Movie Reviews of Gilligan's Island - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Welcome Home
Summary: 5 Stars
Gilligan's Island was a fun show to watch with strange events for the people trapped on an Island. If you catch an episode on television it is alway a good half hour of fun.
All the charactors try to maintain there normal lives in a situation that is not quite normal. Of course the Professor (Russell Johnson) tries his best to create things to keep things like home with a proper dose of measured seriousness, and to get them home, but it is not quite home if you are millionaires (the Howells, Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer ) or a movie star (Ginger Grant ,Tina Louise ) who always provided many laughs because of trying to maintain what they were.
Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) and the Skipper (Alan Hale) seemed to be the most grounded and of course Gilligan (Bob Denver) with his uncanny ability to thwart attempts to get off the island.
This collection and bonus material brings the entire first season to life and provides insights to the show.
Definate DVD to purchase if you like the older classic shows or Gilligan's Island.
Movie Review: Gilligan's Island the complete first season
Summary: 3 Stars
My grand daughter enjoyed how the shipwreck happened but was not interested anymore of the black and white episodes. I have to admit, after being spoiled with color, that the ones in black and white were not as enjoyable as the ones in color.Movie Review: Wonderful Show
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to watch Gilligan all the time as a child. I was excited to see it released onto DVD. I had never seen any of the Black and White episodes before so season one was a pleasant surprise. The DVD's are double sided and hold a lot of episodes for the price. I think it is great that these older shows are being brought back on DVD so we can see all the episodes- and the lack of commercials only makes it sweeter.
If you liked the show, I highly recommend getting the DVD. Gilligan and the other castaways are very funny. This is much better quality TV than what we are forced to watch on prime time (with 20 minutes of commercial interruptions)!!
Movie Review: Memories...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have these episodes memorized.
The kids love it. I can't stand too many episodes at once, but an occassional one makes me laugh or smile.
First season was definately the best. I wish they would colorize them. Isn't this 2008?
Movie Review: If you loved Gilligan's Island, get this set!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a kid, I loved to watch reruns after school each day of Gilligan's Island. Oh how I wished I could visit with the characters and live in the huts with cool acessories made of bamboo and coconuts! I bought this set (and the other seasons) to bring back those good memories and share them with my daughter. She loves the show and we watch two episodes together at a time. The humor is a welcome relief from the sarcasm, potty-humor, and sexual content that dominates so much of television today. Today's kids still laugh at Gilligan and Skipper being stuck to the side of the Minnow, the duck that won't fly, Wrong Way Feldman, etc.
The pilot episode is a hoot to watch (I am so glad that they changed to the Professor, Mary Ann and Ginger), and the commentary by Sherwood Schwartz is a treasure trove of information.
This is a must-have for anyone who wished that they could be one of the cast-a-ways "here on Gilligan's Isle!"
