My daughter and I love watching the show and she is watching it for the first time. We have the entire DVD collection. We are working our way through season 2 now. popcorn:

I told her that when we finished the series, we will watch Rescue from Gilligan's Island and we will do it while eating a coconut cream pie!!! :liplick: She loves the idea.

Her 10 yr. birthday is just around the corner. I ordered an autographed 8 x 10 of Dawn Wells. It arrived last week. She signed it to my daughter. I can't wait to give it to her framed on her birthday.

Did you ask Dawn to bake a coconut cream pie for you? ;)

:lol:

Still on Season 2, but couldn't resist once I found the pie at the store. ;)

I was about 10 when I started watching it, good to start em young

I showed my daughter most of the shows I loved as a kid when she was younger, many she didn't like, but she did like Gilligan's Island and Leave It To Beaver so I'm happy. Of course now that she's a teen I'm not sure what she feels about them.

What an excellent idea. My 10yr old daughter and I also enjoy watching GI together. When I mentioned your idea, she loved it. Since this past week was spring break, we decided to use one day for a GI and coconut cream pie marathon. Thanks for the suggestion.

TOO COOL! You're very welcome.

Great idea indeed ! Both of my kids were brought up watching Gilligan with me - starting @ 8-10 years old. They are 25 and 22 now, and they still love GI. My son was singing the G-I-double L-I..... diddy the other day from the episode wherein Gilligan dreams he's the leader of "his country". I was proud !!!:)

HA! How cool

Here I am approaching the last episodes of season 3 and will soon be watching Rescue From Gilligan's Island as well as Surviving Gilligan's Island.

I wanted to do something special. I've already done the Coconut Cream Pie.

I was thinking about the cups they used on the island.

These two images were found on the internet. The ceramic cups are sold for about $30 each on eBay.

This one was listed as a movie prop from Gilligan's Island. Winning bid from last June was $177

I realized I was thinking on the high scale. For heaven's sake, people do have luau parties. Party City has coconut cups for about $3. CANDY DISH!

HA! The Gilligan's Island Cookie Hut plays the theme when you lift the jar!

I'll pick up some Leis as well. The kids will like that.

I've just printed invitations for the kids.

Tiki candle holder

What the heck, I just ordered this set of four via Amazon.com

Wow! When I decided to plan the rescue of Gilligan on June 8th, I didn't know how involved I would end up taking this.
Ceramic coconut mugs
Leis
An ocean blue table cloth (I will be cutting the island out of cardboard for the center piece)
Plastic animals (gorilla and Leo the lion) and palm trees
Candy dishes made from actual coconuts
Tiki Candle holders
Money confetti (representing the Howells)
and I even have a little life preserver on the way

And the search goes on for a token toy boat I can call the Minnow

I found it extremely difficult not to spend a fortune to find a replica of the SS Minnow. This is what I will be using. It is a 3 & 1/2 inch fishing boat. I will spray paint it white, paint the windows and see about finding stenciling letters to mark it as the SS Minnow.

My planning is kind of cool, I thought I would share. The image gets flipped so I can sketch the pattern on the back before cutting. I want to do this in a brown felt.
