Gilligan's Island 98 episodes They got canceled after three seasons Because Gunsmoke needed their time They were moved around every season But still rated at the top for their time slot Tina Louise who played Ginger never came back After the original three seasons Alan Hale who played the Skipper loved the show the most He always wore his Skipper cap Even when he golfed Dawn Wells who played Mary Ann Got the most fan mail She never got to show off her bell button Bob Denver who plays Gilligan Got the theme song changed in season two to include The Professor and Mary Ann The Professor, Mary Ann, and Ginger are still alive Natalie Shafer who played Mrs. Howell was 64 Noone knew her age till she died at 90 in 1990 Russell Johnson, the Professor Had a son die of AIDS Gilligan's Island is actually Coconut Island It sits in a harbor in the Hawaiian Islands You can walk out to it on a bridge So this is a tale of the show It will be here for a long, long time So join Netflix my friend You're sure to get a smile From seven stranded castaways Here on Gilligan's Island

I can't believe that no one commented ... they are obviously without culture ... learned a few things about this show that I didn't know by reading this

steve1223, Wow! A comment over a year later. I can't get the show on regular tv any more, so I watched every one on Netflix last year. I got all the facts from a book on tape by the professor, Russell Johnson. I got it at Goodwill.
