It's in the ep:Gilligan goes Gung-Ho!Great episode:)

The best ep was when Gilligan thought he was becoming a vampire.

Well, it's not "Gung Ho" but exccellent.

That was "Up at Bat" (Episode 69, written by Ron Friedman and directed by longtime theatrical movie director Jerry Hopper, both, making their GI debut as a writer and director, respectively,for the show), sometimes ID as the last one of 1965-66 or as the first of 1966-67--I go with the latter conjecture because:

1) Creator-Producer Sherwood Schwartz is credited but no executive producer (which Jack Arnold was on all 1965-1966 ones)

2)1966-67 appears injust about enough episode guides to convince me it debtued Sept.1966, not May,1966 as often reported.)(Of course episodes are often done out of order just as theatrical cartoon and short subject comedy series and theatrical movies are also done out of order).

"Up at Bat" seemed to have (esp.the appropriate "batty" Halloween music rather than the standard "scary" music that debuted in "Ghost a Go Go" and "Friendly Physcian")largely different, mujsic created just for the episode, greta organ music (credited as usual to Gerald Fried).

Gilligan at one point goes to the girls to get the bat bite treated.Both the Skipper and Professor (at the latter's urging) discourage any acknolwedgement of the bite to the girls or the Howells but that left Gilligan rather unable to explain how he was bitten ("I bit myself")!!

A funny scene comes when the red fruit bat mistaken as a vampire flies in and scares the girls. Mary Ann tries to be brave since they after all now know of Gilligan';s bite and they think it;'s him but Ginger at first tries to swat it. Then when the Skipper sees the note (with Bob Denver's disembodied voice so we won't have to look at the possibly--esp.with Gilligan--illegilible writing!!) we hear Gilligan say, "..I don;t wanna be a vampre else I might fly out.." and the skipper asks himself..looking at the camera "Why would he do a DUMB thing like THAT". Then we "hear" Gilligan "say": "P.S.This was the only dumb thing I could think of doing."

Two questions about "Up at bat"---
1) Did Gilligan and Skipper EVER seal up the cave from which the bat flew (as suggested by the Prof.)
2) how even if it WAS a harmless bat could the girls and the Professor be sure (regardless of whether the bat's cave was sealed up or not!!) that this was the SAME bat---cf.1965's "Gilligan Gets Bugged" (Episode 49, written by Jack R.Gross,Jr. and Michael J.Stein,directed by Gary Nelson who also directed Disney's first version of Mary Rodger's "Freaky Friday", the one with Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster from 1976) where the professor KNOWS more Mantis Carni bugs exist (most ep.guides, including the early one by Joey Green, OFFICIAL GI HANDBOOK, 1988, Warner Books, don't mention the multiple bug thing). And what about the THIRD bat sighting...in the tag?:D

WOnderful one!!

That was the only episode [Episode 83] directed by Robert Scheerer, but one of many "rescue goofups" written by Bruce Howard, and it had Gilligan acting like Don Knotts did on Andy Griffith. (Which, by the way, had many of the same writers as this and other sitcoms).

This, like "Splashdown" [Episode 90, written by John Fenton Murray, directed by Jerry Hopper, guests include Chick Hearn!!-RIP], had a rescue foul-up by Gilligan that involved guest stars flying (in a plane in this case, in a spaceship in "Splashdown") and not bothering to rescue them (in "Splashdown", because of Gilligan knocking the SOS burning (intnetionally done to create the signal, of course) logs, accidentally, and spelling SOL (as in Tobias, one of the astronauts) where in "Gilligan Goes Gung-Ho", the pilots see nothing).

That was the last wepisode I recall until "Gilligan the Goddess" [Episode 98, written by Jack Paritz and Bob Rodgers;-any relaiton to FREAKY FRIDAY author Mary Rodgers, since FF director (the Jodie Foster one) mentioned after this directed this episode; directed by Gary Nelson; special guest starring Stanely Adams] to have Schwartz credited just as producer rather than the latter "Created by SHERWOOD SCHWARTZ, Executive Producer" (which starting with the next episode if I'm correct, "Take a Dare", written by Roland MacLane and directed by Stanley Z.Cherry and special guesting Strother Martin in a "Survivor" game before its time, and all later ones had the Created by....Exec Prodcuer" rather than "Created and Produced by" which WAS as mentioned in the "Goddess" ep.) Plus no teaser on "Gung Ho" as in others. (The teaser is on most others around this. ) The last use of a teaser is in the one with Sterling Holloway, "The Pigeon" (he was the only special guest star never on the Island--the pilots,naval type,voices on radio, etc.were just minor characters and Dr.Balinkoff played bY Vito Scotti DID come to the Island in both his appearances)[Episode 96, written by Jack Raymond, Brad Radnitz, and Joel Hammil directed by M.J.Kane] and the last "Created by....Exec.Prod." credit is on the next, "Bang! Bang! Bang!", one of several episodes done after "Gung Ho" of the show to have no teaser (along with Episode 95, "Slave Girl", which has the shortest tag, written by J.Fessier,directed by former codirector Wilbur D'Arcy). "BanG" was written by Leonard Goldberg, directed by Charles Norton, and, of course, is Episode 97, coming between the pigeon and final episode.)

(These definitely, coninciding perfect with what I know, prove that epsides ain't always released in roder, and the copyright shows "Gilligan the Goddess" was NOT the last made, along with the odd (by then) creator-producer credit not seen since the episode asked about ("Gilligan goes Gung Ho", the last one of 1966 before 1967).

Another thing is a turning pont in music credit (Gerald Fried largely replaced by Morton Stevens,m whose first broadcast Gilligan music credit is the one where the SKipper accidentally hits Gilligna, thus turning him into a hi-fi - "Hi Fi Gilligan", Episode 47, written by Mary C.McCall and directed by longtime exec producer and director Jack Arnold, who did many of the show's best color episodes and some wonderful B&W ones, as well). By 1967 Gerlad Fried and Morton Stevens, going by rerun credits (there IS a glitch in the soudntrack in "Bang! Bang! Bang! , the next to last episode originally shown, and the last to have a 1967 copyright and Creator, exec.prodcuer credit (all of which carried R.L.Rosen as producer-see my above "Gilligan the Goddess" comments) were equally alternated, and during these final months (January-April 1967) Morton Stevens was most credited and more original cues appeared though those "Fried-credited" cues (like the "Boris Balinkoff's Castle shot" scary music oft-heard, making a return appeareance as of latge in 1966-67), and the "Gilligan approaching the Giant Skipper's castle" music (which had returned around fall 1966) were revived form the previous seaosn after being rather dormant and cues created by and credtied to Gerald Fried in fall 1966 were now credited to Stevens (and other way around--i.e., Harold Hecuba's and alter Eva Grubb's reedy "quick change music", used apparently only in these two, credited to Morton Stevens in the first (getting for once a direct "Music" credit, rather than his usual "Music Supervision", as opposed to the elaborate composed-conducted by Fried credit.;), and in the Grubb episode ("All about Eva", Joanna Lee's last credit for the show though director Jerry Hopper hung on for a while) when TIna Louise/Eva/Ginger changes credited to Gerald Fried. I also noted that the two were never credited togther. One wonders if a contract or other assignment kept Fried's name offscreen in those cited without his name, and Stevens too.Listenting to the soudntrack, that is, one thinks Gerald Fried and Morton Stevens (I know I've said this many times) were the same person....

Sorry,Steve!But,you're wrong:(It's in the ep:Gilligan's goes Gung-Ho!Sheck that episode to see what I mean.It's when the Skipper is the sherriff and Gilligan is the deputy and he throws everyone in jail.

No, I was answered the third poster who was mentioning "Up at Bat". I know you were referring to "Gilligan Gung Ho". Please re-read my post.

I said this in my last post, but this came between the episodes where Schwarzt was beiung listed as executive producer yet his title besides creator is just plain producer. Evidently the episode was backlogged and held over (I'd say the episode was produced around the time of the start of the 1966-67 season-it was broadcast on December 26, 1966). (Again, it's very comon for studios not to release or broadcast in order----compare with the late 40s-early 50s backlog of Warner Bros.cartoons that were held over for about TWO or THREE years before being finally released. Many Gilligan episodes alternate between 1966 and 1967 copyright dates in 1967, and the last--"Gilligan the Goddess"-made after some with a MCMLXVII date had a MCMLXVI date, and the older music. For that matter, the 12th one, "Birds gotta fly, Fish Gotta Talk" is the FIRST episode, even though "Two on a raft" was first to be broadcast (September 26, 1964).

I'm sorry,Steve:)

Sure thing, no porblem.
