Is it just me or does Ginger have a crush on the proffessor? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This might sound a little silly but I think Scwarts was trying to get acrose some kind of romance bettween the professor and Ginger. Heres the facts: 1. when professor had a crush on ericka tiffiny smith Ginger taught the professor to kiss. 2. when the three bachelors had to charm mary anne Ginnger took the Proffesor under her wing. 3.In Castaway Pictures Presents Ginger kissed the proffessor as a thankyou even though at no part in the film did the proffessor do anything to warrent having to hold his breath that long 4. when the movie played ginger had a strange smile on her face (well at least ive heard in lookin for that ep in my collection now. Now what do 1,2,3, and 4 add up 2? that's right, 10!

JWood201 · 09-25-2002, 05:37 PM

Oh, she so did. If you read the transcript for 'Goodbye Island' on gilligansisle.com you'd see some subtext in that area. lol.
Schwartz, at least from what I've heard, had always been an advocator of the Ginger/Professor, as well as the Gilligan/Mary Ann, thing and, frankly, he is a brilliant man. lol. I forget where I heard this, but all the evidence supports that Schwartz was one for the romance. Too bad the censors were so strict in the 60s.

Julie the GI girl · 09-26-2002, 03:50 PM

no, it most certainly is NOT just you!!! they totally should have wound up together. why else was she always so willing to help him with his experiments? why else did she seem to enjoy giving him "love lessons"? it's so clear. and if you ask me....he liked her too. if you look very closely during their kissing scene in the movie.....you will see that it is NOT ginger who takes over! she just leaned in and kissed him......HE was the one who threw his arms around her and pulled her closer. and why does he always go to her for help? he asks her to help with experiments, he goes to her with his erika tiffany smith problem, he's always walking around with her. oh it's there....it's so there.

ok...funny story i just have to tell. my friend was over at my house and we were watching some of the GI episodes that i had taped. we watched the movie one....and she was all like "whoa....that was a KISS." so then the episode after that was the one where they think mr. howell is broke and they go to find him.....and the professor and ginger are told to "go search in the caves." my friend said "oh, is that what they're calling it nowdays?" and laughed. i about busted a gut. yeeeaahhhhh....goin' to "search in the caves" uh-huh!

you know though....if they had got together on the show....it might have taken away from it somehow. as much as i would've loved to see that.....a lot of shows have pretty much ended after the characters get together. they say that i dream of jeannie died soon after they got married. and it's happened to other shows. part of the reason people watch is to see the tension building and to ask "when are they going to be together?" once it happens.....there's nothing exciting holding viewers to the show. i think though that if GI had gone on for a few more seasons that there would have eventually been romances between the professor and ginger and gilligan and mary ann. the first season especially implied that that was going to happen....but it became less apparent in the second and third seasons.

and about those darn censors......i'd like to know why the professor can tell ginger to "act sexier" toward the gorilla....but mary ann can't show her navel. sheesh! that's actually kind of funny.

JWood201 · 09-26-2002, 04:09 PM

Exactly, so many shows lost their charm after main characters got together. I totally agree that there was a lot more of those instances w/ the four of them in the first season than in later seasons. I think maybe it's because since the network didn't think the show would last long, the writers kinda believed it too and put that stuff in. When they saw the good ratings, maybe they got smart and realized that that kind of thing kills a show and cut back a little since it was being renewed. or something... I think I just confused myself, but do you get what I'm trying to say? LOL.
Shows that died after characters got together: I Dream of Jeannie, The Nanny, Frasier (is SO going downhill after the whole Niles/Daphne thing. Half of the comedy was his feelings about her and her obliviousness.), etc...

Spider-Dan · 09-26-2002, 10:13 PM

Sure but it lots of shows have romances that only last one episode and then they break up. Like Even Stevens, twice.

JWood201 · 09-26-2002, 10:26 PM

Well, yeah, but it's not *serious* and doesn't effect the total fabric of the show. (Wow, that sounded so authoritative...'fabric' lol)

Julie the GI girl · 09-30-2002, 05:15 PM

WHY IS THIS STUFF CUT OUT?????!!!!!!! WHY!!!????

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The professor is working on another new nail formula by the fire, as Ginger walks up behind him.

GINGER
How's it going professor?

The professor, unaccustomed to being around
beautiful women, becomes fluster and starts to
shake.

SLOW ZOOM IN WITH PROFESSOR FOR CLOSE UP SHOT

PROFESSOR
Oh! Oh wellÂ…well I'll have to aÂ…I'll
have to wait till it, cools before I,
try it.

He walks over to the rock and sets the hot nail
down.

GINGER
Gee I think it's amazing how you do all those experiments with such shaky hands!

PROFESSOR
Well they weren't shaky until a second ago.

GINGER
Oh, maybe it's the heat or something.

The professor looks at Ginger with that, you
don't have a clue look.

PROFESSOR
Yeah.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROFESSOR (O.S.)
Ginger!

GINGER
In here professor!

The professor walks on camera and immediately
walks over to Ginger.

GINGER
Remember this dress I made it fromÂ…

The professor grabs her and buries his nose into
her neck as though he's being passionate.

ZOOM IN FOR EXTREME CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND GINGER

PROFESSOR
Ginger I've got to sniff your perfume.

Ginger is delightfully shocked.

GINGER
Oh professor! On the day we're leaving?

PROFESSOR
Have you got any more of this?

GINGER
Professor I think you've had enough.

PROFESSOR
I haven't got time to explain, but where
do you keep your perfume?

GINGER
Behind my ears, can't you tell?

PROFESSOR
No no no no I mean the bottle, where do
you keep the bottle?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND GINGER

GINGER
Why in my make-up case.

The professor makes his way to her case and grabs
the perfume. He immediately walks off camera
leaving Ginger to wonder what happened.

GINGER
Well that sales girl was wrong. That
perfume doesn't make men wild. It drives
them absolutely batty!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHY DO THEY CUT OUT ALL THE GOOD PARTS!!!!?????

stupid tv. i would love to see those scenes.

JWood201 · 09-30-2002, 07:38 PM

Yeah me too...stoopid TV channels... Hopefully, with the current trend of TV shows on DVD, we'll get unedited episodes on DVD soon. I think you can go to tvshowsondvd.com and vote for GI to be put on DVD.
Speaking of editing things out, I noticed this afternoon on 'V For Vitamins' stuff I've never noticed before...

---------------------

MARY ANN
I'll never get to see Kansas again...

GILLIGAN
Or California, or North Carolina, or North - Nebraska, or North Dakota...

((I'm sitting there going, "Wait...North Nebraska?" LOL))

Later...

GINGER
Do I look like I have a Vitamin C deficiency?!

PROFESSOR
Ginger, you don't look like you have a deficiency of anything.

GINGER
Thank you, Professor.

PROFESSOR
But you do. ((

))

--------------------

I totally missed those last time! I'm convinced TV Land edits the episodes differently each time they air them. LOL. Because I've noticed things that I didn't remember from previous TV Land airings...
We'll just wait and see if they edit out the Gilligan/Mary Ann scene in 'Mr. and Mrs.???' tonite at 9....

Julie the GI girl · 09-30-2002, 08:08 PM

LOL! i'm pretty sure that scene was included the last time it was on.....i think i remember it.

watch and see.....as soon as i get all the episodes taped and i have the whole collection.....they'll come out with all three seasons on dvd. just watch.

JWood201 · 09-30-2002, 10:04 PM

Yeah, I just got them all (except for, like, 3) on tape. But it'll be so worth it 'cause the DVDs would be unedited. Yay!

Julie the GI girl · 10-16-2002, 05:11 PM

more evidence! today on "wrongway feldman"......she was so totally flirting with him!!!! i don't know how i missed it before....but i've only seen that episode once. the part when they're cleaning off the plane and stuff.....oh yeah. she's flirting.

JWood201 · 10-16-2002, 06:35 PM

oh, she TOTALLY was! LOL. She kept tickling him with those leaves. hehe. **falls over during a giggle fit**

Julie the GI girl · 10-16-2002, 10:03 PM

*joins in the giggle fit*

is it pathetic that i have nothing better to do than watch old tv shows and laugh hysterically when i see evidence of flirting? is that pathetic? NAH!!!!

JWood201 · 10-16-2002, 10:35 PM

Nah, totally not-pathetic. I don't find a sitcom amusing (there are a few exceptions) unless I have an "un-couple" to root for. It's like my own personal little sporting event. LOL.
I'm such a "shipper" -- it's sick.

Julie the GI girl · 10-17-2002, 03:37 PM

oh my gosh....i'm exactly like that too! i love shows where there's a couple that doesn't seem like they'll get together...but it kinda does...and the whole time i'm hoping they will. i LOVE watching shows like that! and i thought i was the only one....
