Can Someone Tell Me What "Gilligan's Island: Law & Order" Is? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JamesG · 10-30-2009, 03:02 AM

Yesterday afternoon I stumbled upon someone having a yardsale where I bought tons of VHS tapes for $1.00

Among the tapes I noticed a big VHS case that was "Gilligan's Island: Law & Order - Collector's Set". This case was big, like a box.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me about this.. what is this? Is the tape worth anything...? It was opened but it looked like it was in good condition; no rips, tears, or anything like that.

I did not pick it up but if if it is worth getting I'll stop by there again to get it.

The Little Dictator
Gilligan Goes Gung Ho

Gilligan's Island: Natural Disasters
Home Sweet Hut
Quick Before It Sinks
Operation: Steam Heat

Gilligan's Island: Misadventures of Gilligan
Good-Bye Island
So Sorry, My Island Now
It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Gilligan

Gilligan's Island: Mysterious Relics
Waiting for Watubi
Voodoo
High Man on the Totem Pole

to name a few. I don't know if the season 1 episodes are colourised.

^thanks.

Are these available easily? I'm sure they must be out of print so I was wondering if this particular one or tapes like it are rare to come across?

The tapes were issued by Columbia House, They did the same thing with M*A*S*H. The idiot at Columbia House that came up with this bird-brained idea to release the tapes this way needs their head examined. The episodes were not released in order and one month you would get a tape with Henry Blake long gone and on the next taped he would reappear. This is just one example of an idea that made no sense.

I used Amazon.com for my research and it appears they're readily available from a few sellers still.

Call me crazy, but I'd love to see a Gilligan's Island episode with the L&O chung-chung sound effect between scenes.
