Except that in the early episodes, everyone stayed in one big hut, until they had squabbles that led to separate living quarters. Only the first few episodes had any semblance of continuity. Oh, and the Japanese soldier episodes needed to be seen in order for reasonable context-- when The...

There's local opt-out programming that can take precedence, as well. I recall an incident around 1998 where an East Coast CBS exec was refused VIP tickets for The Letterman Show. As a result, we got treated to Howie Mandel instead of Letterman for a full week as retaliation. Though I made my...

Colorization of black and white photography just never works right, even going back to the olden days of hand-tinting b&w stills. Short clips of films can get dern close to being passable if done with care, as in the case of some Doctor Who episodes that had small sections from recovered from...

Youngsters! Lulz!! I never saw any show consistently in color until 1980. Our folks kept the only color tv in their bedroom and we had the Zenith b&w console in the main sitting room. For Gilligan, I had the whole colorized 1st series on archive dot org, alongside the unedited vhs releases...

Ideal, then, for a Warner Archive release. Do all three uncut in one complete set as originally shown (like the first one that was in two parts on separate nights), and ain't it about time?!!

Not always, as in the case of "Take a Dare", as seen from my 1967 network 16mm print (also the source of the third season theme audio from earlier in the thread): Sometimes the Wells/Johnson credit was flop-flipped, and other visuals, like a zoom-in on the Minnow vs. no zoom, a still shot of...

For the first one, maybe. Depending upon which generation of element used, filters may not have been applied-- I'm thinking of the dvd release of Wonder Woman, there, where day-for-night shots didn't get processed and were just as bright as day! The first shot ends with a fade out which, even...

The 1080p streaming versions certainly look nice and are in the original aspect ratio, and show slightly more picture information in the frame than the dvd versions. I made my own Bd-r set using those. Only thing is the opening credits for Season 2 & 3 looks like they have been over-scrubbed...

Won't be getting over today's sad news for a long while, if ever. Not a good day and not a good year. Looking back on this thread I see that, due to technical difficulties, the Season 3 theme disappeared from my Youtube and post from a while back. I have re-posted it for all 2 of you who...

Will never forget. And I've watched Gilligan's Island so many times.. I feel like I lived there.

My own print of "Take A Dare" is a United Artists network print (Eastman faded magenta!) from 1967 which opens with the Created and Produced by Sherwood Schwartz credit, and has a seamless transition (no splice) into the original Season 3 opening theme after the cold open tease. Pretty sure the...

It was there prior to Gilligan, but got facelifted, blacktopped, concreted and re-dressed as necessary. Gunsmoke The Rifleman Wanted.. Dead or Alive McHale's Navy It's About Time Get Smart!(It is the entrance to an underground lair that is filled with monkees props and costumes!) The Wild Wild...

It had been suggested that the closing theme for seasons 2 and 3 hand subtle differences. I have compared the two from original 16mm network prints using audio software and found no difference in the arrangement. Without an original print of Meet The Meteor, I can't say for sure, but having the...

It wasn't corrected for the HD releases on Itunes/Amazon. The visual differences between the openings, like the swapped portraits of the Professor and Mary Anne, zoom-in and static shots of the Minnow with and without rippling water, remain. You do get more visual information as the picture is...
