OK--what is the possible farthest you can see these two going romantically?

Physically they make a good match. However, I could see Ginger becoming easily frustrated with their relationship because the Professor would be engrossed in one of his scientific experiments just when Ginger was in a romantic mood.

And if they ever got off the Island they would drift apart quickly since Ginger would want to go to all of the Hollywood parties, premieres, etc. and the Professor would want to spend all his time in the lab working on his latest experiment.

I called 'married' on this one, maybe with one kiddo. Probably not until after they are rescued, though, unless Ginger finally made a serious, all-out move. The Professor would need something drastic - like finding out how much he misses her - to break through his complacency and fear and act on his feelings.

I agree with littlesoprano. She'd catch him eventually. :D

Again, we can't argue with Sherwood and The TV Movie That Wasn't.

Yup! If I remember right, Proffy and Ginger were married with a daughter in the proposed plot. Along with Gilligan/Mary Ann, Prof/Ginger is the canon-couple-that-almost-was/should-have-been.

Is Ginger ever not in a romantic mood? ;) You do bring up a good point. Though the Professor will probably never be a romantic, I think he would be much more romantically inclined if he felt more sure of himself in that arena. (He certainly seems to be enjoying himself during his scene in "Castaway Pictures Presents"!) Ginger would probably be more than happy to give him some more kissing lessons. :) She could even put a scientific spin on it.

Professor: I understand it all now! It's just a matter of velocity in relation to complementary angles!

Ooh, where did you hear specifics? I just read that they were both married with a bunch of kids, haha. Bob Denver isn't terribly specific in his book.

Ha, complementary angles! Nice.

I know what Schwartz's plan was but if I go just by the show itself, I will bet my quarter on a serious monogamous relationship. I don't I know that it would last finally. I definitely get the interest vibe between them and the sense that there could be an exclusive interest rather than just something "casual," but I don't get the "love" vibe to the degree I get with Gilligan and Maryann. I think the Professor and Ginger could be seriously involved, maybe not make it due to their differences and be able to go on and live without each other. Do you think that is also true about Gilligan and Maryann? I'm interested in your thoughts.

I agree that it would be more than a casual relationship, if for no other reason than the Professor probably isn't capable of a casual romantic relationship. Any romantic relationship would be serious to him, because it would take such an effort on his part to open up and get past his romantic hang-ups. Ginger, on the other hand, has probably seldom had anything *but* casual relationships. She would also have a lot invested in a relationship with the Professor, because she would have to work past her apparent fears about close relationships.

I do think that there is a "love vibe" between the two in the series, beyond just attraction. The scene that really shows this is in "X Marks the Spot," where they tell each other about their regrets and insecurities. This is a big deal for two characters who are very guarded about showing their flaws. They also genuinely enjoy one another's company and have a very companionable friendship, especially shown in scenes where Ginger assists the Professor.

For the long run, I think it could work if they each learned to give a little. The Professor would need to realize that Ginger needs romance and attention. Ginger would have to know that she couldn't expect him to participate in the Hollywood scene. Actually, a marriage between them could be ideal. It's the marriages that you *don't* hear about in Hollywood - when stars are married to people in other professions - that last.

I say there is nothing here. The Professor really shows very little interest and frankly, Ginger is more interested in Mr. Howell...

Professor: I understand it all now! It's just a matter of velocity in relation to complementary angles!

Best description of kissing ever. :lol: And G/P are so adorable together, they would have made it work somehow. There was definitely chemistry there, and not just in his test tubes. (whomp whomp) Besides, season one Proffy was smooth, compared to colour eps Proffy, who suddenly didn't know how to kiss. Huh? He was smooching her quite happily in Big Man On A Little Stick. ("Lucky Pierre!" Don't google it at work, folks.)

Proffy and Ginger, Gilligan and Mary Ann. I wish the canon couples had married and had those kids. As Bob Denver said in his book, "let Gilligan's son fall in the lagoon for a change."

While I can very easily see Gilligan & Mary Ann getting married after being rescued, IMO, the idea of Ginger agreeing to marry the Professor after they got rescued sounds proposterous. Why would she do that?

From what I remember, there was some ground work layed for Ginger and Professor to begin a relationship. In the episode X Marks The Spot, the two of them have a pretty nice heart to heart where Ginger questions her career choice and the Professor gives her moral support. In Seer Gilligan, The Professor obviously has Ginger (or at least her dimensions) on his mind. Also, there were scattered scenes where Ginger would assist the Professor with his experiments and in once scene she obviously make him a bit nervous. Seems very plausible.

Ginger definitely had a soft spot for the Professor. You could tell that when she flirted with him, it was markedly different to when she launched herself at Gilligan. However, there were hints at Ginger/Skipper too. She loved the big guy, and if things hadn't worked out between her and The Prof, I think she may have given Skippy a chance.

Has that pairing been discussed yet?

Aw, Ol' Ginge definitely had a little crush on Roy and his tall socks. It was adorable. And he was noticeably flustered by her in Goodbye Island. They'd be so cute together. And good for one another - she'd get him to loosen up a bit and he'd ground her a bit. Lovey saw it, too, in the tag scene for Matchmaker. :)

Everybody was flustered by Goodbye Island. Especially the viewers! The tree licking, Gilligan's glue, and thanking Mary Ann's pancakes. Sherwood, you genius :lol:

Oh- and the Professor's droopy nail!!!

Yes, Teebs, the entire episode was about Gilligan's glue on Mary Ann's pancakes.

Cough.

Sherwood!

Watch Goodbye Island and you'll see what we're talking about. And how about all the men who debate whether Mary Ann is 'hotter' than Ginger? That's something we girls have to put up with all the time, whether we like it or not. :wave:

The % who pick Ginger is very small isn't it?

I justed watched "Beauty is as Beauty Does" again. Would the Prof/Ginger folks please explain why Prof. says that Mary Annis the most beautiful woman on the Island? I did notice that Gilligan liked Mary Ann's talent performance the best of the 3.

You DO realize that what the Professor says in this episode was written by writers, don't you? lol In watching the series, I just don't see any romantic chemistry between the Professor & Mary Ann. Yes, he hugs her once or twice, but I just don't see romance there. Seems more like a big brother/little sister thing to me. The Professor & Ginger are the two who seemed to be physically attracted to each other and who had the physical chemistry going on. So many people through the years have commented on the chemistry between them! ..and believe me, I'm trying to keep it clean in how I word things in this comment! lol

As a person who has made Manny Manny postes about the subject I have to agree

I better just tell you now I agree

Great point.

Opposites attract.

I always felt there was a bit of chemistry between Ginger & The Professor!

You can't just take that one episode and assume that the Professor loved Mary Ann. I think they were very good friends on the show. Mary Ann seemed a little young for the Professor IMO, and that may be why the producers never let them have steamy kissing scenes like the Prof & Ginger did...I don't know. They never once kissed, except when Prof kissed her in a dream sequence. If you remember, the Professor chose Ginger as his choice for a Goddess in one episode, so does that negate the beauty contest?

There is a site called Mary Ann & the Professor on Flickr where they take EVERY scene ever shot with Prof/Mary Ann and make it sound or look like they were in love.

There are also as many scenes with Prof/Ginger where they seem to be connecting in a special way. The Professor hugs Ginger more than once, he holds Ginger's hand, they look at each other all the time, Ginger runs to the Professor when she is scared and he holds her several times. I'm not even including the steamy kissing scenes and the scene where the Professor nuzzles Ginger's neck to smell her perfume! That was a great excuse Professor! lol I could go on and on with these similarities.

My point is, you could take A LOT of scenes between Prof/Ginger and make them look romantic as they try so hard to do on the site I mentioned earlier!

The Professor seems to like both ladies in the series, but I think he liked them in different ways! Let us Prof/Ginger people have our fantasy and let the Prof/Mary Ann people have theirs! :lol:
