Top 10 Gilligan's Island Episodes

Gilligan's Island ran from 1964-1967. It spawned a famous theme song, a cartoon, made-for-TV movies, and the Ginger or Mary Ann debate. The network promised a fourth season for the show, but network president Bill Paley overruled his underlings. Apparently, his wife wanted Gunsmoke renewed and moved to a better time slot. Paley moved the western to Gilligan’s spot and cancelled the castaways. Here are my Top 10 episodes of Gilligan’s Island in no order…

The Producer (1966): A Hollywood producer lands on the island and the castaways decide to do their own version of Hamlet.

Little Island, Big Gun (1965): Larry Storch lands on the island. He plays a bank robber and takes the castaways hostage. In the end, he forces Gilligan to take him to his missing money.

You’ve Been Disconnected (1966): A telephone cable washes ashore allowing the castaways to make phone calls. They try to call for help, but…

Pass the Vegetables Please (1966): Gilligan finds radiated veggies and the unknowing gang eat them. They gain superpowers based on their favorite vegatables.

So Sorry, My Island Now (1965): A Japanese sailor arrives on the island and takes the castaways hostage. He did not know the war ended. This episode could never be made today!!

Castaways Pictures Present (1965): The castaways find silent movie equipment and make a film hoping it will help them get rescued. It ends up entered in a film festival and wins first prize.

Smile, Your On Mars Camera (1965): A Mars-bound satellite crashes on the island. The castaways hope to use it for a rescue, but Gilligan screws it up and NASA sees chicken people.

Three To Get Ready (1965): Gilligan gets three wishes before sundown. The castaways end up in the middle of the lagoon.

Not Guilty (1966): A newspaper arrives on the island implicated one of the castaways as a murderer.

Gilligan Gets Bugged (1965): Gilligan is bitten by a bug and believes he is going to die. The bug eventually bites everyone, but they discover it was not poisonous after all.
