    I am a Gilligan’s Island nut, since the first shows. A little trivia, when they show the boat leaving the harbor (actually Alamitos Bay in Long Beach CA), the flag on the Coast Guard station , due to the recent assassination of President Kennedy. Also the water was always cold in the lagoon in Studio City and the actors wore a wetsuits beneath their clothes!
    Thanks for the Coconut Island information, I always wondered where that island was!!

    The pilot episode was filmed on the same day Kennedy was assassinated. If you google it you will see a flag flying half mast.

    I’m disappointed that the new Gilligan’s will be computer generated, animated. I wish this would be with live actors. I know I won’t watch basically cartoons of a show that was so great.

    Thanks for linking the intro to the Gilligan’s Island. Everybody should watch it! Their departure point is the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. You can see the crane next to the Ilikai which was Chin Ho’s hotel development on Waikiki. The construction was completed in 1963 and the hotel looks complete from the exterior. It’s funny to see the Ilikai without the Hilton Hawaiian Village next to it!!!

    We lived on Lilipuna Road in Kaneohe then and Coconut Island was right around the corner across the bay. We lived for Gilligan’s Island. I’m watching the marathon now on the Sundance network.

    I just watched ep.13 “Birds Gotta Fly” and there are a lot of “beach” scenes showing the wrecked ‘Minnow’and long shot and was wondering if this was Hawaii or the L.A. coast, maybe Malibu? Does anyone know? When I was a kid in the early 70s, (I was 10 or 11) I would watch this show every day after school. Was my favorite.

        Incorrect. The pilot was shot on Molaa Bay in Kauai. Once the series was picked up, beach scenes were either recycled from the pilot, or new ones were shot on Zuma Beach in Malibu. After episode 12, there were no more beach scenes. It was all on the CBS Radford set, including the lagoon.

    Thank you, watched Gillian every day that I could.

    We had a trip to Hawaii planned since 2020 with 12 of my siblings and their spouses but it kept getting pushed back until we weren’t able to go; didn’t get a refund for the air B and B so a handful of our group went, by this time the governor of Hawaii asked people not to come there because of the high numbers of COVID-19, the hospitals were reported as full and I am a former stroke victim and have had a quad bypass so we thought it best not

    Hello. Looking at the intro for Season 1 (B&W) the island appears to be a different one. Smaller with a visible beach and tall palm trees. From season 2 on it was Mokuoloe but did you come across in your research what island is the original?

    Bummer! I am just now getting to view the video and the channel has been “terminated”. So sad! I am probably one of the biggest fans of the show (in reruns). I guess it’s true “you snooze you lose”! Aloha

    Mahalo for this and taking me back to my childhood. So the age old question, Ginger or MaryAnn?

    Dawn Wells said between her bellybutton and Ginger’s low cut dresses that’s had to stay one step ahead of the censors 3 second rule barring both!
