I worked with Mr. Hale years ago, and he was a very cool, sweet man!
"The Amazing Chrighton" (Paradise Lagoon in US release) was a British class conflict and world turned upsidedown shipwreck comedy. Likely the inspiration for Schwartz pitch of the show. Americanized for class equity (no servants) but contrasted off the Howells. Each character represented a type of person in 1960s US.
Rich capitalist
His pampered socialite wife
Family farmer
Celebrity star (film and nightclub)
A state university professor
A sole proprietor
His apprentice employee
And the plots often played off these social and economic roles back home, but like the British movie, they woeked together to become an ad hoc family.
Alan Hale Jr had recently finished a late 50s series as star "Casey Jones" running the Cannonball train weekly.
Russell Johnson had played two protagonist characters on Twilight Zone that were very similar to The Professor....as he did in This Island Earth.
However he played a con man in Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Hawaii. He did a lot of gangster roles...but played the hero in "The Hungry Glass" which he did with Bill Shatner and Donna Douglas.
Tina Louise was apparently not as much as prima donna as has been referenced by Schwartz. She apparently just did not like Schwartz and felt he (and her agent) had cheated her and the rest of the cast.
She also knew it was not CBS that cancelled the show for season 4, but Schwartz himself. He had a syndication offer on completion of S3...and could make total profit without new production cost with at least 75 episodes in the pkg. He went for that and told CBS to pull it from the schedule.
He kept the actors hungry for work as none but Wells got residuals, and even she didn't at first due to creative bookkeeping. Therefore they returned for the cartoons and sequels.
Louise would occasionally appear with Wells...and they did a commercial together...
HOWEVER she refused to appear as Ginger as she'd have to share pay with Schwartz. She said he'd never recieve another penny from her.
We felt Ginger for a day, Many Ann for ever.
Mary Ann > Ginger.
Fan theory: Gilligan and Skipper were WWII vets who were survivors of the Indianapolis. Gilligan was extremely traumatized with severe PTSD. The two of them bought a boat and did sightseeing tours in Hawaii. Gilligan continuously purposely sabotaged all of their attempts to leave the island as he felt comfortable there and saw the other castaways as a substitute family for the fellow serviceman that he lost in the war. He finally felt at peace on the island and didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to lose his "family". Gilligan, in spite of seeming dumb, was in fact very highly intelligent. Many of the more surreal and outrageous episodes were in fact fantasies Gilligan was having as he had created an alternate world in his mind to cope with his PTSD. They were in fact only there for a couple of weeks before they were rescued.
And after they were rescued wouldn't Gilligan continue to mentally live on the island while physically in treatment/residency back home? Is there truly a way to come back from what he went through? And would the mind allow it, or maintain a fantasy "shell" to protect the psyche?
@@nutgoof I would hope he would just be able to go back to the life he had in Hawaii where it appears he was doing fine. Maybe Skipper would have found him some help.
I want what he's smoking
I thought Jim Bacchus's last role was Mr. Magoo
Jim Backus voiced Mr Magoo from 1949 to 1989. Gilligan's Island aired from late 1964 to mid-1967. Gilligan's Island was bumped because the network president and his wife wanted to keep Gunsmoke on the air and CBS wanted to move it to an earlier timeslot.
