skipper is on board to ask the next question

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

A popular Broadway musical was referenced by an island visitor after meeting one of the castaways. What was the musical and who was the visitor?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Hint:

Lucky's pal

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Give My Regards to Broadway???

I don't remember the man's name in that ep.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Sorry, no

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Well, the correct answer is "Hello, Dolly!" -- said by Hank (of the Indigo Mob) after meeting Headhunter Ginger, in Little Island Big Gun.

You're on, hsd...for the good guess ☺

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Ohh!! I remember that line! "Hello, Dolly" is my favorite movie.:)

Several times most of castaways have fainted on "Gilligan's Island" except for Professor. Name one episode has the highest numbers of them fainted-- three castaways.

[–] skipper 9 years ago

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

In 'Pass the Vegetables, Please', all six of them fainted when the professor said that eating the radioactive vegetables could be fatal.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Yesterday, I remembered that ep--'Pass the Vegetables, Please' has the highest numbers of fainted castaways. I stand corrected;I planned to tell that after telling one of fans has the right name. But going back that ep in question has the second highest of fainted castaways. It deals with blackest subject--suicide.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Time is up. The answer is 'Agonized Labor'--Howell has planned to kill himself twice and the last time with his wife. Howells and Gilligan have fainted in this ep.

What is the name of episode that resembles a game named 'Clues"??

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

I'll guess 'Not Guilty'

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Guilty as charged!!:)

Ginger as Miss Scarlett, Howells as Mrs. Peacock and Colonial Mustard, Professor as Professor and Mary Ann as Miss or Mrs. White. They acted out their crime scenes in a store to find what weapons they used to kill Blake... too obvious. You win!:)

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Smokey the Bear was mentioned by Mr Howell in 'Waiting for Watubi' and by Gilligan in 'The Second Ginger Grant'. In what other episode was Smokey mentioned, and by whom?

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

I think it was Mr. Howell, but still racking my brain over which episode.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Hint:

"We're supposed to rescue the professor and the skipper..."

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

The correct answer is 'Music Hath Charms'. Before Gilligan explains how he's going to use the fire extinguisher to scare the natives, Mr Howell tells him to "...leave the fires to Smokey the Bear."

Go ahead, gonbaoji

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

In the Second Ginger Grant episode, what liquid refreshment was mentioned?

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

I thought this was pretty easy. HINT- Gilligan mentions it.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Answer-root beer

Same episode..what song was Maryanne singing when she was Ginger and fell down and blacked out?

[–] skipper 9 years ago

I Wanna Be Loved By You?

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Correct

[–] skipper 9 years ago

Why did Mrs. Howell give up on her recitation for the Miss Castaway contest?

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Cause she had a sneezing fit from the pepper the Professor kept blowing at her.

[–] skipper 9 years ago

That's right.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Back to the episode where Maryanne thinks she is Ginger. When Maryanne saw Ginger as herself and fainted, what dress of Gingers was she wearing?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

The one that didn't look as sexy on Mary Ann.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

I would have taken a beige v neck sleeveless...oh well.

Ben feel free to ask the next question.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Only one episode ends with Mrs Howell saying the last words ("Thank you") -- name the episode.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Hint:

Chauffeur Gilligan

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

The correct answer is Ring Around Gilligan. In the last scene, Gilligan picks up the Howells in the bamboo car. After opening the door for Lovey, she says "Thank you", and the three of them drive off -- end of episode.

Next question: Besides the lead pants in Meet the Meteor, and excluding any dream sequences or costume parties, when did we see the professor wearing pants that were very similar to Gilligan's?

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

When he was in the guys band the gnats?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Good guess, gonbaoji...but Professor was wearing his usual pants as a Gnat, and Gilligan had on skin tight ones that were white.

I'm referring to a scene in which the professor wore pants that were very close in style to Gilligan's usual ones. Hint: they were probably close in color too, for the sight gag to work in this 1st season episode.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

The Big Gold Strike where while having a conversation with Gilligan, Mr. Howell is under the impression that Gillgian is able to bend his body in half when he sees his head and feet sticking out from under the raft at the same time and right next to each other. Of course it's actually the Professor's legs and feet he's seeing. A very funny sight gag.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Right, caladon! It's the only time the professor is wearing pants that look similar to Gilligan's in style and (probably) color.

Your turn

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Which female character was compared to a famous male?

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Lovey/Mr. Ed ?

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Nice guess, but not the correct answer.

Here's a hint:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb3GLa2fm5s

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Ah...

Mary Ann/Bob Hope ?

[–] caladon 9 years ago

And we have a winner; In The Second Ginger Grant, Mr. Howell described Mary Ann's walk as being like Bob Hope's. Well done benGsboat. Over to you.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Thanks caladon

In what two episodes is this same joke used:

Skipper and Gilligan get some good news. Skipper tells Gilligan to go share it with the others. Gilligan runs off, then immediately comes back to ask "What good news?"

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Hints:

In both episodes, the professor was there with Gilligan and Skipper

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

You Have Been Disconnected and Gilligan's Mother-In-Law??

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

One of those is correct, hsd

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Time's up, fellas

The correct answers are You've Been Disconnected (the telephone cable) and The Kidnapper (Wiley's boat).

Next question: In several episodes, Skipper had mishaps with coconuts (usually because of Gilligan). In what episode was it actually the professor who dropped coconuts on the skipper's foot?

[–] skipper 9 years ago

Not Guilty?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

No, but good guess. Professor guillotined some coconuts, but didn't drop any on Skipper's foot.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Hint: we learned of a certain castaway's allergy in this episode

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Hmm, time's up again.

The correct answer is Nyet Nyet, Not Yet. Professor dropped the coconuts on Skipper's foot when he first saw the cosmonauts (he also later mentioned that he was allergic to alcohol).

Well, next question: When did we see Gilligan goose Mrs Howell? (hint: it wasn't with his hand)

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Castaway Pictures Presents

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Righto, hot! When G was dressed as Chaplin he tapped Mr Howell in the stomach and poked Lovey in the bum. Natalie clearly jumped and laughed, so Bob may have improvised it.

Your turn ☺

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Thank you,ben!! Your question was the one I planned to ask in the future, but it is okay. That is why it was easy for me to answer.

Yes, I agree that Bob and the whole cast improvised their lines or acts here and there. Take for an instance, in 'Not Guilty", the lines between the cast in the store sound so improvised and there is 'The Producers', Bob and Tina keep blocking each other on stage to us for us to laugh at them. 'Castaway Pictures Presents" mocks 'Gilligan's Island' and the actors who badmouthed that show.

The cast on 'Gilligan's Island' has weight problems. Bob gained some weight in second and third season and Tina lost weight in 'The Invasion' dramatically to look like she has been in the camp during WW II. Name one member of the cast has gained so much weight in the last episode called ' Bang! Bang! Bang!' that the clothes don't fit any more.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Alrighty, time is up!! In 'Bang! Bang! Bang!' Russell Johnson is very fat and his Professor's clothes can't fit him anymore. It seems he is playing pattycake with a woman who has plenty of time on her hands and passion for cooking food. I sincerely doubt it is his wife, Kay Cousins, who has her hands full raising two Russell's kids, David and Kim.

Next question: What episode did Ginger asks Mary Ann to wake her next time men are chasing Mary Ann and Ginger wanted to be part of the action. Mary Ann did that.:)

[–] caladon 9 years ago

The Postman Cometh

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

To use your words: And we have a winner; well done, caladon!!:)

Your turn.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Thank you.

In the episode "Court Martial" what factual error does the Professor state?

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Time for a hint:

re-enacting it doesn't change it.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

According to the professor, Skipper did "everything" right during the storm. He couldn't possibly have known that unless he heard and saw everything that went on.

Assuming that he did, recreating the events as they happened would be unnecessary to prove Skipper wasn't at fault. P should have already known that Gilligan was to blame.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Excellent points, but not the correct answer.

Hint #2 - High and dry.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Could you mean shipwrecked on an island??

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Professor said the Minnow sunk which we know it didn't.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

You got it gonbaoji; well done. The Professor said "recreate the sinking of the Minnow." The Minnow didn't sink at all.

Over to you.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

From the same episode and an easy one. What was the first way Skipper tried to kill himself?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

quicksand

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Having sex with Mrs. Howell to induce an heart attack??

Just kidding, folk! Seriously, he tried to hang himself with noose he fashioned from jungle vines with Gilligan and Gilligan nearly killed him by assisting Skipper.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

If not the vines, then it must be the cliff--specifically jumping off the cliff into sea.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Correct...hanging first.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Court-Martial is a weird story--it starts out with Skipper is having problems and then the story changes from Skipper to Gilligan having dream that has nothing to with Skipper's problems, but then third season is weird--we get women cover up their cleavage and belly... and Ginger is not very glamorous...then we have Howells stop joking about rich people. I know Sherwood has left to run a new program, but I wonder who ran that show to make the ratings to plummet.

Time for trivial--I think it is unusual for cast members to look at camera during dream part, but one of cast member does. Who is that cast member?

[–] caladon 9 years ago

I remember in the dream sequence from "Meet The Meteor," the Skipper looking at the camera after he makes the comment about the cane getting heavier because Gilligan was getting older.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Righto!

In additional, there is 'Postman Cometh", Ginger looks at the camera after replying to Professor saying "Oh yes! We have time for Tom, Harry, and Dick". I wish to know what is meaning of Tom, Harry, Dick. Gilligan flirts with Ginger making kissing face at her. Also, when Mary Ann describes men to Ginger and Lovey. Both women smile at camera.
😁
Over to you.

[–] ghostfan 9 years ago

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about the phrase Tom, Dick and Harry:

The phrase "Tom, Dick and Harry" is a placeholder for multiple unspecified people; "Tom, Dick or Harry" plays the same role for one unspecified person.[1][2] The phrase most commonly occurs as "every Tom, Dick and Harry", meaning everyone, and "any Tom, Dick or Harry", meaning anyone, although Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable defines the term to specify "a set of nobodies; persons of no note".[3]

The phrase is so old, nobody knows where it originated.

Anyway, the joke is the Professor says "We don't have time for Tom-Foolery (fooling around) and Ginger responds with "I have time for Tom... Dick and Harry Foolery, too... kind of a play on words.

Incidentally, the Tom, Dick and Harry line was used with great success as a song in the musical Kiss Me Kate, and Ginger Rogers (remember her?) Was in a movie by that name... she was dating three guys named Tom, Dick and Harry, and trying to decide which she should marry. I can't remember his character name, but she ended up with Burgess Meridith, who played one of the three guys.

How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Thank you, ghostfan, for replying.

Yes, I remember Ginger Rogers. I am a fan of old movies.:)😃

I would like to know why Skipper as Matt Dillion can't tell the difference between the bed post and her leg when he feels her up. And why Professor wears a robe without shirt and a scarf that implies he is nude underneath. Plus Gilligan has a moustache that has two straight lines from it.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

What one specific thing makes Mary Ann stand apart from the other castaways?

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

She's the shortest? Or she always has a suntan?

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Nice guess, but not the correct answer.

Hint: It's a easy as A,B,C.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Only Mary Ann has a last name that doesn't begin with G or H.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Absolutely correct; from a alphabetical point of view, Mary Ann stands alone. Well done benGsboat; over to you.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Thanks caladon

There are two episodes in which the professor begins a complicated explanation of something with "Using the deductive form of reasoning..." Both times, he claims it's easy to understand, and both times he gets the reply "Easy for you, difficult for me."

'You've Been Disconnected' is one; what's the other?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Hint: even the radio was missing

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Time's up

The correct answer is 'Forget Me Not'. Gilligan says "Easy for you, difficult for me" after hearing the professor's reasoning about the missing gun, ammo, and radio. Skipper says the same thing with a Mexican accent in 'YBD'.

Next question: 'The Big Gold Strike' and 'Voodoo' have something in common that is not seen in any other episode -- what is it?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Hint: all 7 castaways

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

They were all in the lagoon together at the same time.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

correct

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

In 'Seer Gilligan.' what was Maryann thinking about when Gilligan read her mind?

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

ice cream sundae

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

To be specific- a double chocolate malted with whipped cream. Gilligan added a cherry on top to the image.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Correct

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

TA-DA! It is trivial time!

As you all know that Ginger plays shrink two times in 'Seer Gilligan' and 'The Kidnapper' and she appears in same smock in 'V for Vitamin'. She wears those glasses and hair in bun that resembles a certain superheroes named Diana Prince as Wonder Woman. Perhaps it is really a homage to Diana Prince and Wonder Woman. Mrs. Howell also played shrink twice, but it is not homage to Wonder Woman

Those glasses of Ginger are missing some things. What are they?

[–] skipper 9 years ago

Lenses?

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Bingo! You are up!:)

I see those Ginger's glasses and noticed no lenses on it! Of course, Tina can see well without glasses.

[–] skipper 9 years ago

In Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow when Gilligan thought that he was aging rapidly, what did he will to the Professor?

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

His body.

[–] skipper 9 years ago

That's right.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

What kind of fish was Irving?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Guitarfish? Specifically, a Bass Guitarfish 😀

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

I like that answer but no.

Clue,,,starts with a t.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

tuna fish?

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

No sorry..

Even though it should have been a salt water fish, it wasn't.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Then it is a Tubfish??

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Uh no..

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Trout ??

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Correct

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Which episode used voice-overs to tell us what three castaways were thinking?

[–] caladon 9 years ago

"Diogenes Won't You Please Go Home?" Skipper, Mr. Howell & Ginger

IIRC this also happened in "Not Guilty" - Skipper and Gilligan.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

"Diogenes, Won't You Please Go Home?" but I'll give it to ya anyway 😉

FYI this also happened in "Ship Ahoax" and "Operation: Steam Heat" - Professor

You're on, caladon!

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Oops. Thanks ben, I've made the correction.

Well, onto the next question:

Which Castaway put their right shoe on their left foot and why?

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

The Professor in "'Erika Tiffany Smith to the Rescue'; he was flustered by her interest in him that cause him to put wrong shoe on wrong foot in the morning until Mary Ann pointed out his error.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Bullseye hotsummerday, right on target.

Over to you.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Thanks, caladon.:)

There are times Ginger looks at camera for a few seconds or longer than few seconds and she also gives a knowingly smile that says" Here we go again" and looks at camera before she seduces Gilligan.

All right, name two episodes Ginger breaks fourth wall and talks directly to you, the audiences.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

And Then There Were None -- in the dream sequence while she's on the witness stand.

Beauty Is as Beauty Does -- during her speech and song.

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

Negative to 'And Then There None', but I don't blame you thinking that. Ginger on witness stand makes it looking like she is talking to audience.

Confirmative on 'Beauty is as Beauty Does'. She makes hilarious many "Thank You" speeches to the camera. No- she does not sing to camera.

Hint: I am currently reading a Stephen King's book called 'Tommyknockers' and it has one element in common with episode where she talks to camera.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Ring Around Gilligan ?

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

None-- Move up a little farther up to earlier eps. Can someone check out the book to find what foes' abilities are in "Tommyknockers'"?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

I'll go with 'Seer Gilligan' -- the mind reading episode

p.s. Ginger looks right at the camera when she says "Anchovy pizza with peanut butter pepperoni" in the Jekyll and Hyde dream. Check it out, at 1:56

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79LSG9ev8xg

[–] hotsummerday 9 years ago

You are spot on. Of course, it is 'Seer Gilligan', the telepathy ep where Ginger was asked why she did not read Gilligan's mind last night by Mr. Howell. She and Mary Ann look disappointedly at camera and Ginger says,"It didn't work" without giving farther explanation as to why not.

The book I am reading is about ghosts of telepathy aliens who crash landed on earth before humans were born and they controlled live humans.

What made you think of 'Seer Gilligan" without consulting the Internet about 'The Tommyknockers"??

P.S. I trust your words about Ginger talks to camera in 'And There None'. I will look at it later. Thank you for information.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Just a wild guess, hsd 😉

And you're welcome!

Next question: Two castaways did not see (nor talk to) this island visitor, and vice versa. Who are the castaways and who is the visitor?

[–] skipper 9 years ago

Ginger and Mary Ann and Mr. Howell's imposter?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Righto, skipper!

You're on 😊

[–] 9 years ago

[deleted]

[–] skipper 9 years ago

When Ginger was giving Gilligan a word association test in Seer Gilligan, what was his response to "boy"?

[–] caladon 9 years ago

"oh" and later "atta"

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] skipper 9 years ago

That's right.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Which cast member appeared in a film as a bubble dancer?

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Hint #1 - Their performance was considered a victory.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Hint #2 - Probably the least one you'd suspect.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

Well since we have no takers, we'll move on to a new question:

BTW, the answer was Alan Hale. He appeared in a WWII film short called Victory Quiz where he played a bubble dancer; however in this instance a bubble dancer referred to someone washing dishes while on KP.

New question:

Name two titles of Lord Beasley's books.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Butterfly and I, Things with wings.

[–] caladon 9 years ago

And we have a winner; well done.

Over to you gonbaoji.

Jesus is the Son of God and my Lord and savior. Pretty cool.

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

BTW, the answer was Alan Hale. He appeared in a WWII film short called Victory Quiz where he played a bubble dancer

That may rank as the most obscure trivia in the history of GI. Hard to believe no one got it 😀

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

"Where are you?" "Right behind you." Who said this and why?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Skipper asked "Where are you?" and Gilligan answered "Right behind you" when S thought he had reached someone on the transmitter.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Correct

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

Besides 'So Sorry My Island Now', name an episode where Gilligan suspects a sea monster is on the island.

[–] skipper 9 years ago

All About Eva?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

That's right, skipper. When he saw her shoeprints.

Your turn

[–] skipper 9 years ago

Why did Gilligan go into the cave where he encountered the bat that bit him?

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

To retrieve coconuts that had spilled out and went into the cave.

[–] skipper 9 years ago

That's right.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Same episode...who else did the bat bite?

[–] benGsboat 9 years ago

No one else, just Gilligan.

[–] gonbaoji 9 years ago

Correct
