Gilligan's Island (1964 - 1967) Cast THEN AND NOW 2023, All cast died tragically!

[@johnnymidnight3343]

Thanks for the video! I loved Gilligan's Island as a kid and I think of it fondly compared with today's TV shows!

[@j.d1614]

The beauty of television is these people will be forever young in the eyes of an audience that still watches these reruns and they will go on to live forever in our hearts

I loved this show from my childhood in the 60's.

Best show ever. My brother and I and friends, played pretend of Gillian's Island 🏝 as kids. I love the whole cast and crew. I was born 1972. There the best of the best. ❤

[@bettyford9336]

That Song a Classic for sure. To this day I know every word.

[@EdsterIII]

Jim Backus aka Mr.Magoo was a brilliant actor. Funny, yet always professional. All of the members of the ensemble were extremely talented and amazing people. This show was one of the best memories I have growing up. That and the Bugs Bunny/Road-Runner Show on Saturday mornings. So many memories of those iconic shows and how they had such an impact on our lives. RIP to all that have passed on. Thank you for allowing us to laugh with you, and enjoy your work. God Bless you all.

How funny as a child I always thought how is it that they can make a radio out of coconuts but can't built a boat to take them of the island. What a great show and kept my youth excited to see the next episode even though it was well before my time as a teen.

I growed up watching this show every day when I get in from school and today in my 50’s I still watch it on me tv every Sunday afternoon ❤

What's there to say? I grew up watching it from the time I was 6 to 9 years old. '64 >'67, during my wonder years,. The show, and the music that was playing in the background of the time defined the era. ✌☺

[@johnoconnor6356]

On the episode when the hunter was hunting Gillgan, that being an episode of the final season, maybe they could have saved that one for the final episode of the series, where he really did have them rescued, and made it a special 1 or 2 hour episode, where the castaways came back to a huge heartwarming welcome home party, instead of the hunter lying to them, only to hunt Gillgan instead, then go back on his word to rescue them. The series instead ended abruptly, leaving many to wonder if maybe they did get rescued and if they missed that episode.

[@eloiseockert9233]

There was a movie where they were rescues. There was also a cartoon series. Then another cartoon series where they became lost in outer space, Gilligan's Planet.

[@nancyhoffman4784]

There was 2 one was when they did get rescued from the island the other was called return to Gilligan's Island?

[@nancyhoffman4784]

@@eloiseockert9233 I missed the planet one I never knew about it until now?

[@SunRabbit]

Yeah, that episode where the guy comes on the island wanting to hunt humans disturbed me as a kid, and who knows if that trigger phrase "hunting humans" didn't motivate James Huberty to do his thing in San Ysidro back in 1979 (or thereabouts). What normal writer would come up with this plot and what producer would put this out? Even as a kid, knowing full well that this was fiction, I was thinking about the implications of being stuck in that lawless situation and what strategies for survival I'd have to adopt. The overall direction of the show was positive in that they started out as strangers (almost rivals!) but ended up as the best of friends, and THAT would have been the best strategy for group dynamics in that situation, even society at large.
