No, suprisingly. :)
2nd Clue:It's very hush hush.

Is it the pillow Mr. Howell wanted to give to Mrs. Howell; and he had Gilligan searching the island for exotic bird feathers?

caladon, you're so close it hurts but not quite what I was after.
3rd Clue: Gilligan has a hard time shielding it from the Skipper and the Professor.

Then I'll guess that it's the pile of feathers from that episode.

Well done caladon, spot on.

First Clue: Alley

Note to Self: 3000th Post

Two episode's come to mind, but my first guess is: "Plant You Now, Dig You Later."

maybe its your second one

Second Clue "Rock and Roll"

I'm guessing "Gilligan's Personal Magnetism"

I'm guessing "Gilligan's Personal Magnetism"

I think you're right, ph1l.

yep, that is it.

The Alley is the Bowling Alley and "Rock" is of course the bowling ball, a rock. Roll is when he makes the thing that moves his hand and Mary Ann stears it

Ahh. Clever stuff with the roll clue.
Answer is animal, not mineral or vegetable.
!st clue: See pic.

Old Doctor Young?

Wow. Right episode already. Not the good doctor though.
2nd clue: Initially, a producer.

how about the mushrooms. They are autotrophs so they produce there own food.

That's way to clever for me gf. Think of producer more toward the movies.

how about another clue. I don't remember there being a mention of an animal in the episode.

When I say animal I mean it as opposed to being mineral or vegetable.
3rd Clue: Message in a bottle.

Mary Ann's boyfriend?

Spot on gf.
The initially a producer clue was meant to point to HH (Harold Hecubar)which is Horace Higgenbothem's initials as well. Maybe a little too subtle. :)

Spot on gf.
The initially a producer clue was meant to point to HH (Harold Hecubar)which is Horace Higgenbothem's initials as well. Maybe a little too subtle. :)

oh ok, that was good.

Now, that's a clue. Well played ph1l. And well done, GF.

1st clue: mentioned often, never seen

Gilligan's friend Skinny Mulligan.

guess that one was a little easier than I thought---well done Ph1l! :) :lol: :)

You're kidding. Really? That was such a wild stab in the dark.
1st Clue: X marks the spot.

would it be a missile?

Not the missile.
2nd Clue: A sandy X at that.

would it be the underground food preserver they dig for?

Would it be the spot where the castaways decided to build their playroom?

Good thought gf but caladon has hit the nail on the head. Well done to you. :)

This is an item

First Clue: Attracting Flies

In a good way, one of Mary Ann's coconut cream pies.

Would it be the ticket that "Old Doc Dillion" got on the freeway; in Mary Ann's dream in "The Postman Cometh?"

good try ph1l, but caladon got it right.

Thanks GF,

Name the item:

1st Clue: A portable curative container.

would it be the bottle that held the natural gas on the island to burn open the telephone cable?

Not that bottle but you're close.

2nd Clue: You may find the contents hard to swallow.

The syringe and contents the Professor makes for the castaways alergy to Gilligan.

No, not the syringe.

3rd Clue: A brief appearence.

I'll try a wild guess with secret agent oh fourteen's mom's apple pie.

No it wasn't mom's apple pie.

4th Clue:

From this you can take, rattle and stroll.

One of Mr. Howell's bottles of pills. Was it from St. Gilligan and the Dragon?

Although not the right answer, you can't believe how close you are.

5th Clue: The closest thing the island had to a pharmacy.

I don't know if this is what ph1! was talking about but if it wasn't is it Mr Howell's bag of pills from Good Night Sweet Skipper?

Congratulations GF, you got it. It was Mr. H's pill case. Cool screen grab.

Good one gf. I'm getting episodes mixed up. Which one has Mr. Howell trying to fend for himself pillwise because Mrs. Howell wasn't around?

Good one gf. I'm getting episodes mixed up. Which one has Mr. Howell trying to fend for himself pillwise because Mrs. Howell wasn't around?

I always get that scene mixed up. I think its from Mr and Mrs? though.
________________


Guess the secreen grab



"...82 minutes per....."

Is it from the episode "Splashdown" when the Professor is tracking the space capsule?

yep, you are right, that is the episode.

Terrific. Actually, your clue, "...82 per....." was a big help.

Guess the prop:

Don't know what they see in it?

Ginger's see-through hand mirror from "Up at Bat"?

Congratulations, ph1l. You nailed it in one.

Thanks caladon. Props is a good subject.
1st Clue: You may find this in a tree.

a grenade?

Glad you didn't go with the obvious. :) Not a grenade though.
2nd Clue: Been known to break down.

Would it be Mr. Howell's practice polo pony?

Amazing. Well done yet again caladon.

First Clue: "Darling"

Amazing. Well done yet again caladon.

Thanks ph1l. Great clues.


First Clue: "Darling"

Would it be Erika Tiffany Smith?

Thanks ph1l. Great clues.




Would it be Erika Tiffany Smith?

yeah, that is right. I should have added something on to it to make it harder. I knew that was going to be an easy one.

Name the item:

1st Clue: A sentimental sealer.

would it be the syrup from "Goodye Island"

Good guess, but no.

2nd Clue: Unintentional opening.

The Skipper's invitation to the Howell's do.

No.

3rd Clue: This metal met the dental.

is it the clay they find on Bang Bang Bang?

Or the coin used to finally fix Gilligan's tooth problem.

is it the clay they find on Bang Bang Bang?




Or the coin used to finally fix Gilligan's tooth problem.


Both good guesses, but no.

4th Clue: Singapore 1947

I really don't know this one. :confused:

I don't know the item, but I think I know the episode is it something to do with "Good Night Sweet Skipper"?

No, but you're in the right season.

5th Clue: A first for the Skipper.

you got me stumped, I am just trying to guess the episode now. I think it might be "Forget Me Not" I guess. I hope ph1l can think of this one.

No, not that episode:

6th Clue: It's close to the Skipper's heart; straight from his chest.

I don't know yet either gf. Another good one from caladon.
I'm leaning toward the episode "Waiting for Watubi" and something sentimental from the Skipper's sea chest. Was there a locket from one of the Skipper's girlfriends?

ph1l, you've correctly named the episode and the scene and in fact are so close that I'm declaring you the winner. And to say that the item was the bottle cap that Gilligan found in the Skipper's sea chest, when the Skipper decided to leave everything to Gilligan. It came from the first bottle of beer he ever opened with his teeth. To recap:

1st Clue: A sentimental sealer. The bottle cap originally sealed a bottle of beer; and the Skipper kept it as a sentimental keepsake since it was from the first bottle of beer he ever opened with his teeth.

2nd Clue: Unintentional opening. The Skipper didn't intend to open it with his teeth, but someone hit him in the mouth with the bottle

3rd Clue: This metal met the dental. The metal bottle cap, meeting with his teeth as a result of being hit in the mouth with the bottle.

4th Clue: Singapore 1947. This is the place and date when it happened.

5th Clue: A first for the Skipper. Again, it's from the first bottle he ever opened with his teeth. If that was the first, it makes me wonder how many other times that happened.

6th Clue: It's close to the Skipper's heart; straight from his chest. The Skipper is a sentimental guy as demonstrated by all of the different items he's kept over the years. He holds these items in high regard, meaning that they also have a place in his heart; his personal treasures. Which is why they are stored in his sea chest.

Well done ph1l.

ok, congratulations ph1l Good Job

that was good caladon, as soon as you see the answer its like "oh I knew that" :)

Very generous, caladon. I wouldn't have given it to me. :)
An item.
1st Clue: Black and hairy.

the gorilla that takes Mrs Howell?

The giant morning spider?

No to both.
2nd Clue:To be or not to be.

The wig Ginger wore when she was trying to impress Harold Hecuba?

Very close. Wrong episode though.
3rd Clue:Could be confused with a porcine rear.

The wig (with pigtails) Ginger wore when she was pretending to be Mary Ann when Mary Ann thought she was Ginger?

Heh heh. Spot on caladon. :)

good job caladon

I think this clue might not work, but I will try it anyway.

First Clue: Jack Haley look a likes

Thanks guys.

My guess would be when The Skipper, Gilligan and the Professor, wore the lead based make-up and lead dipped clothing when the went to investigate the radiation level of the meteor.

and I thought that was going to me tricky, good job.

Thanks.

Name the item:

1st Clue: Up and down it went. It's goal to have a message sent.

As only a jet pack can from It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Gilligan!

Nice guess, but no.

2nd Clue: Some went under and some went over.

Emily the Duck?

No.

3rd Clue: It wasn't tread upon softly.

The telephone cable from "You've been Disconnected"?

No.

4th Clue: It wasn't a blanket, but it had Gilligan covered.

the body suit that made Gilligan not invisible from "Gilligan's Personal Magnestism"?

Nice guess, but no.

5th Clue: It received a royal imprint.

The weather balloon from "St. Gilligan and the Dragon"

No.

6th Clue: It appears at the beginning of the end.

just guessing for the episode before I go for the item. Is the episode V For Vitamins?

No, not that episode.

Lord Beasley's flare gun and flares.

No.

7th Clue: Not C.Q.D.

Another good one caladon.
I looked up CQD on the net and found "CQ meaning 'attention all ships' and D meaning 'distress'" Am I on the right track?

Yes, you're on the right track.

would it be "birds got to fly" because they have the transmitter for a little bit?

Logical guess, but no.

Let's take a vote. Should I post more clues or reveal the answer. Majority rules.

Definitely more clues. This'll be a good one to get. I'm keen to see how all the clues meld together as well. :)

yeah more clues, we are bound to get it soon-lol

Okey dokey.

Clue #8: It had a brief but noticeable roll in the episode in which it appeared.

Just to confirm if you're being tricky or not. Did you mean "roll" as in bowling ball" or "role" as in Macbeth? :)

Good question and nice catch ph1l. I did in fact mean roll as in "bowling ball," or more specifically as in motion, rather than role as in a part an actor would play.

Would it be the ship that appears at the end of "Ship Ahoax"?

No.

9th Clue: It was bordered by the tallest grass.

grass, the only thing I can think of is when Mr Howell is cutting the grass in Quick Before it Sinks" Maybe we can get the episode first because I know I am stumped again

Not that grass or that episode. So, do you want me to supply the name of the episode or did you want to guess the episode?

How about the season first, then when we hit 20 clues you could slip in the episode. :)
What I’m gleaning from the clues so far is something that goes up and down, is in more than one parts, was stood on, buried Gilligan, was marked by something English, appears in the tag scene of the episode, doesn’t have an SOS, moves briefly and is surrounded by, possibly, bamboo. Am I on to something here?

I'll go so far as to say that 5 of your gleanings are correct, 2 are incorrect and 2 are somewhat but not exactly correct. But I will provide a hint to help the process of elimination.

Hint: It's a colorful item.

Could it be the pile of feathers from "Smile, You're on Mars Camera"?

No, not the feathers. Let me clarify the hint: You could see the item was colorful

10th Clue: The item wound up beneath a leader who was following.

it sounds like a crate someone is standing on.

Hint:

Not a crate; but it was created by one of the castaways.

There's been a debate about who the leader was. Would you be talking the Skipper or perhaps not a castaway at all.

Hint: Not a castaway at all.

would the leader be Rodriguez from Ecuarico?

No, not that leader.

ok what about King Kaliwanni

Congratulations GF. You've named the leader, now name the item.

it's Gilligan's SOS sign!

1st Clue: Up and down it went. It's goal to have a message sent.
Got knocked down and the message is SOS
2nd Clue: Some went under and some went over
Gilligan under, the natives over.
3rd Clue: It wasn't tread upon softly
The natives and the girls clobbered it
4th Clue: It wasn't a blanket, but it had Gilligan covered
Gilligan is under in it.
5th Clue: It received a royal imprint.
King's steps foot print
6th Clue: It appears at the beginning of the end
Begging of the last episode
7th Clue: Not C.Q.D.
SOS is written of the front
Clue #8: It had a brief but noticeable roll in the episode in which it appeared
Short funny scene at the opening of the episode.
9th Clue: It was bordered by the tallest grass.
The King's grass skirt
10th Clue: The item wound up beneath a leader who was following.
He is standing on it

Congratulations and well done GF; that's it exactly. However the tallest grass was referring to the bamboo (the tallest grass) frame. And up and down it went refered to Gilligan pulling the line that caused the sign to roll up and down.

Well done gf. It's so easy when you know the answer. :)
Another good effort caladon.

Thanks guys, I don't know if I can out due that one but I will give it a try. This first clue should throw you off.

First Clue: John Savage movie

"Message in a Bottle?"

Sorry hit the post button too soon "The Postman Cometh?"

I should have said its a costume and not an episode

Second Clue: "The youngest one in curls"

I'll guess, the Mary Pickford costume worn by Mary Ann in the episode "Castaway Pictures Presents."

You got it, one of my favorite Mary Ann scenes. Costume gave it away. I should have used a different word. Oh well. John Savage is in the movie "Hair" if you were wondering about that.

let's keep the game going. Anybody got one? I don't want to go twice in a row.

OK, I've had time to think of a real hard one. :)
The answer comes under props.
1st Clue: Difficult to put a finger on it.

Would it have something to do with a gun. Maybe Jackson Farrell from "Little Island Big Gun"

Or maybe the flare gun belonging to Lord Beasley?

At least I got to clue 2. :)
2nd Clue: There's a little monkey business involved.

How about the flare gun that was stolen by the chimp in "Voodoo Something To Me?"

Not that little monkey.
3rd Clue: Ginger wasn't the only living doll.

Could it be the robot from "Gilligan's Living Doll?"

Nope.
4th Clue: An apple a day didn't keep the doctor away.

Ok, now I think I've got it.

Is it the ring used by Dr. Boris Balinkoff, that turned the castaways into robots?

Spot on caladon. Well done. I didn't think I'd get to the fourth clue. It's easy when you know the answer. :)

First Clue: A Certain Room

Spot on caladon. Well done. I didn't think I'd get to the fourth clue. It's easy when you know the answer. :)

Thanks ph1l. Those were great clues.

First Clue: A Certain Room

I'll guess the play room that the castaways were planning to build in the episode "X Marks The Spot."

that's the episode. The "room" I was going for was Powder Room and the name of the operation the goverment was doing was operation powdercake but you still got it.

Thanks for the visual clues, GF; they're very helpful.

OK, here we go, name the item:

Clue #1: A handy thing to have.

The bowling ball barrow from "Gilligan's Personal Magnetism"

No.

2nd Clue: small but informative.

the radio?

No.

3rd Clue: Informative but unethical.

The 200 function pocket knife from "Gilligan vs Gilligan".

No.

4th Clue: One way to have the facts at your fingertips.

The crib notes Mary Ann suggested to the Professor for him to use with Lord Beasley from "Man with a Net".

The crib notes Mary Ann suggested to the Professor for him to use with Lord Beasley from "Man with a Net".

Congratulations ph1l, you got it exactly.

BTW, did it seem a bit strange that if the castaways had been asleep for 2 days, that none of the guys had signs of beard growth?

or that none of them had to go to the bathroom :lol:

or that none of them had to go to the bathroom :lol:


Good point, GF. But on the other hand, having seen people who've been passed out drunk, my guess is that they probably already did, which would explain why most of them remained seated. :drink: omg: :

:lol: I never thought about why half of them didn't go to the lagoon.

What's Gilligan up to?
1st Clue: See pic. :)

He's putting out the fire that according to regulations, is to close to the hut?

Well done caladon. You're really good with the pic clues.
Hey gf, how about a decent screen shot of this scene?

that is from the Chain of Command right? I know the scene that caladon described and I can remember it but I can't remember the episode for sure.

It's from "Gilligan Goes Gung-Ho."

I wasn't sure at first, but what tipped me off was when I saw the bamboo key that Gilligan wore in that episode. In the pic, it had swung to one side.

oh ok, well here is your screen shot ph1!

I couldn't tell exactly what frame yours was, but I believe its the third one here.

Sorry about that gf. I meant to mention the episode. Thanks for posting the pics.
After comparing your pics to mine, I've just got to get myself a dvd player.

you should, they are a lot of fun :)

First Clue: William Conrad

"The Sound Of Quacking?"

Second Clue: "Trial and Error"

William Conrad starred as Cannon. There was a judgement made by the Professor and an error by Mr. Howell when he thought a chest contained riches but only had cannon balls.
"Plant You Now, Dig You Later" comes to mind.

that's the episode, Good Job. BTW I got the Trial and Error line from the back of the VHS.

Ah. I never got an opportunity to purchase the videos. Suited the clue though.
Hint-A prop.
1st Clue: Round the Minnow.

that's the episode, Good Job. BTW I got the Trial and Error line from the back of the VHS.

Excellent clues GF; and a excellent use of logic ph1l, well done.


1st Clue: Round the Minnow.

The life preserver?

Rats. I could say no but I can't think of anything else to go with the clue.:)
Well done caladon.

Thanks ph1l.

Ok folks, name the item:

1st Clue: Rock & roll.

The bowling ball from "Gilligan's Personal Magnetism"

No.

2nd Clue: A proposed appeasement.

The stone idol of Kona.

No.

Clue #3: An alternative to apples.

oranges?

No.

Clue #4: An item of notes.

Gilligan's drum from the castaway orchestra in "Music Hath Charm"

No.

Clue #5: A boulder for a holder.

I am thinking butterfly nets from "My Fair Gilligan" I am kind of guessing. It sort of fits but I don't think enough

No.

Clue #6: First bound and round; then found on the ground.

Good game again caladon. I definitely need a hint. Anything to do with natives?

Yes.

I think I've narrowed the episode to "Gilligan the Goddess". Am I in the ballpark?

No.

Clue #7: A fee done for freedom.

I was thinkng Music Hath Charm but ph already tried that. Got another clue?

Sure.

Clue #8: A band aid

This is a bit of a stab in the dark (like most of my answers :) ) but could it be the roll of money Mr. Howell uses in hope of getting the witchdoctor to take the curse off the Professor in "Voodoo"

As stabs in the dark go, that one was right on the money (in every sense.) You're exactly right; congratulations ph1l. Well done.

And now for a quick recap:

1st Clue: Rock & roll.

Mr. Howell placed the bank roll on a big rock

2nd Clue: A proposed appeasement.

Mr. Howell was using hoping the money would appease the Witch Doctor

Clue #3: An alternative to apples.

As the saying goes "An apple a day, keeps the Dr. away." Mr. Howell was hoping that they money he left would keep the Witch Doctor away

Clue #4: An item of notes.

The item was money; i.e. bank notes

Clue #5: A boulder for a holder.

Mr. Howell used the big rock (boulder) to hold the money

Clue #6: First bound and round; then found on the ground.

When Mr. Howell first put the money on the rock, it was rolled up & bound with a rubber band; which the Witch Doctor removed to play with, while dropping the money to the ground

Clue #7: A fee done for freedom.

Mr. Howell was using the money hopping to pay off the Witch Doctor and therebye free the Professor from being a zombie

Clue #8: A band aid

The rubber band aided in keeping the money together in a roll.

oh ok, great job ph1!, and great clues Caladon

Thanks chaps. The last clue made sense of clues 2, 4, 6 and 7 but I forgot about the rock (which makes sense of clues 1 & 5 now) so I wasn't positive about the answer. Clue 3 was very clever. Another good one caladon.

An Item.
1st Clue: Put your money where your mouth is.

The multi-use shiny gold pocket knife that belonged to the Gilligan lookalike spy?

or the expensive plastic fillings for Gilligan's Teeth from Bang Bang Bang

No and no.
2nd Clue: It was Mary Ann's turn.

The totem pole where the ransom money for Mary Ann was left?

That'll do it. Well done caladon. How about a screen pic gf?

Mary Ann gets kidnapped a lot, I am not sure of the episode.

I did it again. Sorry gf. It's from season 3. "The Kidnapper"

that's alright. I should know my stuff-lol

Here is mine

First Clue: It's About Time

If it's an item, I'd guess the Scorpio EX-1 space capsule from "Splashdown," which was also used in the Sherwood Schwartz series "It's About Time." And also used in "Nyet, Nyet, Not Yet."

dang caladon. You got it in one. Great job

Thanks for the great pics gf. I was actually after a pic of the Howell's making the "drop".

I think I know why I don't remember that scene. I don't belive it was on TV Land or TBS.

Thanks again gf for the great pics. It doesn't surprise me the scene is cut from the episode. There seems to be no hard fast rule on what tv stations cut. The following was cut by the local station here.

1:00 - 1:50
The Professor joins Gilligan and the Skipper in discussing the ransom note.
2:54 - 3:55
Credits after opening titles. Mr. Howell conveying his devotion towards Mrs. Howell to Ginger and Mary Ann.
10:55 - 12:00
The Professor explaining how his trap will work to Gilligan and the Skipper. Gilligan showing his reservations about being the bait.
Total of 2:56 missing

dang caladon. You got it in one. Great job

Thank you GF. I get lucky every now and then.

Ok folks, name the item:

Clue #1: An off shoot.

Pancho Hernando Gonzales Enrico Rodriguez's gun from "The Little Dictator".

No.

Clue #2: Part of a best laid scheme.

Randolph Blake from Not Guilty

No.

Clue #3: It was a nice tri. (BTW, the clue contains no typos.)

Jackson Farell (I think he had three henchmen)

No; remember it's an item:

Clue #4: Gilligan really laid it on the line.

The Eye of the Idol from "Three to get Ready"

No.

Clue #5: It's not a tree, but it did branch out.

The special bamboo connection Gilligan created to pipe hot water to the Howell's trunk bath, to the Skipper's shower and for the girl's to wash dishes in "Operation: Steam Heat.

Right on target ph1l. Congratulations.

Thanks caladon. Good clues again.
Name the item.
1st Clue: Royally owned.

The lighter (The Eternal Flame) owned by King Kilawani?

No.
2nd Clue: Useful with an imanust.

Oh man, now that's a nice clue:

Duke's surf board used to ride a reverse tsunami?

Well done caladon. You picked up on the reverse tsunami thing exactly.

ok, here is one

First Clue: popular sovereignty

Gladys, the winner of the Miss Castaway contest.

Second Clue: Sometimes It can be a hole mess on this day

Gilligan's well from "President Gilligan"

I think that's the right episode, but I'll guess the election itself.

yup, that's the one

First Clue: Three's a Crowd

Erika Tiffany Smith's romantic triangle with the Skipper and the Professor.

No, but you are on the right track.

Second Clue: The Odd Couple(s)

How about when The Professor and Ginger had dinner dates with Mrs. Howell and Mr. Howell (respectively)

that could work, but so could another one

Third Clue: Roommates

I think I might have it.

When Mr. Howell moved in with the Skipper and Gilligan and Mrs. Howell moved in with Ginger and Mary Ann.

that's the one.

Another one that could have worked with the same clues is Wrongway Feldman bunking with Gilligan and the Skipper but I didn't even think of that one till I got to the last clue

Cool.

Ok, name the item:

Clue #1: It's from the pilot but seen somewhere else.

The Transmitter

Seen in "Goodnight Sweet Skipper" and of course "Birds got to Fly..."

Nice guess, but no.

Clue #2: It was given from one to another.

a fish?

The Skipper's telescope.

a fish?

No.


The Skipper's telescope.

No.


Clue #3: It's an easy item to pin down.

A map of Hawaii and the surrounding islands.

No.

Clue #4: This item was both earned and given.

Would it have anything to do with money?
