Gilligan's Island

nice cast list a few posts ago.

Lost is the furthest thing from dumb. It's the best written, smartest show on tv that doesnt cross the line into boring territory (*cough*Mad Men*cough*). Honestly, Lost is the best show on television.

What do you watch?

There's honestly nothing running on TV currently that is a must watch for me.

Terminator? Heroes? Smallville even?

I hear that. Aside from a few shows (including Lost! ) I've given up on pretty much everything else. Fox, CBS and ABC are nearly unwatchable. With the exception of the monday and thursday night line-up, NBC isnt anything to write home about. The writers strike really just killed my intrest in alot of shows...

SCC is ok, but pretty boring to me compared to T1 and T2.
I was into Heroes first season, then I started 2nd season and I lost interest.
Tried again with third season and just couldn't get back into it.
Never a Smallville fan, but then again, I've never been too into SUperman aside from the animated series.

Yeah, I mean I guess I'm waiting for Nip/Tuck to come back but there really seems to be a lack of interest for any current show from me.

How About Kevin James as The Skipper?

 

[Majik1387]

No. Unfunny and there's better actors for the job.

 

[Dr. Evil]

One of the greatest TV themes ever:

Did not see the final episode, did they ever get off the island?

 

[Sam Fisher]

Indeed.

There was a tv movie, Rescue From Gilligan's Island, where they get off the island but wind up stuck again on it at the end.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Any chance for cameos from Dawn Wells and Russell Johnson?

 

[Sam Fisher]

Are the original Gilligan and Skipper still alive?

 

[zeptron]

Are the original Gilligan and Skipper still alive?

Nope. Bob Denver died in 2005 and Alan Hale Jr died in 1990.

Zach Braff is Guybrush Threepwood damnit!

I think David Spade would be better for that role.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Are the original Gilligan and Skipper still alive?

Bob Denver (Gilligan) died in 2005.
Alan Hale Jr. (Skipper) died in 1990.

The Professor and Mary Ann (also Original Ginger) are the only ones still alive, but Tina Louise wants nothing to do with the show anymore.

at the fact that Russell Johnson (The Professor) is 84

Of course, Dawn Wells got in trouble with the law earlier this year.

I've actually always wanted a Gilligan's Island movie..Just get the Apatow crew:

Gilligan-Steve Carrell
Skipper-Seth Rogan
Professor-Paul Rudd
Ginger-Leslie Mann

Lovey could be the boss from 40 Year Old Virgin and the Helping Hands lady from Role Models whose name escapes me..

Hey, it could be worse..IE Beyonce..

 

[Jochimus]

Indeed.

There was a tv movie, Rescue From Gilligan's Island, where they get off the island but wind up stuck again on it at the end.

There were two more after that, too. At the risk of spoiling (or maybe nauseating, depending on people's tastes):

* The Castaways On Gilligan's Island, where they're rescued again after a Gilligan-botched attempt to fly off the island in a plane the Professor patches together from a couple of WWII wrecks. This time the Coast Guard has the good sense to actually chart the island, and the Howells decide to turn it into a tropical resort in which all the castaways are shareholders. Yeah, seriously. They even had guest stars with typical subplot "problems", as if to say "Hey, look, folks! It's like the Love Boat, only funnier, because it's on Gilligan's Island! Isn't that awesome?"

* And, of course, that grand and epic masterpiece of TV movie events to which no other can compare, The Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island. Jim Backus is absent for most of this one, so they bring in the Howells' previously-unmentioned son, Thurston Howell IV. There's also Martin Landau and Barbara Bain as mad scientists trying to swindle the island away from the castaways for some reason, and it climaxes with the Globetrotters coming to the rescue in the ultimate basketball match, against a team of androids with the fate of Gilligan's Island hanging in the balance. Nice to see they at least got things back to normal for this one.

Oh, and yes, Tina Louise is NOT in any of these, but that's par for the course for TV movies based on Sherwood Schwartz shows (every Brady TV movie or follow-up they did with the original cast had at least ONE of the original "kids" replaced by another actor). Although, on the plus side, there was never a Gilligan's Island Variety Hour...

This is as bad as Beyonce if not worse.

Don't forget there was also an animated series called "Gillgan's Planet".

 

[StorminNorman]

Gilligan - Jay Baruchel (Tropic Thunder, Knocked Up, Undeclared)

Skipper - John Goodman (The Big Lebowski, Evan Almighty, Speed Racer)

Millionaire - Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, Elizabeth)

His Wife - Helen Mirren (Calendar Girls, The Queen, Shadowboxer)

Movie Star - Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Definitely Maybe, Hot Rod)

Professor - Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Cats and Dogs)

and
Mary Ann - Zooey Deschanel (Yes Man, Elf, Winter Passing)

Mary Ann should be the typical American Sweeheart (thus why I went with Elizabeth Banks) - Zooey Deschanell thrives on being quircky and off beat.

For some reason, I imagined Gary Oldman as Thurston Howell or the millionaires don't have to be that old, especially with the way people are becoming millionaires these days.

Also, would they stay on the island throughout the entire movie or would they end up being rescued at the end?

 

[Rishi]

Wow, whats the big deal if Beyonce is Ginger?

i dont think its true, but who cares. its not like this is schindlers list or something

They HAVE to almost get off but then fail because of Gilligan.

Didn't the Ginger character have that name because she had red hair? I really don't want to see Beyonce in a red weave, to be frank.

 

[Gamma Ray]

Beyonce should play Gilligan.
