Trivia: In the dream sequence, little Gilligan was played by Bob Denver's son Patrick.
Don't Bug the Mosquitoes - S2-E12
Trivia: The Wellingtons, who sang the Gilligan's Island theme song, appeared in this episode as Gilligan's favorite group The Mosquitoes.
Trivia: In the opening credits of the black-and-white episodes, the US flag at the marina is at half-mast because the opening was filmed shortly after the Kennedy assassination.
Trivia: The opening theme of season 1 ends with "And the rest". At the insistance of Bob Denver (Gilligan), "And the rest" was replaced with "The Professor and Mary Ann". Denver wanted equal credit for all actors/actresses.
The Secret of Gilligan's Island - S3-E25
Trivia: This episode was the only episode to feature a single regular castaway from the show (other than Gilligan) to ruin a rescue attempt at the end. The professor was to blame in this one by making a mistake.
Suggested correction: In the episode "The Big Gold Strike", it's realised that the gold can't be taken with them as it would cause the raft to sink. The end of the episode has the raft sinking and everyone, excluding Gilligan, admitting that they took some gold with them so it was everybody's fault with the exception of Gilligan as he actually didn't have any gold on him.
This should be considered another trivia entry, not a correction. The trivia entry says "single" regular castaway, so it's excluding the group causing the failure.
Correct. I knew about the "gold" episode which is why I wrote "single" castaway (to indicate just one regular and eliminate episodes involving guests that ruined rescue attempts). Thank you for that.
The Producer - S3-E4
Trivia: Tina Louise (Ginger) was not friendly with the rest of the cast. When she was approached to do the show, she was told her character would be the star and the others were there to support her. She felt betrayed by the producers and therefore did not interact with anyone else except for on camera.
Beauty Is as Beauty Does - S2-E2
Trivia: This is one of the few episodes where being rescued is not mentioned or brought up at all in the whole episode (or as its potential purpose). Instead, the focus is only on the beauty contest.
Trivia: Mrs. Howell was commonly referred to as "Lovey" by Mr. Howell and viewers know her by that name. Her first name actually was Eunice (though that name was never used in the show).
Trivia: This is the only episode with a dream sequence that does NOT include all seven castaways in the dream. Mrs. Howell does not appear in the dream in this episode.
Trivia: In the first season they used actual coconuts for cups but they were too porous.
Trivia: At the end, during the practice robbery of "Fort Knox", Balinkoff stops the Castaways when they're moving too slow and tells them, "Be neat, sweet, petite...but be fast!" 'Neat, sweet, and petite' are lyrics in the theme for The Addams Family.
Trivia: As Ginger, the Professor, Mrs. Howell, and Skipper talk, look at the handled device on top of the cabinet. It's the valve created in Season 2, Episode 25, "Steam Heat", when the Castaways thought there was a hot spring on the island, and wanted hot water for bathing and dishes.
Trivia: Gilligan's Island was available on the planet Thermia in the sci-fi comedy movie Galaxy Quest.
Trivia: Every cast member appeared in every episode.
