Gilligan's Island Trivia Questions to Ponder! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't know the answer to this one fellas but I am curious to find out! Out of all of the episodes of the 3 seasons, how many of them are there where Gilligan does NOT foul something up that prevents them from being rescued?

I thought it was funny that Gilligan most of the time messed up the castaways resuce plans! But sometimes situations were just left to weather conditions or bad luck where Gilligan didn't do something stupid! How many of these can you guys think of?

Ok, now something to ponder...Out of all the attempts being rescued when Gilligan DID do something stupid, what would you say was the single dumbest thing he did that prevent the castaways rescue in any episode?

I know this isn't all of them, but the ones where Gilligan didn't mess up:

- 'The Big Gold Strike' (he was the only one not to bring a bag of gold on the raft)
- 'Big Man on A Little Stick' (Duke's amnesia wasn't his fault. lol)
- 'How To Be A Hero' (not a rescue, but he *saved* them from the headhunters)
- 'Topsy Turvy' (saved them here too...)
- 'The Return of Wrongway Feldman' (Wrongway was just a stubborn pain in the you-know-where..but he was still cool)
- 'Man With A Net' (they *all* passed out and missed the boat)
- 'The Secret of Gilligan's Island' (it wasn't his fault the Professor read the hieroglifics --spelled that wrong-- the wrong way)
- 'Ship Ahoax'
- 'Gilligan Meets Jungle Boy' (the kid ran off and stole the balloon on his own...)
- 'Our Vines Have Tender Apes'
- 'Don't Bug The Mosquitos' (The Honeybees were just a little too awesome)
- 'The Producer'

There's more...but it's early. Why am I on the computer this early? Then again, why am I up this early? LOL.

In the Beauty contest episode, Gilligan doesn't screw up the chances of a rescue, becaue that is one of the few episodes in which they castways don't try to get rescued.
