"Surviving Gilligan's Island" DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I recently got this DVD, and I know (I think) there are supposed to be some additional home movies hidden somewhere. The only ones I have found are the Dawn Wells/Christmas/unwrapping a coat home movie that you get when you answer the trivia questions, and the hidden "coconut" on the Professor's hut special section (I think that's where it was). Are there any others that you guys are aware of?

BTW, when I saw that there were supposed to be outtakes and behind-the-scene comparisons, I was so excited. Then, I found out they're from the TV movie! I wanted outtakes and such from the original series! I was so disappointed, though the DVD is still pretty good.

Hm. Wow, I haven't seen either of those two groups of movies... The main batch of home movies is in the 'Mary Ann and Ginger's Hut' section...they're not hidden or anything...

Hi, Courtney. Actually, I was wrong--the "coconut" is on the Special Feaures main page. If you click from choice-to-choice in different directions, you can get a coconut to appear sitting on top of one of the huts. Clicking on it brings up home movies of the different stars of the TV movie being driven up and down a beach--nothing very exciting. If you go to the Professor's hut, and click from choice-to-choice in different directions, you can get bubbles to appear over one of the test beakers. Clicking on it brings up a home movie of Dawn Wells and her cat. And answering so many trivia questions brings up a home movie of Dawn Wells at Christmas unwrapping a present--a new coat.

I really wanted to find some more home movies of the show, though.

Yeah, the whole driving thing is...dumb. I just stared at it. LOL.

Cats and coats. **rolls eyes** Look at me running to put the DVD in. (Wow, I'm so sarcastic today - I'm sorry...). I agree, I woulda liked more from the actual show... Bah..

No, no, be sarcastic all you want. I'm often that way,

.

The movie was cool, but I was so disappointed in the special features. I wanted home movies and bloopers from the original series.

I've been thinking about the next part of my fanfic--I'll probably type it on Monday, I hope. Right now, I'm fighting a cold, and all I want to do is lie in bed.

Yeah, I had heard that there were deleted scenes on the DVD too. Apparently, my sources were wrong. I was a little upset.

Aww, I hope you feel better. I'm also looking forward to the next part of the story.
