The Professor Builds a Telephone to Call for Help - Gilligan's Island - 1966
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 окт 2016
- The castaways attempt to call the USA on a phone made of shells and bamboo but, as usual, bad luck and Gilligan prevent their rescue. The Professor is brilliant as always (even if he still can't build a boat).
Приколы
Russell Johnson was so convincing as The Professor that when I grew up watching this show I wondered if he was a real-life science teacher.
He was a teacher..
Dawn Wells studied chemistry in college. She had great science credentials.
Sherwood Schwartz was in biology and so inspired to put the character of the professor Roy Hinkley on the show
Russell Johnson insisted that all his scientific lines in the show were factual!
i'd have been sneaking into his hut. smart is sexy and sexy is sexy too
Gilligans island had great fishing, golf with the Thurstons, Coconut cream pies, beautiful beaches, and dont forget, Maryann and Ginger...heck I'd even do Mrs. Howell. I'd never leave.
2:02 I loved it when Alan Hale broke the 4th wall. His expression reflected exactly how we felt.
Like Oliver Hardy.
leafyutube it’s because Skipper is actually based off of Oliver Hardy
It was a favorite of his...just like Backus' ad-libbing
“Professor, there’s no need to make a phone call to contact the U.S. I just looked millions of its residents in the eye!”
@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 And Gilligan Stan Laurel?🎩🤔🧐🤷
I like how the Skipper adheres to the professor's knowledge while still showing his leadership skills
Ann Robinson from "War of the Worlds" played the telephone operator that Gilligan spoke to about the movie double feature of "Frankenstein Goes Surfing" and "Dracula Goes Surfing".
If you were stuck on an island with Maryann and Ginger, you’d screw up all the rescue attempts, too.
You're hilarious 🤣
I would also!! But the only time any one of those guys made a move on Ginger was the Skipper when he had amnesia and none of them ever made a move on Mary Ann!
Not me,especially Mary Ann and her butt
Mary ann all the way
Oh, get your mind out of the gutter and get up on the curb with the rest of us, would'ya 🤔
Gilligan, as always, does things with good intentions but always bad results. And i can't help but to laugh when Skipper breaks the 4th wall.
It NEVER gets old!
Never!! 😂🎉❤
Love the episodes of the professor when he's the bearer of good news and bad news, it cracks me up every time...
Wasn’t that every episode?
A lot of people make fun of this show, but in my opinion it’s superior to many of the comedy tv shows of today. The writing was witty and divinely humorous. The acting was second to none.
Tell me you don't watch any modern comedy shows without telling me you don't watch any modern comedy shows...
@@Zombie_Trooper Notice they cut Skippers line when he replies to the professor with a foreign accent? Thank God I have the DVD of the episode in my collection!🤔🏝🥥☎
This plot here is pretty dumb though.
@Zombie_Trooper I think he is saying, unlike most modern shows, you can this with your family without being embarrassed.
Ginger's hair always looks good. Was there a hair salon on the other side of the island?
Poor Gilligan. His intentions were so well meaning by wrapping up the wires with "the rubber goo the professor made."
Indeed!
But how the heck did he have time to wrap the wires up - the Skipper and Professor hustled everyone to immediately seek shelter when the storm broke out? Now if he had time to do that, too bad his "permanent" glue that only lasts temporarily wasn't available - since the wires would then eventually be exposed to the salt water and corroded causing the phone company to eventually investigate what was going on.
When you think about it, it was a good idea. Gilligan was only trying to protect them from the rain, which would have ruined them for further use.
Due too Bad timing and failed of the warning ⚠️ not sure how gilligan manage to cover wires from getting wet with rubber putting hands for gloves🤣 precautions👍 only goofed misfired cause it’s gone instead when can’t get that fixed to get rescued!😂 just sucks for gilligan when has too take the punishment out of stupidity whenever he touches trying to do right only worse instead, late Alan hales expression broke 4th wall on we feel for 🤦🏻
This show brings back so many memories, Can’t believe it was only 3 seasons

Can you believe that. They didn't even want the show to get rescued.
Mrs Krabbitz is always so quick to believe the goings on at 1164 Mourning Glory Circle, but not the Castaways on Gilligans Island...
😄
Can you explain this
@@slightliestupid9 1164 Mourning Glory Circle was the address of the couple in Bewitched, another TV show. Mrs. Krabbitz was the neighbor and was aged by the same actress.
@@MrJoebrooklyn1969
This was one of 2 actresses who played Gladys Kravitz.
@@peterpiper831 Alice Pearce was the first Gladys Kravitz and Sandra Gould was the second Gladys Kravitz. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
He can build a coconut telephone and a lemon powered radio with nails but he can't patch a ship.
They tried patching the boat in one of the early episodes. Gilligan found that one of the trees had sweet sap so he put some on his pancakes and discovered that the sap stuck the pancakes to the plate like glue.
They decided to use that sap to glue patches on the boat. Then Gilligan discovered that the glue was temporary. It would stick but then it would lose its sticky quality. If they used it on the boat, it would stick long enough to get the boat into the ocean but then it would unstick, the patches would come off and the ship would sink out in the deep ocean.
After they’d glued the patches on the boat, the patches started unsticking and coming off. This continued until the boat was a skeleton and then the skeleton fell apart.
After that, there wasn’t a boat. They would’ve had to build one from scratch and I don’t think they had all the materials they would need in order to do that.
@@cmm2145 But plenty of designer clothes and hair care products for ginger and Maryann.
as a Kid, this was one of my Favorite episodes 😀
Mostly because I was, an am into Electronics projects.
and the telephone system fascinated me
Thank you very much, Shatner Method, for uploading this interesting video of "Gilligan's Island" so that I can see it again in the future.

Gilligans Island got to be the one TV show iI've watched at least one episode a week since 1964.
The show began production in the midst of the Kennedy assassination
I loved this show ❤️
The operator was the second Mrs. Kravitz on Bewitched.
I noticed that right away.
She played the 2nd Mrs.Kravitz
Why do my comments keep disappearing after I post them. It's like witchcraft happening-- or something evil
Now it's back
They get an operator, and it has to be Mrs Kravitz.
The SECOND Gladys Kravitz.
I always liked the bright technicolor of the show. Mary Ann was my fave character, plus she was from my state of kansas!!
Kansas hey? Reminds me of American TV when they ask someone "Where are you from?" Kansas. Haha What difference does it make. It only matters to that person and anyone else who comes from there. I'm from Bula-Bah-Canker. Are you one of the 46% of Americans that believes the earth is only 6,000 years old?
@@massatube the 46% of Americans who are based.
I hope you are not in Andover. I heard a wild tornado whipped through the area a few days ago causing tremendous damage.
Her and Martina McBride ❤ !!
RabbiHerschel ok Zionist. Go multilate a penis lol
The best part is the Skipper slapping Gilligan with his hat lol
I have an excellent collection of "Gilligan's Island" and now that I have time on my hands I can see this again whenever and wherever I want to see it.
Please think positive daily. ©®

My day job is telephone line technician and this is absolutely hilarious! It's like they made an episdoe just for me = )
Boy, that storm really picked up fast!
Great show!!!
If this happened today, they'd get nothing but car warranty calls.
and debt consolidation
At 2:04 I was reminded of Oliver Hardy when The Skipper gave us a camera look for a couple of seconds after he was exasperated by the Professors explanation which he couldn't
understand. Alan Hale did that from time to time on this show.
It’s because Gilligan and Skipper are based off of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy
1966, 9/11 wasnt used yet!
“The 911 emergency system was first implemented in 1968. The first call to 911 was placed in February of 1968. Before 911, citizens needed to dial local 7-digit phone numbers to reach police, fire or emergency services.
The 911 combination was chosen for a variety of reasons. The 911 system was created in 1957 for the purpose of public safety. It was proposed by firefighters that wanted to ensure people had a place to call to reach the fire department.”
I love Gilligan island
I always wondered how the professor, Gilligan and the skipper kept their one outfit so clean
And everybody else (especially the Howells) had enough clothes to fill an airplane hangar!😅
The professor says that the bare wires will soon break exposed to the salt water. Breaking the wire is what they should've done in the first place. The Skipper actually suggested earlier that they break the cable so that the phone company will send out a repair crew to fix it and the repair crew will find them and they'll be rescued. The professor knew that was true but said it wouldn't be that simple because the phone company anticipates a cable getting broken and they automatically re-circuit calls into another cable to bypass the break. If they broke the cable, it would be 2 or 3 months before the phone company sent out a repair crew. The professor believed that using the cable to phone for help would get them rescued faster. This is where being impatient cost them another rescue. Good things come to those who wait.
The chances of a storm dragging the cables back out without time for the professor to prep or guide others on it was small.
When I watched this as a kid, I always thought when I grew up I would make Marianne's speciality ~ Coconut Cream Pie. I never have, so far. After watching this I might honour my pledge! I've never tasted it but it sounded so exotic.
I like the Skippers logic : Red white and blue gets America, red vines get Russia.
Go out now and get the ingredients 😊
@@riverland22~ 3 years later and still haven't. Maybe this week is the time!
@rubytuesday5412 😅...yes I think this week is the time ☺️...anything with coconut in must be good 😋
Outstanding incidental musical curtains
What a wonderful world we had. We now have stupid cell phones. I really wish we could go back in time.
If there is no service, we still use towers. Only a satellite phone could work
Sorry, grumpy old person, I'm sitting in a waiting room, right now, watching gilligan's island on my cell phone. Instead of twiddling my thumbs.l, like people in waiting rooms did in the past. You're delusional if you think life was better without cell phones
Just move to Alabama!!
I liked the part where Gilligan tries to quickly explain to the San Diego operator they were shipwrecked and therefore unable to deposit a quarter in the (missing) coin slot and she says "why do I get all the nuts?!" before hanging up on him. I can relate to her since that seems to happen to me at work, getting all the nuts calling - and I'm not even an operator, let alone from San Diego.
When the operator asked for address to mail 15 cents they should have asked her if her refrigerator was running❗😳🤓❤
Oh man you cut off the funniest part where the skipper hat slaps Gilligan.
Sandra Gould (Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched) as the unfeeling operator .
If Gilligan said to the operator that "We're the passengers and crew of the SS Minnow and that there shipwrecked on a deserted island southeast of Hawaii,maybe she'd listen and not disconnect the line.
And the show would be over , Stoopid
I don't think she'd believe them anyways.
azure rainbow --
Likely, the operator still would not believe given she'd wonder how, if they're shipwrecked on an island, they would be able to telephone out. (Would she accept -- or even understand -- the explanation of the downed telephone cable found at the lagoon?)
They got in touch with the San Diego operator. Instead of trying to reason with her, why not simply ask her to place a collect call, person-to-person, with my personal friend/Hollywood agent/board of directors of Howell Industries/scientific colleague/Kansas farm family?
JFC... another KAREN folks.
That tense guitar sounds so cool classic!
Professor builds first cell tower funded by thurston Howell 3rd.
I've seen that episode at least 20 times, too bad they didn't call the navy or coast guard lol.
I don't know if they could have gotten a hold of them. Getting a hold of *anybody* was kind of a crap shoot.
Or 911
@@PrimateSoul 911 didn't exist back then!🤔🙄🤨🙆
@@PrimateSoul911 did not exist back then.
Gilligan and company💚.
4:44 honestly this blunder wasn’t really thoughtless, Gilligan wanted to keep the wires in check so that they could continue to try and use it
2:03 Skipper looks at camera with an infuriated expression.
Yeah, that face from him was too good! He's like "Why must I listen to his babbling intellect?" XD
I think he borrowed from Oliver Hardy's style of looking at the audience.
They edited this. In the original, while Skipper and Professor are at the telephone vines, the Professor explains something complicated to the Skipper. To which, the Skipper in an obvious Mexican accent says, Easy for you Professor, Not Easy for Me.
I believe the correct line is "easy for you, difficult for me".
exactly
....the political correct police are loose as usual.....and then they're is Mrs. Kravits (sp?), the nosy, busybody neighbor on Bewitched as an operator....good job for her as her nosiness would come in handy listening to other people's calls.....
there not they're GN
....of course your right suzycreamcheesez....i sometymes suffer a temporary loss of speling cents and even my 4th grade English teacher reprimanded me for my heir....using cinammons and malaproprisms are favorite writings tools of mine...bektaboora berries typically relieve this problem quickly......they are good too for roomus e gloomus.....
My favorite episode
Funny how NOBODY remembered their own phone number to try
The professor was sooo good
❤
I still worry about the fate of the castaways. I hope they get rescued someday. It is so sad…
I know what you mean. 59 years later, here's hoping that one day they'll finally be rescued.
There dead they remained there untill they meet the almighty 😂
yeah, according the movies they were rescued but always end back on the island again. oh well.
The movies had them rescued, get shipwrecked on the same island, then escape again, but then decide to turn the island into a tourist resort, where they hosted a game between the Harlem Globetrotters and a team of robots.
@@arlibrarianWith Martin Landau and Barbara Bain as the villains!
when the phone goes dead whenever it rains is known as ETIR, every time it rains.
How come I didn’t have professor as a teacher
Hello hello hello you cannot make collect calls from the island they going to charge you a fee. Gilligan’s Island classic moment
Why didn’t they just call a family member or friend?
The dialing mechanism was crude, so it wasn't as easy as that.
All their calls were arbitrary. They did not have the means to choose a city to call. Therefore, it was not as if Ginger could dial a friend in Hollywood or Mr. Howell one of his New York colleagues or Mary Ann her mom in Kansas. Each call was a shot in the dark, as it were.
There were lots of wires in that cable, many leading to different countries and they didn't know which wire would lead a call to the United States. Plus, they probably tried calling people they knew but couldn't get anyone as many calls were just dead ends. As Mary Ann said they made several incomplete calls. The dialing mechanism is very primitive made out of bamboo and rubber.
Maybe because they had no phones or signal
It’s interesting that telephone is being used as a noun and a verb. “It’s a telephone and then telephone for help.. “ I’d say I’d like to call the coast guard collect or have Mr. Howell call one of his corporations..
I would’ve lied about that 75 cents!
Now how common was it the same like storm that brought those phone lines in swept them back out to sea like logic of the professors reverse tsunami in the surfer episode
For those wondering why didn't they just break the cable in the first place, here's why. The Skipper did suggest that they should break the cable so the phone company would send out a repair crew to fix it and the repair crew would track the break to the island and they'd be saved. The professor knew that was true but said it wouldn't be that simple as he explained that the phone company anticipates breaks in a cable and automatically re-circuits calls into another cable to bypass the breaks. He said the phone company probably wouldn't send out a repair crew for 2 or 3 months and of course, they didn't want to wait that long and the professor believed that trying to use the cable to call for help would get them rescued faster. But did they ever stop to think that even if they did manage to get someone through the wire, what makes them think anyone they call is going to believe them? I mean getting a phone call from someone claiming they tapped into a phone line on a deserted island seems a bit far-fetched don't you think? Yes, breaking the cable would've been the better solution. They'd have to wait 2 or 3 months but good things come to those who wait.
I like how the Skipper is smart in his own way and defers to the professor to matters he isn't familiar with.
So if they broke the cable and were just a little more patient, they could have been off that rock.
@@nathanmorgan7949 EXACTLY!
JFC..;. another KAREN folks.
Professor, you made a telephone out of coconuts and a hut out of bamboo sticks. *FIX THE HOLE IN THE BOAT!!!*
@jasminnemcdonald94A But the Professor did fix the whole in the boat back in season one with some type of tree sap aka super glue that Gilligan found but sadly the results of the glue are not permanant! Causing the minnow to break apart completely LOL!🤔🛥🏝🥥
where the hell is the part where the Skipper talks in a Mexican accent?? That's the funniest part of the entire episode!!!
I'm assuming they cut that part out because it wasn't politically correct.
Yep....cut off because feelings would be hurt. I'm surprised they kept in the part where Skipper said the RED wire must be the line for Moscow.
@@lisanealy1703 They still have it on the episode when they run it on MeTV. Heck, they ran the earlier episodes that had the blatantly stereotypical Japanese sailor. I'm surprised they didn't catch flak for that!
@@denisemayosky1955 cool! I love the Skipper. Wouldn't he be the best to have as a friend!!
@@lisanealy1703 He sure would!😊 He's a big teddy bear!🐻
My 80’s fashion sense came from Russell Johnson’s.
Tried to fix the Minnow, the glue didn't hold. Sealed up the break in the telephone cable, tight as a drum.....
Sandra Gould aka Mrs. Kravits from Bewitched.
She's from the Bronx or Brooklyn with that accent!
The operator is the second Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched.
Why didn't they secure the cable to prevent it from getting away from them?
The operator was Mrs. Kravitz on bewitched
Actress Sandra Gould played Mrs. Kravitz on Bewitched. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
First thing you do is lash it to a palm trees
I remember this episode from Nick at Nite
goodbye littleton
This is one of my favorite episodes, but what was portrayed would be technically impossible. Any storm powerful enough to drag a cable off of the ocean floor (like Moses parting the Red Sea) would have leveled the island and killed everyone on it. Also, land line telephones such as rotary dial and Touch Tone, do not work on intercontinental toll cables. Those cables and the circuits that ride on them work totally different.
Something technically impossible on Gilligan's Island?! That's so unusual.
@@russellcampbell9198 Lol
@@russellcampbell9198 right. Now excuse me, I have to go use a bicycle to charge the alkaline betteries in the radio. It's fortunate I have a degree in radio-chemical--electrical engineering.
Technically impossible? On a TV show where the Professor can build a nuclear reactor out of coconuts.
[Skipper slaps OP on head with his hat]
If Sherwood Schwartz had brought a script as improbable as this one to The Brady Bunch set, he'd have gotten a tongue-lashing from Robert Reed.
1:40 man hours? What the hell else are you gonna do? You’re trapped on an island.
Great tv sitcom Compared to the punishment of trash that they have unloaded upon us in this generation
Mary Ann....
Mary Ann was such a baddie.😍
Was she playing Mrs. Kravitz when this was filmed?
Yes.
The line was busy.
Hello, professor? Chuck? Chuck? Is that you Chuck? WTF Chuck, No cheese for my blanogie sandwich! Can you Summon up Some Kraft for me chuck? Mm?
Why didn’t the Howells have their own yacht?? Mrs Kravitz was the operator.
I wonder how long they was on that island.
15 years accordiing to the 1978 Rescue from Gilligans Island movie.
She showed it to the IT calculator they are supposed to Cover up the wiring
better than their hitts boat and taxi cab
0:26 Mary Ann's tongue.
I have noticed that when the castaways are presented with a problem, to solve the problem the Professor uses a scientific method, Mr Howell tries a financial solution and Ginger tries a sexual solution. Has anyone else noticed the same thing ?
😂😂😂😊😮😅😢🎉😊😊😊😂 good one
But he cant fix a hole in a boat
😦
Those phone lines were in pipes
Why he said " clearly Peru is the brown wire?"
and yet...
Thats mrs crabitz fro beeirched
Surprise the professor never cured cancer
they cut easy for you difficult for me with the Spanish accent
Yes, they did. :(
Not removed on the DVD version, happily !!!!! :)
That didn't make sense when Gilligan (Bob Denver) said he wrapped the wires in rubber because he didn't want them too get wet, the wires were in the casing of the cable, and the storm took out the whole cable! How do you wrap a cable in rubber?? And why would Gilligan say I didn't the wires too get wet when the storm started, he was in the hut during the storm! Makes NO Sense!!
Agreed but nothing on Gilligan's Isle made any sense. That was the whole point of the show, if it even had one.
Boy u got that part right because than Gilligan would have been caught in the storm any way !rlb
Nothing on this show made any sense.
@@hifijohn That's why it was funny!😂
It funny only when you're young when you get older the show is mostly annoying and dumb.
why did you cut out easy for you difficult for me?
For the racially sensitive. Looking back, it is a little bit of an "eeehhhh..." joke from a more innocent time.
@@Metroid22540 Unnecessary to cut it out.
if they just cut all the wires
someone would have to find where it broke
saved
The Skipper did suggest that but the professor said that's true but it wouldn't be that simple. He explained that the phone company anticipates a cable getting broken and automatically re-circuits calls into another cable to bypass the breaks. The professor said it would be 2 or 3 months before they sent out a crew to fix it. The professor said that tapping into the wire to call for help would get them rescued sooner and they all want to be rescued now. But yes, breaking the cable would've been the better solution. I mean, if they were to get ahold of someone and tell them their story, who's going to believe them?
@@ericgrafton652 well they got off the island once already and ended up right back there.
and then a second time whey they turned it into a resort

The professor can do anything (except fix the minnow--very strange )
