC in 1968 when ALL the cast members were STILL young and able to do their parts well. I found the Gilligan’s Island movies contrived, OVER-acted, extremely predictable, poorly acted, and NOT well written. I think THE FANS could of written a BETTER script. The actors seemed ‘out of practice’, they SHOULD HAVE MATURED Gilligan in the movies...keeping his personality but ELIMINATING him being Naive and ‘innocent’, because when you’re young..it’s ‘cute’..but a middle-aged adult..NOT CUTE. The producers and writers MADE Gilligan INTO STUPID AND UNlovable...this COULD have been WRITTEN better...by GILLIGAN ACTUALLY INTIATING a kiss TO Mary Ann ..then ending the scene. (Making the audience want more)

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

They SHOULD OF physically MATURED Gilligan as well..KEEPING his NATURAL WHITE HAIR...INSTEAD OF putting a DARK BROWN DAMN WIG on his head!!! They COULD OF USED that episode where Mary Ann and Ginger fainted when they saw Gilligan with white hair..and in the Gilligan’s Island movie..at the beginning we see Gilligan from the neck down..opening up a sea chest in his hut..taking out a dark brown wig..then the camera follows Gilligan’s hands on the wig and see him PUT it on his TOTALLY WHITE HAIR. When the castaways FINALLY find out...Gilligan could of ADMITTED that he’d been doing that since 1975. ..anyway..I wish I was there..I would of done Gilligan’s Island justice with the scripts and with the actors. In fact, if Sherwood WENT TO NBC back in 1968 to PROMOTE this TOP RATED show to them, ALL THE ACTORS COULD OF BENEFITED by RENEGOTIATING Their Contracts...by ADDING RESIDUALS To ALL the RERUNS from there forward...and ‘maybe’ Tina Louise wouldn’t of been so resentful. ..just sayin’

[@whats20bucks68]

Forgot about the sheet stamped SS Minnow

[@MirkPurr]

David - caught one mathematical "goof" you made. When the Howells are getting "re" married Thurston makes the remark to Margaret "Lovey" about being a Howell longer than a Wentworth. You commented "had she been oh, say 50" they would have to be married 26 years. The marriage, in reality, could have been less than 26 years (25 years 183 days) and she still would have been a Howell longer. btw-watched every day after school in 6th grade while rolling newspapers.. love your videos!!

[@davidcaldarola5188]

It doesn't matter if it was 26 or 25 years 183 days since the first reference was from season 1 where they claim to have been married 20 years first and then 22 years - a lot shorter than 25 and 183 days. Thanks for the compliments.

[@mikemiller659]

Mrs. Howell has Braces on upper & lower teeth but no mention from the host.

[@Pmfried]

How about comparing one SEASON to another? For instance, the Minnow used in Season 1 is COMPLETELY different from the Minnow shown in the opening of Season 2 and subsequent seasons.. Also, from Season 2 on, there are no true beach scenes. In Season 1, there are no "lagoon" scenes. It was MUCH MORE realistic filming outdoors. From Season 2 on, it is painfully obvious from the sound echos that they are in a soundstage studio.

[@towringer]

In the episode with the Mr Howell impostor, the impostor knocks out the real Mr Howell and takes his clothes. Why does he then dress the unconscious Mr Howell in his wet clothes, right down to the hat, socks & shoes? How long would that have taken?

17:07 when the professer said as long as it is at sea it's legal. I wouldn't consider the lagoon as 'the sea'

[@davidcaldarola5188]

I explain that the professor is wrong after he makes that statement, but I can give him a pass since I found out about the whole thing from an episode of Perry Mason!

[@billsandiego3385]

David Caldarola which episode?

[@clutchcargo2513]

Fyi, the "loft" is called a flybridge.

[@neil6958]

I wonder if gilligan's Island goofs + errors are clues of the future! I don't think gilligan's island is just/merely a show. I mean, what if we're repeating time, in real life!! The A.M. radio has an antenna on it. It may be used as a transmitter? Or is symbolic of something. So many continuity errors, but are they errors indicate of the future!!?

[@ricka7747]

This was great. Your powers of observation are incredible.

[@davidcaldarola5188]

Thanks. Don't forget to view the third season and the addendum which contains some catches made by the viewers.

[@willday9316]

Does it count as a blooper that in the ghost episode, before it's revealed the ghost is a spy, we see sneakers poking out under the sheet?

[@davidcaldarola5188]

I wouldn't thinks so as no one believed it to be a ghost in the first place; even when we were kids - we knew it was a guy in a sheet.

[@neil6958]

The Cast & Crew ARE NOT Perfect!!!! 😊😁
