As Gilligan once told the skipper and Professor ("Meet the Metor",episode 68).

BTW I hate the cuts from the show but it's better than nothing for the time. Taped many episodes.

I noted the color episodes, which TVLAND started showing, were 2/3 of the show, and had the most memorable episodes and musical scores. One thing notable (aside from songs) is the score, as recognizble as the Looney tunes and Flintstones scoring, largely done in Gilligan by Gerald Fried. However a lot of those same scores are in other episodes (the Boris Balinkoff mind switch episode, the Harold Hecuba one,etc.) credited to "Hawaii Five O" composer Morton Stevens (maybe he was designed bY God to be a tropical composer forever!:)

BTW John Williams wrote the little theme that always accompanies Gilligan and Phil Silvers who played Hecuba was owner of the company. Mel Blanc did voices from tiem to time, largely as a parrot (he did this for FLYING NUN and of course many cartoons where he did his usual voices like LOOONEY TUNES and FLINTSTONES).

BTW there were several islands used on occasion and the name of the one from 1965-=67 ios Coconut Island.:wave:

I was wondering if anyone has seen or even heard of a "Gilligan's Island" sountrack being available. All of the underscores are so recognisable and really add to the shows. I'd love a CD so I could listen to them in the car.
I wonder if E-mailing Mr. Schwartz on a possible album would do any good. :)

If you have a digital recording studio, you can record some of the scores directly from the DVDs.

One of the web sites has small snippets from the episodes. I was actually after scores without laugh track and sound effects.

That's why I said "some". You can record the ones that have no sound effects in them.
