I would say the character of Gilligan is unselfish, kind and loving. That makes for a hero. I wonder if Bob Denver ever knew when he took this role that he would be so famous well past his departure from this world.
What stands out the most for me is when Mary Ann fell on the stage after imitating Ginger from The Two Ginger Grants episode. The other men just sat there and Gilligan sprang up, ran to Mary Ann and helped her off the stage. Maybe saying he was a hero then is a bit stretched but what a gentleman. Lol
Gilligan was a sweet character and his kindness led him to some heroic acts. I think Sherwood used his character to teach kindness and unselfish behavior. Good job on the video Buck.
The Skipper comes off rough and tough at times and the Professor too intellectual. Gilligan is the sweet, sensitive one. I forgot about his hero acts. Nice job.
Gilligan is a hero in my book. I love the way he always sticks up for the Skipper like when he decided not to go to the Howell's party when the Skipper's invitation was accidentally lost in front of their hut.
I always appreciated the fact that when all the other castaways tried to take a big bag of gold with them (even the professor who told them about the weight limit on the raft in the first place), Gilligan is the only one who didn't try to take any gold. :)
I remember when I read Gilligan's Island was cancelled, not due to poor ratings, but in order to make a slot available for Gunsmoke. What a lousy, sticking deal that was!
Still enjoy this show. Sherry, glad you did another video with Gilligan. His character is often seen as one sided and there is a lot to him. He represents a lot of us, trying to do good and messing up.
Isn't it amazing how Little Buddy's red shirt always gets ripped to shreds, 3:23 but the very next episode and even the next scene his red shirt is always clean , pressed and looks brand new no worse for wear.
The Skipper may want to give Gilligan a little more credit. I do like his comment to Gilligan though........"Gilligan's the only one I know who can snatch defeat out of the mouth of victory."
I love how no matter how many times Gilligan messes things up for the others, when he does something right/saves the others/saves the day, they greatly praise and reward him
Great video!✨ Gilligan is definitely underrated in his good qualities! I love the one where he writes a diary and it’s causing trouble so he throws it into the lagoon. Everyone hates him for it, until it washes up and they hear all the wonderful things he really thinks about them!
Gilligan was an unselfish character who often acted blindly. He was a hero, but I can't forget hhis screw ups. Especially with the jet pack. I still get pissed watching that one.
Sound of Quacking, season 1: Gilligan kept the duck alive when the others wanted to eat it for dinner. They were short of food and thought the plants were poisonous until the duck ate the plants. The professor then determined the plants were okay to eat and the day was saved by little ole Gilligan.
Gilligan was a good guy overall despite his screw ups. He usually got in trouble when he tried too hard. Too bad for the Skipper who got the brunt of most of it.
Gilligan was a good guy deep down. I always thought he was more sensitive and feeling than the Skipper. As for the Professor, he was a nerd and Mr. Howell was always looking after himself and his empire.
I like the way the Skipper is protective of his little buddy. Nice assemble of episodes. Glad for your videos as I can't find Gilligan's Island on TV where I live. They used to show it everyday, but that was at least a year ago.
Sherwood Swartz was the biggest hero of this show. What he went through to get this show on the air, and to keep it there, was short of a miracle! I do agree Gilligan showed heroic qualities at times. Nice assemble.
I'm only twenty and have been watching Gilligan's Island and star trek for my whole life, I actually just said something to my family about the black and white episodes and the theme song leaving out the hottest character 😶
Gilligan was heroic when he asked the Skipper to punch him in the mouth to become a radio again; however we all know how that ended. Right as the Skipper goes for the punch Gilligan moves away from the tree to ask Mr Howell a question and the Skipper hits the tree full force. Thanks Gilligan!!!!
A lot of times Gilligan got it right and the Skipper ignored him. Like the time he tried to signal the Skipper that the bank robber guest was up to no good when the Skipper wanted the radio and the news was being aired at that time about him. That was with guest star Larry Storch.
It's amusing that Gilligan can mess up efforts to be rescued from the island, and at the same time, save the castaway's sorry asses. I still ponder why I like this show when everything about it is so insanely ridiculous.
Hadn't really thought of Gilligan as the island hero, but can't dispute all these right on clips. Wonder if the Skipper ever saved the day. Can't recall.
I liked the way the skipper treated gilligan as his little buddy where as mrs. Howell rich snobbishness she showed him mr howell indifferent and ginger even maryann into themselves and the professor into his science world skipper always had gilligans back
What about the episode where Gilligan saves this young native woman and then she becomes Gilligan's slave. Everyone on the is,and is so jealous and then Gilligan has to fight for her. I don't know the name of the show but another good one.
PennyCooper1985 I remember that show. It was funny how everyone was envious of Gilligan having his own personal slave. Gilligan was the only one who didn't want a slave.😍
Gilligan saved the day with the lightening rod that slipped from his hands in the storm, hit the meteor and dissolved it. The castaways then escaped premature old age. How did the writers ever come up with these far out ideas. The episode was Meet the Meteor.
Ski Flyer27, I had that clip in my video but took it out as I thought the video was already too long. That was a good scene and I wanted to include it.
Gilligan was the smartest of the men on the island not to pick one of the lovely women in the beauty contest. The island is too small for female rivalry.
I also still remember when I first saw a silver mylar made school binder sticker in the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk casino. It was found on the vending machine glass display case. This school binder sticker showed Popeye fascinating an attractive young blonde hair crystal blue eye young woman in her swimwear. "Well, blow me down." Popeye always has a habit of saying that. Olive oil was going to hit Popeye with a rowboat ore, just for fascinating this blonde hair crystal blue eye woman down on the beach. He was definitely cheating on Olive oil. I once fantasized about Willie Gilligan going up against Popeye. Since Nintendo first had the 1982 video arcade game machine version of Popeye. I also emphasized on Kermit the frog uttering the same thing Popeye utters. Thus, he cheats on Miss Piggy just by fascinating the attractive looking young woman. The same thing he utters is, well, blow me down. I also fantasized about Miss Piggy hit Kermit the frog with a square shovel. 🐸 ⛱️ ☂️ 🏖 🌊 ⛱️ 👱🏻♀️ 👸 👱♂️ 🔮 🎰 😎 😀 😄 👌 😅 🎰
OK NOW YEAH THE SHOW MADE NO SENSE yada yada yada BUT THE US GOVERNMENT DID NOT CHECK ON THE ATOMIC EXPLOSION?????????????????????????????????????????? yea just a TV show
This world needs more heroes. Way to go Gilligan.
I like the Skipper and Gilligan together. They were a good contrast.
Good presentation.........Gilligan had his good moments. He was not the smartest kid on the block but he had a big heart.
I would say the character of Gilligan is unselfish, kind and loving. That makes for a hero. I wonder if Bob Denver ever knew when he took this role that he would be so famous well past his departure from this world.
What stands out the most for me is when Mary Ann fell on the stage after imitating Ginger from The Two Ginger Grants episode. The other men just sat there and Gilligan sprang up, ran to Mary Ann and helped her off the stage. Maybe saying he was a hero then is a bit stretched but what a gentleman. Lol
I loved it when Gilligan ran over to the stage to help Maryann up when she thought she was Ginger and was singing and dancing.
Gilligan was a sweet character and his kindness led him to some heroic acts. I think Sherwood used his character to teach kindness and unselfish behavior. Good job on the video Buck.
Ms. Castaway "Gladys" native monkey
The Skipper comes off rough and tough at times and the Professor too intellectual. Gilligan is the sweet, sensitive one. I forgot about his hero acts. Nice job.
I've been watching this show for 50+ years...and I still love it! Thanks for posting!
Oh no, a gorilla beats out Ginger, Mary Ann and Lovey in the beauty contest. One of my fav episodes for sure. Thanks Buck.
Gilligan is a hero in my book. I love the way he always sticks up for the Skipper like when he decided not to go to the Howell's party when the Skipper's invitation was accidentally lost in front of their hut.
I liked the beauty contest. Gilligan was the only one of the men that knew it would be unfair to pick one woman over another.
Occasionally Gilligan showed intelligence
So he picked Gladys unbiased
Thanks Buck for sharing the best side of Gilligan.
I always appreciated the fact that when all the other castaways tried to take a big bag of gold with them (even the professor who told them about the weight limit on the raft in the first place), Gilligan is the only one who didn't try to take any gold. :)
That is so true Aileil
Aileil you are so right. I liked that scene as well.
Gilligan is my hero since he is the star of the show and I love it.
The 1960’s and 70’s had a bunch of great sitcoms. Today we have a few great ones like Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory.
I remember when I read Gilligan's Island was cancelled, not due to poor ratings, but in order to make a slot available for Gunsmoke. What a lousy, sticking deal that was!
Still enjoy this show. Sherry, glad you did another video with Gilligan. His character is often seen as one sided and there is a lot to him. He represents a lot of us, trying to do good and messing up.

😄
Gilligan was kind and heroic when he refused to go to the Howell’s party when they thought the Howells left the Skipper out and didn’t invite him.
The Skipper may want to give Gilligan a little more credit. I do like his comment to Gilligan though........"Gilligan's the only one I know who can snatch defeat out of the mouth of victory."
I really enjoyed the one called Water, Water Everywhere when Gilligan followed the frog to water. He saved the day alright.
I love how no matter how many times Gilligan messes things up for the others, when he does something right/saves the others/saves the day, they greatly praise and reward him
Love this show and watched it with my Mom in the 70’s. I think my mom had a crush on the Professor.
Great video!✨ Gilligan is definitely underrated in his good qualities!
I love the one where he writes a diary and it’s causing trouble so he throws it into the lagoon. Everyone hates him for it, until it washes up and they hear all the wonderful things he really thinks about them!
Very good episode selections, some of my favorites.
The three amigos: Skipper, Gilligan and the professor are so patriotic in their red, white and blue.
Patriotic? To what?
Gilligan was an unselfish character who often acted blindly. He was a hero, but I can't forget hhis screw ups. Especially with the jet pack. I still get pissed watching that one.
Gilligan's Island is still smokin hot. My grandsons love it like I did and my four kids.
Sound of Quacking, season 1: Gilligan kept the duck alive when the others wanted to eat it for dinner. They were short of food and thought the plants were poisonous until the duck ate the plants. The professor then determined the plants were okay to eat and the day was saved by little ole Gilligan.
A grand ole show!
Gilligan was a good guy overall despite his screw ups. He usually got in trouble when he tried too hard. Too bad for the Skipper who got the brunt of most of it.
Still. Love this show
Wonderful video that shows why we love Gilligan.
Gilligan was a good guy deep down. I always thought he was more sensitive and feeling than the Skipper. As for the Professor, he was a nerd and Mr. Howell was always looking after himself and his empire.
I like the way the Skipper is protective of his little buddy. Nice assemble of episodes. Glad for your videos as I can't find Gilligan's Island on TV where I live. They used to show it everyday, but that was at least a year ago.
Gilligan, my hero.
Fabulous show.
gilligan always in the end is always the hero ! great video !
Sherwood Swartz was the biggest hero of this show. What he went through to get this show on the air, and to keep it there, was short of a miracle! I do agree Gilligan showed heroic qualities at times. Nice assemble.
Every once in a 🐳 the Skipper’s little buddy did something right!
LOL, Gilligan allowed the Skipper to bet his services over to Thurston Howell in the turtle show.
I love that line "Gilligan, for a guy who always does dumb things, when you do something smart, it's beautiful!"
I'm only twenty and have been watching Gilligan's Island and star trek for my whole life, I actually just said something to my family about the black and white episodes and the theme song leaving out the hottest character 😶
Gilligan was a goofball, but a sweet kid.
Awesome comedy.
A definite unlikely hero.
I used to think the Skipper was the hero of Gilligan's Island, but now I have to agree that it's actually the least obvious...Gilligan!
Too bad Gilligan's Island didn't go past three seasons?
X-cellent Thank you much
Gilligan was heroic when he asked the Skipper to punch him in the mouth to become a radio again; however we all know how that ended. Right as the Skipper goes for the punch Gilligan moves away from the tree to ask Mr Howell a question and the Skipper hits the tree full force. Thanks Gilligan!!!!

Gilligan is not only a hero. He is also the bravest person on the island.
Gilligan was a sweet character. He is a hero in my book. BUT, he is also a screw up when it comes to getting rescued off the island.
The Skipper is suppose to be the hero but can't think of too many times he saved the day. Hummmmmm
My family loves Gilligan's Island
It's amusing that Gilligan can mess up efforts to be rescued from the island, and at the same time, save the castaway's sorry asses. I still ponder why I like this show when everything about it is so insanely ridiculous.
Hadn't really thought of Gilligan as the island hero, but can't dispute all these right on clips. Wonder if the Skipper ever saved the day. Can't recall.
Gilligan screwed up as many rescues as his heroics. Still a good guy and skippers little buddy.
Aw enjoyed that very much!
Thanks Doris!!
Skipper should show a little more confidence in his little buddy.
I liked the way the skipper treated gilligan as his little buddy where as mrs. Howell rich snobbishness she showed him mr howell indifferent and ginger even maryann into themselves and the professor into his science world skipper always had gilligans back
Sweet
Grow some muscles Gilligan and be a super hero. Lol 💪🏻💪🏻
Once in awhile we get into trouble and you get us into more trouble
What about the episode where Gilligan saves this young native woman and then she becomes Gilligan's slave. Everyone on the is,and is so jealous and then Gilligan has to fight for her. I don't know the name of the show but another good one.
PennyCooper1985 I remember that show. It was funny how everyone was envious of Gilligan having his own personal slave. Gilligan was the only one who didn't want a slave.😍
Entitled "Slave Girl"
3:16 the face he gives them is like “what’d I miss” lmao😂
Excellent comedy.
WHAT, Gilligan a hero???? Okay, I would have to agree. He was also sweet, innocent and unselfish. Too bad he was such a screw up most of the time.
It was cute the way gilligan elected gladys as miss castaway
True friend.
Gilligan has done some good saved them from natives storms
Gilligan saved the day with the lightening rod that slipped from his hands in the storm, hit the meteor and dissolved it. The castaways then escaped premature old age. How did the writers ever come up with these far out ideas. The episode was Meet the Meteor.

Gilligan was the smartest of the men on the island not to pick one of the lovely women in the beauty contest. The island is too small for female rivalry.
I liked when gilligan pretended to be a fire god
Good thing Gilligan had his heroic moments otherwise Skipper may have done him in.
Mary Anne!!! She is a 15 on a scale of 10
👍🤓👍❗❤
Humm, can't think of an episode where the Skipper saved the day. He wasn't the bravest on the island, that's for sure.
Say what you want about about Gilligan, he was very brave.
ITS THE GILLigan
