What our customer's say!

"How could you not???", My kids had never seen a single episode of Gilligan, thus this purchase! Classic TV for the latest generation!!! Black and White...crisp and clear...and all of my children have the theme song memorized.

""fun family fare" - 1964", In Sherwood Schwartz's interesting commentary, we hear that the idea was to present a "micocrosm" of society, odd couples if you will, forced to get along or perish, on an isolated spot in the Pacific. I always thought it was what Desi Arnaz said in a TV Guide article. It was about "a couple of sexy girls on an island".
Well, thanks, partner. That's what got me going in 1964 and got be buying this DVD-set. Funny, at age 57, it isn't "Mary Ann or Ginger", it was "Mrs. Howell".
Dawn Wells had Daisy Dukes before Catherine Bach! Or is it that Bach had "Mary Ann"(s). Either way, she was/is still way hot.
Gotta feel a little bad about Tina Louise, who expressed early on her disatisfaction with the show. As I recall, she said in an interview at vthe time, that the show was "like a cartoon"...not to be taken seriously. I may be wrong, but I believe she has never attended a G. I> convention.
The Series pilot, with different Mary Ann(s) and Ginger(s) was actually pretty good. I don't recall who was who, but the wisecracking Secretary and her [apparent] co-worker were very telegenic...and it's tough to say, but the show could have sustained with the originals, who brought in a bit more "realism". Ginger was all Marilyn Monroe. The Brunette was a New Yorker in temperment..would have traveled through time alot easier than "Ginger Grant".
Schwartz says, in effect, he created a great show with characters the equivalnet if Laurel and Hardy, Monroe, whoever. By the way, I'm surprised he didn't admit to referencing the first "Fat and Skinny"s final movie shot in France, 1950-51, involving a bunch of folks stranded on on atoll and including a glamorous model/singer, Suzie DeLair. If Schwartz didn't have that in mind...I'll eat my derby!
All episodes have a good story and some surprisingly clever dialogue. Guess I was too busy at the time, waiting for Mary Ann to climb a tree.
Interesting that Ida Lupino directed some of these black and white shows, though one was perhaps the very worst of the entire series: to force the Skipper to fall asleep to have his recurring dream about a World War II incident in which he managed, heroically, to turn a radio receiver into a transmitter, the residents use Mr. Howell's sleeping pills very carelessly and we are supposed to laugh when The Skipper passes out. I'm actually surprised that bit was left in the show, considering that children were obviously a big demographic for the show.
A better entry is "Wrong Way Feldman" with Hans Conried - his plane from the '30s is discovered by Gilligan, then the pilot shows up. Alot of wild business, resulting in "Wrong Way" returning home successfully. Too bad, he (characteristically) couldn't figure out his own coordinates, to send a rescue team back.
A nice episode called "President Gilligan" has some witty satire (and again recalls "Atoll K" with L & H: a great scene in that crazy flick also involves an "Election", though Hardy is victorious).
Jim Backus hd the best lines and delivered them in style; sometimes reminiscent of W. C. Fields, probably another childhood idol of Sherwood Schwartz.
Despite the huge success, not all the critics were wrong. There was alot of lame material not helped by that laughtrack. Gilligan trips on a rope...gales of laughter.
Good DVD quality and good packaging.


"Welcome Home", 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.

"Gilligan's Island the complete first season", 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.

"Wonderful Show", 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)!!

"Gilligan's Island - The Complete First Season ", I loved it. Great memories. I like the show even better now that I'm older. An all new perspective, the episodes are funnier now than they ever were. I only wish they went for more than 3 seasons, (all the seasons are great DVD's also).

"Gilligan's Island Season 1", I have been watching Gilligan's Island for many years, and although I have seen all the episodes, I am never tired of watching an episode one more time. Every time I watch Gilligan's Isle I laugh a lot, because each and every episode is so funny. I love comedies, and this certainly is one. I really recomend it to anyone who is a lover of comedy. Although the episodes were made a while ago, I love to watch them. They can be family movies, or movies you watch while doing something else - you can watch them in any situation. I can't wait until I buy the next 2 seasons of Gilligan's Island, and I recomend them as well.

"We love Gilligan!", I bought this for my brother, a true Gilligan's Island fan. He loves it!

"Stranded on Gilligan Land... and Loving It", After I had acquired the last season of "Gilligan's Island", I sat down for three days and watched everything Gilligan.

Spoken like a true underdog, I sympathized with Gilligan's antics. Although sweet and well-meaning, Gilligan can't seem to get his act together, especially when it comes to being rescued. Whether he's just botched up one of the Professor's experiments or frightened one of the potential rescuers away, it's a wonder after all of this and the Skipper's brow-beating why Gilligan hadn't resigned himself to the other side of the island. Ever optimistic, Gilligan is like the happy boy at Christmastime whose spirit cannot break easily.

Gilliagn's faithful confidante is his old buddy, the Skipper, who is like a father, and is a mentor and a friend to him. There is nothing that Gilligan wouldn't do for his Skipper. Picture the eccentric million/billionaires, Thurston and Lovey Howell, as the King and Queen of England, scoffing at the thought of doing menial labor yet reluctantly pitching in to lend a helping hand and provide comic relief. Ever wonder what a famous actress would end up like in a deserted island? Apparently, like one of the bunch. In the first season, Ginger dresses more shabbier than Mary Ann, than gradually begins to acquire a bigger and better wardrobe. How DID the girls manage to find all of the materials to make all of their clothes? Weren't the members all going on a three hour tour? In any case, no one can deny the chemistry between Ginger and the Profesor or the never-to-be budding romance between Mary Ann and Gilligan. Speaking of the Professor, he was so knowledgeable as to figure out how to stop a volcano from erupting and how to make a florescent dye out of materials found on the island, yet he was never effectively able to conjure up an experiment or product to get them off of the island. As the series progresses, it appeared that it was the Professor's intentions to actually stay on the island. What a blow that discovery would have been for the rest of the Minnow passengers and crew.

Although only a three hour tour, this series went on for three years (another twelve years were off-camera). And for fifteen years, these characters learned to laugh, love and live with each other like a real family. Kooky characters and all.

"It's Gilligan, baby!", Gilligan's Island - The Complete First Season is awesome and worth every penny. The first season has some great and classic episodes incluing: Big Gun Little Island, A Nose by Any Other Name, Angel on the Island, Diamonds are an Ape's Best Friend, and Birds Gotta Fly Fish Gotta Talk. Bob Denver was a true talent, his physical comedy and facial expressions still warm my heart to this day. This season is in black and white and the picture quality is fabulous and yes the all episodes are uncut! I also recommend seasons two and three but you must start with season 1, a instant and utter treasure, enjoy!
