If you think the island is sinking, ask anyone FIRST if they have messed with your measuring/depth stick

read the outside of any box before planting those damn seeds...

instead of making a movie, use the film to send a message that you are the survivors of the Minnow...

If you're close to sending a message or contacting someone who can rescue you, quickly send Gilligan to the other side of the island to look for icebergs.

If someone is on the island and refuses to shoot off his flare gun until he's found his butterfly, knock him down and take it anyway. You can always apologize later.

don't tell Gilligan to look out for a boat because when a helicopter comes by HE WON'T SAY ANYTHING since he knows the difference between a boat and a helicopter!

When a rock group lands on the island...GIVE THEM THEIR PEACE AND QUIET.

Don't try and make your own fillings for cavities.

If an arrogant producer lands on the island and starts barking orders because he promises to take you back to civilization when his friends show up; tell him to keep his big mouth shut and just take the motor powered rubber raft in which he arrived.

If you're on a mad scientist's island and it's obvious that he lives in a mansion and has frequent contact with civilization for food, equipment, electrical contracting, etc.----stay there! Someone who can rescue you will show up soon. In the meantime, the mad scientist and his assistant are trapped in the bodies of a dog and a cat and you have free run of the place. It's a good permanent structure, more than large enough for all the castaways and there are obviously steaks in the freezer. But, most of all, there was a transmitter somewhere in that house! ;)

Apparently everyone does have a lookalike.

Lagoons are natural magnets for crates or any items lost overboard.

Natives can build outrigger canoes better than castaways can build rafts.

A jungle boy, a lost aviator and a eccentric painter can live on a small island and never see each other. Hmm, I wonder if the jungle boy could've been either Wrongway's or Dubov's son.

And also, if you are rich, slum it big time on the 3 hour tour.

If you think the island is sinking (even though it's not, because you were too dumb to ask anyone if they messed with your depth stick) please tell the ladies...they are strong, they can take it...don't treat them like they are going to panic...you never know, they might come up with an idea abt how to get the huts to the highest point on the island...:rolleyes:

As we learned from imposters for Gilligan, Mr. Howell and if that wasn't enough Ginger....ANYBODY can be an EVIL TWIN!!!

Sexual advances by hot women don't work on Head Hunters.

Anybody that comes to visit you that has a boat immedietely beat the crap out of..and take the boat.

Going long periods of time without Citrus Fruits can be worse for you than smoking

That being stuck on a desert island with two beautiful women oddly enough doesn't make you horney.

And being stuck on an island gives you plenty of peculiar nightmares.

And Gilligan's one true love in life's name is "Herman"!!

When making an SOS sign with tree logs, make sure Gilligan is waaaaay on the other side of the island.

Don't bother making homemade bleach for your clothes when you are the only 7 people on the island and the stuff makes your hair fall out.

Tree monkeys love causing explosions.

It's not at all improbable that each and every castaway both knew Randolph Blake and had strong motive to kill him-------all coincidently took the same charter boat tour the next day, and none of them were actually guilty.

That it's possible for a surfer to ride a wave for FIVE days in a standing posion while maintaining his ballance without food, water, or sleep. And then ride the same wave back.

That a parrot came remember something it heard 50 years ago, and remember where it's crackers are buried, and that they would not be stale.

That three people, Dubov, Wrongway Feldman, and the jungle boy, can live for many years on a small island and never ( as far as we know) meet.

If you're stranded on an island and someone visits the island, they will always be able to leave, but you won't, and they will always do a radio show when they get back.

Ignorant native savages have the knowledge to build boats to get them from their island to yours, but a professor with six degrees can't.

This is getting fun!

I don't have the DVDs, but I kind of remember that episode...

By any chance, was the girl to which Mary Ann's ex-boyfriend got engaged anyone famous? Maybe it was a 'newsworthy' item because of HER?

Of course, maybe her ex-boyfriend became famous because he used to date MARY ANN(!)...

I'm sure I'D be pretty famous in MY town if I used to date the one and only Mary Ann (!) :loveya::loveya::loveya:

As long as Gilligan is on the island, you will never get rescued.

Ginger's formal dresses somehow manage to stay in perfect condition.

Radioactive food is great in the beginning (great eyesight, muscle strenght)...but just wait for the bad news.

Typhoons will bring in telephone cables and you can make a funny ass phone.

Your world will be black and white and then later, you will be seen in color.

If you are rich enough, you don't have to do a stitch of work. Being rich and loaded on a desert island is a plus.

If you are taken to a mad scientist's mansion, better to stay there and figure out how to get help then to leave with the boat BACK TO THE ISLAND! That mansion had plenty of supplies, water and food I am sure.
