Summary: Just sit right back and you'll here a tale...
Review: Although this comedy was not well received at first, to this day it is still shown all over the world and in many different languages. This DVD tells the story of seven castaways from beginning to end. Reinactments give you a visualization of how the show came about and why it was such a success. Picture quality is superior. A must see for Gilligan's Isle fans!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Things you never knew......
Review: The lagoon could not sustain life. Bob and Alan put a fish in it and it instantly died.

Tina Louise was tricked onto the show by her manager. She was under the impression that it was her show.

Mrs. Howell had no breasts.

At 94 years old, Mary Ann is still hot.

Bob Denver sold his soul to the devil for eternal life, but looks like a mummy.

Russel Johnson, the professor can invent anything except for a diet pill. The guy weighs 450 pounds.

Review: This show was perfection. Anyone who enjoys the classic show Gilligan's Island MUST see this Documentary. The re-enactments were great. Much better then just showing pictures and old clips. It shows how the show was created having look alike characters play the parts of the original cast. These actors were very entertaining. Especially when I wasn't too excited about seeing new actors filling the roles. But it turned out to be perfect. The DVD menus and extras are themed very closely to the show and make for some fun amusement. This just makes me want all 3 seasons from the original series on DVD even more. I cannot wait for that day to come. All Gilligan Island lovers must own this DVD.

Summary: Gilligan
Review: This was a TV Special that was on last year in November I think. I taped it off the TV, but it would be nice to get it on DVD without commercials (there were a lot i believe).

Very Nice. Hosted By Dawn Wells (Mary Ann Summers), Bob Denver (Willy Gilligan), & Russell Johnson (Proffesor Roy Hinkley "The Proffesor"). It includes re-enactments of things that happend behind the scenes.

I have a Gilligan website. I had known about their real names like Willy Gilligan and Roy Hinkley, and Mrs. Howell's name (Eunice Wentworth (Lovey) Howell), and the Skipper Jonas Grumby's name. Now they announced the whole Willy thing on this and now everyone thinks that's the only way I knew.

It was a great special. I'm really glad they're releasing it on DVD. I hope they'll release all the episodes, and the other two movies, The Castaways on Gilligan's Island, and The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligans Island on DVD. They're not even on VHS. Hopefully the quality on those will be better than the rescue from gilligans island dvd. I heard that wasn't very good. I have that on VHS.

GREAT MOVIE.

Review: What a wonderful, wonderful film this is! "Gilligan's Island" was my favorite television show when I was a child, and since then I have read several books on the trials and tribulations of getting it on the air. This film was new to me - it has not been shown on T.V. in England. I am so impressed with the production standards, and the actors and actresses portraying the various people involved with the original series, while not being carbon copies of them, suggest them very well. It's also great to see Dawn Wells, Russell Johnson and Bob Denver helping with the narration. As well as this excellent film, which is very moving in parts, the dvd also comes with some great extras, including home movies and a very challenging trivia quiz! I would recommend this dvd to anybody who loves "Gilligan's Island". It is, quite simply, fabulous!
