Gilligan's Island: 100th episode.
by Blake Randolph.
In a rare move for the time, the producers of Gilligan's Island decided to film a "rescue" episode in case they were not picked up for a third season.
Appropriately titled, "Rescue from Gilligan's Island, the episode has Zsa Zsa Gabor reprising her role as Erika Tiffany Smith. A synopsis of the episode follows.
Erika has been affected by the Skippers charming advances after all, and Johnny, who now realises he hasn't a chance with her, does the noble thing and guides her, and a rescue party, back to the island. The Skipper is still enamored with Ms Smith and is more than happy to pursue a romantic relationship. Back in Honolulu there is a heart warming farewell to each other. The Skipper and Erika sail away on her yacht, Thurston and Lovey are chauffeured away in their limousine, Ginger reveals her affection for the Professor who timidly admits similar feelings and finally, with a devilish wink at the camera, Gilligan takes Mary Ann's hand and they walk off into the sunset together.
The Wellingtons recorded a special end theme for the episode.
This was a tale of the castaways
They were there for a long long time
They had to make the best of things
It was an uphill climb
But they have all been rescued now
They're back home safe and sure
They all survived the shipwreck
Of that fateful 3 hour tour
There's phones, there's lights, there's motor cars
Every single luxury
They can start their lives anew
Oh the hu-man-it-y
So thanks for joining them each week
We hoped they brought a smile
From seven rescued castaways
Once on Gilligan's Isle.
