I didn't know the Skipper and Professor had names other than "Skipper" and "Professor" or that Mary Ann had a last name.
Of course the Skipper had a real name. I remember hearing it on the episode where they were listening to the newscast on their coconut radio just as they were sitting down to eat a coconut cream pie when Ginger walked in wearing mascara, lipstick, and sequined evening gown just before they all rode down to the lagoon in their bamboo car.
Come on, the Skipper not having a real name would be just a tad unrealistic, don't you think?
Ginger and Lovie weren't very smart or savvy...Mary Anne was a street smart girl from Kansas and she had a good head on her shoulders.
You older guys probably didn't forget the episode where everyone had to take turns riding the bike the professor made to generate power to run the radio...Mary Anne pumping those gorgeous legs with those short shorts on...
or when Mary Anne ate the radio active beets and she had more energy than a bee or was it carrots for Mary Anne?
correction:
Mrs Howell ate the beets, Mary Anne ate the carrots and could see boats off shore miles away.......
No way. Put some short shorts on Ginger and she's funky. Mary Anne had it all. Nice, tight ass. Plump breasts. Ginger always wore those dresses because she didn't have that ass like Mary Anne had.
Besides, Ginger was a bimbo.
"Country Roads" is one of my favorite songs, I am saddened to hear of Bob Denver's passing
"Maynard lived in his own world with its own twisted logic. His name was also illogical, the "G" stood for Walter. According to the show's creator, Maynard was named after his Aunt Walter who was married to his Uncle Edith. His speech was full of colorful phrases such as "You rang?" and "Like, I'm getting all misty". But Maynard G. Krebs will always be best remembered for his response whenever anyone mentioned the subject of work. He would instantaneously shudder, and let out a plaintiff cry of "WORK!?!?"
A Gabe Jennings moment?
When I was 7 years old, I watched that show and got this strange rush of excitement when I saw Mary Ann in shorts. It made me want to do something with her. What, I didn't know, but definitely something involving her.
Then as I got older and figured it all out, when I watched reruns, I wondered why the dudes on the island weren't spending all day (including the entire half hour of the show) in the huts with Ginger and Mary Ann. In retrospect, we can joke that the Skipper and Gilligan might have had their flaming reasons, which never remotely occurred to me as a straight teenager, but there seemed to be no excuse for the Professor to ever have his pants on with either Ginger or Mary Ann (or both at once, in my fantasy) on the island. Why, if I had been the Professor, and the Skipper and Gilligan actually were a little light in the loafers, it just would have meant more rampant totty for me! And Thurston Howell III could have done worse than to sneak off from that sagging ex-debutante Lovey (there can't be much tread left on those tires), but cheating on your wife never occurred to me as an innocent kid either.
In 1 episode there was an island beauty pageant and a Gorilla beat all 3 ladies. Therefore the Gorilla was the hottest one.
never saw not one single episode.

Yeah! Ginger is supposed to be a bimbo. It's her job! Haven't you seen the South Park episode where the Stupid Spoiled Whore shop encourages fourth grade girls to make Paris Hilton their role model?
On another note, it's been postulated that Gilligan's Island is a metaphor for Hell. The seven castaways represent the seven deadly sins. Ginger is obviously Lust, Mary Ann is Envy (not as famous or glamorous as Ginger and resorts to dressing in skimpy farm clothes), the Professor is Pride (always smugly has an answer or a contraption). The rich Thurston Howell III is Greed, Mrs. Howell (Lovey) is Sloth (relying on having married money), and the Skipper is Anger (always mad at Gilligan and swatting his hat off), which would leave Gilligan as Gluttony (which is not really apt). In some renditions of this metaphor, the Skipper is both Anger and Gluttony (he certainly fits both). That leaves Gilligan as ... Satan - the one who constantly forces them to remain trapped in the Hell of the island by always (unwittingly? maybe it's just his nature as the devil and he can't help it) sabotaging their plans just as they have renewed hope of escape.
In all this discussion of hotness, no one has mentioned Thalia Menninger, as played by Tuesday Weld opposite Bob Denver as Maynard G Krebs on "Dobie Gillis." Thalia was quite the conniver.
Gotta love the version(original?) of the song where the professor and Mary Ann get completely dissed.
Gilligan, the skipper too, the millionaire and his wife
the movie star, AND THE REST are here on gilligan's island
Those two were only named as "the rest"
Also...Mary Ann was by far the hottest and anyone who thinks otherwise is either smoking something, a homosexual, or just plain retarded.
I'm spending too much time on the boards, my mind is turning to mush,.....I understand this post>>>

Do we have an English Major willing to parse for our edification?
Thalia was Dobie's love interest.

If Tuesday Weld had married Frederic March II, she'd have been Tuesday March the second.
Thalia Menninger was a gold-digging coquette, that's for sure.
And Maynard G. Krebs was one cool cat, daddy-o. Anybody who saw that show could have guessed Bob Denver would get busted for weed.

I hadn't really heard this before, but it makes sense that the creator produced this to be a metaphorical hell.
They appear to be in Paradise, but they are isolated and they want to leave, but cannot. But why are the visited periodically by others, some of them bad people, who seem to be able to get off the island of hell?
