7. The pilot to Gilligan's Island was filmed at what tropical location?

HAWAII

8. What subject did the Professor teach before being shipwrecked on Gilligan's Island?

SCIENCE (he was a high-school teacher but was addressed as Professor, something I never understood)

9. What was the Skipper's affectionate nickname for Gilligan on Gilligan's Island?
LITTLE BUDDY

I'm not sure that one's quite fair - he called him several things!

12. Which of the shipwrecked passengers on Gilligan's Island insisted on taking a bath each evening at 8:05pm?

Okay, I've seen 96 episodes, and I have no idea. I've never seen that anywhere.

Here are some more ideas:

-Which castaways didn't appear in the pilot?
THE PROFESSOR and MARY ANN, GINGER was replaced.

-Why was Ginger in an evening dress?
She boarded the boat the evening after a singing engagement.

-What was Mary Ann's specialty?
Coconut cream pies.

Thanks...

That's what I was confused on too...high school teacher being called professor.

They are telling me that Mr. Howell was the one taking the bath every day at 8:05 P.M. I've seen every episode too and couldn't remember that one....The only one I can really remember taking a bath was Gilligan when he thought he was Mary Ann.
