Gilligan’s Island is a classic in it’s own right with so many episodes I know by heart. With so many stars and guest stars, you can always count on Gilligan for a laugh. I can remember the whole funny cast by name Gilligan ( Bob Denver ) Jonas The Skipper Grumby ( Allan Hale Jr
) The Professor Roy Hinkley ( Russel Johnson ) Ms. Mary Ann Summers ( Dawn Wells ) Ginger Grant ( Tina Louise ) and Thurston Howell III ( Jim Backus ) with his wife Mrs Unis Wentworth “Lovey” Howell ( Natalie Schafer ).
Some of our favorites include the Surfer Boy played by a young Kurt Russel, the Japanese sailor and the Russian spy that looks just like Gilligan. We also like the episode where the space camera gos awry and lands on the island while they are collecting feathers for a bed and making syrup. They end up looking like huge bird people and the NASA people think they are looking at life on another planet.
Relive the fun at your own pace and enjoy the entire series on DVD. We watch ours regularly and still see new things we missed before.

and I still watch it when it is on because my kids watch it every year now. I guess classics like these are timeless and get better with age. It is a different world out here but in Classic Christmas TV Specials it is still a squeaky clean world.
