Gilligan Island Theory:

There were seven passengers on the S.S. Minnow because they each represented the Seven Deadly Sins.

Thurston Howell: Greed

Mary Ann: Envy

Ginger Grant: Lust

Lovey Howell: Sloth

The Professor: Pride

The Skipper: Anger

Gilligan: Gluttony

The S.S. Minnow was possessed, it disassembles itself on it's final appearance on the show.

Finally, the island is in fact, Hell. Many come and go quite easily but the castaways are stuck...forever.

The 8th (often overlooked) regular cast member was the lone announcer heard on the castaway's radio, voiced by Charles Maxwell..

Gilligan's Ilse Theme Lyrics


Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.



The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
5 passengers set sail that day
For a 3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour.



The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.



The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan, The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan's Isle.



The Closing Theme Song:


So this is the tale of the castaways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.



The first mate and the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the tropic island nest.



No phone, no lights, no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primitive as can be.



So join us here each week my friends,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castaways,
Here on 'Gilligan's Isle.'

One thing to keep in mind: It's NEVER a 3-Hour tour....

kinda like "hotel california"



you can check out but ya can NEVER leave !!

You've been hanging out with Alma too dam much!

And how the hell many coconut pies can one person eat?!

and where did they get those piepans???

They fashioned them out of an indian rubber plant found only exclusively...oh nevermind.....

Long story short...we went to a company conf down at the Gulf...Gilligans Island theme had to dress like them....so I was Mary Ann...went to grocery bought empty pie pan and can of whipped cream to fill it with just before we went downstairs right.....had to keep it cold so husband put it in champagne bucket with ice, and we go sight seeing...come back...maid service had been in the room and I go OMG! Wonder WHAT they thought seeing our whipped cream on ice?!

HA!!!!!!!! OMGAWD!
OHHhhhhh that reminds me...something else to put in "the bag"

that has got to be one of the most original and funniest things I have seen for a while.

And ladies...you know it would be HELL to be on an Island with no tampons! Just what would you do???

Interesting Angel

TRUE story I promise! We laughed and laughed and didn't even get to use it!

Twin, I'm glad I gave you another idea! We should compare notes!!!

Oh sing those lyrics to the tune of "Amazing Grace" They fit perfectly!

Some kind of absorbent fibers would be growing there,I am sure the professor took care of it.

Yeah...he'd fashion them out of an exotic indian rubber plant....
