Nice job on your spelling here, now they are alerting your posts, but hey they don't alert posts so it must be a miracle they are getting alerted. What a phony bunch they can be! 🙂

Little known facts about the pilot episode
The cast was The Skipper, Gilligan, A millionaire couple, all played by the same actors in the series. A school teacher and 2 waitresses, played by other actors. The theme song was also very different. It was written and sung by producer Sherwood Schwartz.

There was a tragedy at the same time they were shooting the pilot episode.
Does anyone know what event delayed filming?

Man you must have watched all the repeats of Gilligan's Island.

I know I had a crush on Maryann, Ginger was too Hollywood for me.

I know, and that makes us old rather we want to admit it or not.

Do you ever get to a point where you just don't give a crap?

I know I do.

We posted at the same time.

I figured that was it given the time period of the show and how momentous that assasination was.

Amazing, right after I posted the answer.

Yes, probably before you time!

I remember my Mom crying and I asked here what was wrong and she said they just killed President Kennedy. Of course I didn't know who he was at the time as I was too young just that it made my Mom sad.

I saw the time stamps, good guess
I had no idea what the tragic event was until I saw a video.
I remember I was.outdide playing with a balsa wood airplane with rubber band propeller.
Grandma called me in to tell me, I was about 4 years old but realized how bad it was.
