Coconut cream pie is my favorite thanks to Gilligan's Island.
And mary anns banana cream pie❤
Being that close to the road, the lagoon scenes had to present lots of challenges. There are times you could sense the voices were dubbed in scenes at the lagoon. Thanks for taking us there, Rick. Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy New Year.
TheNortheastAl - you forgot to wish him a “Happy Kwanzaa”!
Happy Kwanzaa Rick, you big bad voodoo daddy.
When my granddaughter was 3. ( 2 years ago) she got a kitten and named him Gilligan because she loves watching Gilligans Island. There are several videos of them on my page.
I just saw Alan Hale on an episode of the Andy Griffith show. He even calls Barney "little buddy" several times.
Yep, Big Jim Pruett was his character's name. That "Little Buddy" thing is just the contribution the writers (and producers) dig when they hire somebody....what can they, personally, bring to the character that isn't on the page (think Megan Mellally's high-pitched voice for her "Will & Grace" Karen character....the writers didn't know she could do that, and it wasn't until several eps in that she ratcheted up her voice's pitch even higher)!
I remember that episode, Barney thought he was going to lose Thelma Lou to him.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a Tale A Tale of a fateful trip that started from this studio beside a parking strip
Nice.
🤩😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Never forget that tune. It was time to come in and sit down to watch! All 5 kids and Mom.
I love these "on location " videos! We are truly blessed living here in Southern California with its rich history in the film & television industry. It's great that you make these videos to share with subscribers that live far away & are unable to travel to LA to see these fabulous sights for themselves. Thanks!!! 🙂
Agreed
Yes, surprised and sad at the same time. Gilligans Island and Andy Griffith Show my two all time Favs. Still watching em today. Well done Rick, keep em coming.
It's like going on a religious pilgrimage! What a sacred site. They did such a good job making the lagoon, it looked pretty natural so I always assumed they shot it out in the countryside, not next to a highway! Too bad they didn't keep it has a place for crews to go relax on breaks.
I know what you mean. As a child I always wondered why they had the lagoon as their focal point for everything except the pilot episode when they were actually on a beach with the SS Minnow!
And of course all the other scenes didn’t look like they were on a tropical island with the sun beaming down. It was a man-made set!
It was actually filmed on an island in the Bahamas near nassau
@@rust1kwithonlygamingconten333
Dawn Wells said the beach sequences (pilot episode, etc) were shot on Kauai.
The pilot was filmed in Hawaii, as was the first "aired" episode. And the Echo Park lake and island were used to film the second episode as they built the sets and created the backlot lagoon. Because it would get so noisy from traffic on the 405 freeway a lot of times they had to film the exterior shots in the very early mornings or late afternoons to avoid the sounds of cars and trucks in the distance.
Only the pilot episode of Gilligan's Island was filmed entirely in Hawaii.
The first aired episode "Two on A Raft" only uses the opening teaser from the pilot. All 98 episodes were shot entirely at CBS Radford and three episodes from Season 1 filmed some exterior scenes at Zumba Beach, Malibu.
Gilligan's Island was never filmed at Echo Park! That is false information posted on the internet which is not true. Again all 98 episodes from 1964-67 were shot entirely at CBS Radford in Studio City, Ca.
@@rp4254 where did you get this information?
Rick, thank you for taking us on a tour of the former Gilligan's Island set. That is very thoughtful of you especially for those of us who can't travel at the moment due to various reasons. I enjoy all your videos. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
They paved paradise and put up a parking garage!
Exactly!
Awesome job Rick! Thank you for all your research and history tour!! As a kid in the 60's, I loved Gilligan's Island as well and STILL love the legacy!

It's hard to imagine that they couldn't think of a better use for the lagoon, than to fill it in and build an eyesore on it.
I think the lagoon was used in "The Night of the Sudden Death." There was a sequence where Jim West wrestled with an alligator and the location looked very familiar. The Wild Wild West was shot at the same studio at around the same time.
Yes, good catch! I was thinking it looked similar after going back and watching that episode. Another great show from a better time. RIP Robert Conrad.
Yeah that was one my Dad and I loved to watch together.😉🙏🛥️🏞️
FYI, the studio is typically open to the public one day a year for a charity event. Used to be 4th of July fireworks, last I checked they do a 5K run or some such (not on 4-July), but probably allow "family" (cough cough) to attend. I went to the 4th of July several times, and they let you roam over most of the lot. Some stages were open, some of the office buildings as well. Recommend going to the new charity event if you want a rare opportunity to actually see around the lot.
As someone else posted on this video, there is a "Lagoon Building", on the far side of the parking lot from the street. The building name sign is even in the Gilligan's Island titles font. It is possible the lagoon was large enough to have been across both the building an parking lot areas, I suppose.
The studio was originally built by Mack Sennett, the Keystone Cops producer. He fell on hard times, and it was owned by multiple "Poverty Row" studios after him, including Republic Pictures. They had an up and coming cowboy movie star named John Wayne working for them at the time. There is a some sort of studio paint or fabrication shop right at the end of New York street, and if you look in the windows you can see the old "Republic" sign kept there.
This is amazing I love Gilligans Island
I bet you that is haunted Skyline ghost in there cuz I'll be bird in that show God was having parties in there you got to start being my Ouija board when I go there any cool👻👻👻👻👻
Hey Rick. Thanks for the videos. The Sater Parking Stucture Lagoon you showed on Radford does not sit atop the location of the lagoon. There was a small park located in the lot across a road on the other side of the structure. That is where the lagoon was. There is now a 3 year old or so office building with parking on the 2 lower floors called "The Lagoon Building" on that spot. You cannot see it from the street. I know because I work there.
Way cool
so would that place the lagoon behind the parking garage rick showed in his video?
@@ChristhirtythreeAD Yes. And across a road.
@@mybingobrain A road appropriately named Gilligan's Island Rd. :-)
Thank you for this! It’s my all time favourite show!!
Thank you, this is amazing, I enjoy all the history of these beloved shows!!
Rick looks like his voice sounds. 📺
I agree.
Yes but I can wrap my head around how he pronounces his name compared to how it’s spelled!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad you mentioned the noise because I was imagining how many shots they had to redo when someone blew a horn over dialogue etc.
Gilligan’s Island is one of my favorite shows too. Thank you so much for the video! Very cool....happy holidays😄♥️
Great video Rick. I grew up in Studio City and at that time, what is now CBS was Republic Studios. We used to ride our bikes behind the studio parallel to the LA River you showed. Brought back fond memories.
That was awesome! Thanks Rick! I've always wanted to go to Gilligan's Island and now I (virtually) have... so nostalgic! Thanks again!
Great step back in time! One of my favorite shows growing up,Thanks Rick! Merry Christmas!☃️
I was an extra from 97 to 06 and CBS Radford was on the list. Mostly pilot tv shows that didnt make it, but I liked that lot a lot
You have a FANTASTIC channel. So dedicated. So thorough. So enjoyable to watch your videos! Thank you and keep up the great job!
Thank you Rick! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Happy New Year.
You've done videos like this before (outside of Desi Lu studios I believe) and I'm glad you're doing them again! Your work remains very positive and very professional. In fact, your work is the best present a classic tv fan could have! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you!
I enjoyed this. I hope you can take more field trips in the future!
Hey Rick great video! I love your excitement and enthusiasm. Those alone make these videos fun to watch. I love Gilligan’s Island too and I’ve always wanted to see this so thank you for doing it.
Thanks, Rick for the throwback to childhood's fun times!
Thanks for taking us along visually to these places a lot of us might not ever get to.
I love all of your videos. I appreciate you for making the trip to show us were it was filmed. Keep up the great work!
Re the lagoon location and the sound of the neighborhood: this is a common problem with ALL location filming. It is almost impossible to mic effectively outdoors. Everything gets in the soundtrack. Wind, birds, traffic noise, aircraft, etc. Most location shots have the entire dialog dubbed in post production. Then there is weather and lighting. In LA they have great weather. It can still interrupt you filming. High winds can happen any time of the year. Outdoor light changes throughout the day. When you are on a budget and have a studio available, the choice is obvious.
Love your show Rick and greatly appreciate all the work you do. Merry Christmas from me in Canada.
My childhood memories have been paved over RIP Gilligan’s Island. You touched my life in so many ways growing up. As a kid it was my favorite SitCom.
Thank you for the video! This was my favorite show as well!
I just saw the other video from 2 years ago when you thought they may take your channel down. I'm glad your still able to produce new content.
Love the vids. Keep em coming !!!
Thanks for the road trip literally down memory lane. 😁 Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays Rick, great video
Good video, Rick. I've been to that studio complex a number of times, once when my late aunt was was a guest star playing a member of one of Bob's therapy groups on "The Bob Newhart Show" in the 1970s. L.A. is so rich in TV & motion picture history. I live in the South Pasadena area where a lot of filming takes place, mainly because it's so close to L.A. and looks like middle-class "Anywhere USA."
One of the most creative and fun shows of all time!!
Thank you!!🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for your work I really really appreciate this information happy new year
Merry Christmas Rick. Thanks for the early present.
Very cool, Rick, thank you! Love how you piece everything together. Can’t wait to see what else you have lined up for more location videos.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Doug!
Cool video! I love seeing location places! Merry Christmas!
I love your channel Rick!! The Gilligan's Island stage is the same one where I was part of the studio audience for the filming of "That 70's Show" back in '99. I was also told, though I'm not sure of the accuracy, that it was "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" stage as well. I enjoyed being there very much, but I may have appreciated it much more if I know its historic significance. While I was watching "That 70's Show," they were filming "Third Rock from the Sun" next door.
This is really cool to see. Thank you for showing where they filmed Gilligan’s Island Rick!
Wow ! Loved this ! Thanks for sharing !
Fascinating, sound stage designers dont get enough credit for their realistic interior creations, i was virtually raised on Gilligans Island and inside the Brady Bunch house, although i like really wanted to be in I Dream Of Jeanies bottle, alone with her, yes master.
Really interesting.
Thank you for doing this video.
I remember on a previous trip to Honolulu, a tour guide showed us the marina where that opening shot was taken.
More of these videos please!!!
I heard season one opening was filmed in Hawaii, season 2 onward is Alamitos Bay Marina in Long Beach.
Cool video, I always love watching your videos you do a great job 👍🏻
Awesome! I really enjoyed this video. Happy Holidays to you!
Thank you for taking us on this tour Rick! Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas to you too! You are welcome
The Skipper used to own a Seafood restaurant by the beach.
True, although I think it was on "Restaurant Row' on La Cienega Blvd. It was called "Alan Hale's Lobster Barrel". He used to greet the customers, was very gregarious, called everybody "little buddy". Seemed to be a catch phrase of his, may even pre-date Gilligan's Island.
Alan Hale wore his Skipper hat all the time. He loved being recognized as the Skipper!
There are so many who will never get to travel there. Bless you.
Loved it !! Thanks Rick !! Great to "see" you too, that made a special connection for me . Looking forward to more on location shots!!
Chuck
way cool. Thanks Handsome for this holiday video.
Hey there Rick, thank you for yet another fascinating insight into the history of Gilligans Island! Thanks for researching and actually locating the spot where it was filmed so many years ago and then sharing it with your audience! Cheers from Australia!
Warmest regards, Martin
Many thanks Martin! Great to know you’re watching me from across from Australia! Thank you kindly
That was neat, always loved Gilligan’s Island, thanks!
One of my favorite shows too. It was very interesting. I love the first episode where you showed the building that you can see at the lagoon. I see it now when I watch it.
I love Gilligan's Island too, it was one of my favorite show to watch as a kid. Weird how certain things is different looking now days than then. Where the parking lot is, is where the lagoon was.
That's great! More like this with you in them would be fantastic. It was exactly how I expected it to be..it was a tv show after all...Happy Holidays.
Pretty cool! Who woulda thought?! Thanks for sharing, Rick!
I visited CBS Studio Center back in the mid-90s, to see a taping of the kids version of American Gladiators (Gladiators 2000), which one of Ryan Seacrest's first TV hosting jobs. What was the "Gladiator Arena" is stage 3 at CBSSC, and directly across from the present-day Stage 2. At that time, the original Roseanne was taped in Stage 2, and I can safely assume that where they're doing the current revival (The Connors) in the same soundstage as well. That place has a LOT of TV history there--Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart (both of his '70s and 80s sitcoms), A Different World, Seinfeld, That '70s Show, and so on. Excellent video 👍
Thanks! Amazing! Creative production.. I appreciate this.
Very cool!
Always dig your vids !
Thank you Rick for sharing your DREAM TRIP with us. AWESOME!♡
Never missed the show when it aired.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
🎄🎅❤🤶🦌🎄🎁
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!
@@ricknineg thanks. ❤👌
I’ve worked in radford a bunch of times.. I don’t think that the actual lagoon was where the parking lot is.. there’s actually a spot just on the other side of that lot, where it goes down a small hill, and currently has a bunch of temp bungalows..
It’s been a few years, but the lagoon has been reduced down to a small puddle... with a bunch of koi fish in it.. rumor has it the fish have names of all that were on the island.
In 2007 I walked in the filled in lagoon site amongst the prefab bungalows. The little Koi puddle with the little Home Depot bridge over it was there an is a designated homage to the lagoon. Around 2016 or so all that was replaced by a multi story parking / production office building. It is officially called “The Lagoon Building.”
Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas.
Great video. So cool to see where Gilligan’s Island....was.
Your awesome thank you for what you do ,I really appreciate it
Gilligan's Island, Bewitched, Batman, and Star Trek. Basically how I spent my childhood evenings.
Thanks Rick! It was great to see you. ✨💕✨
Thank you! I loved that show!
Hey Rick that is sooo cool!👍😊 I knew it would be in a studio but. I thought some were filmed outside. Surprised! These are very cool! THANKS Rick
great job, my favorite show all my life,,,,,thanks.
Kool video thanks for a job well done I enjoy the work you do. Feliz Navidad y Happy New year b safe and have fun. 😎
Do you ever have meet and greets or even have times of doing these things live? How long does it take you to gather up all this info? You’re really knowledgeable about these classic shows! Love it!
Make sure to come to the life streams or you can ask these questions and I’ll be happy to answer in front of everyone
Rick this is Rick , thanks for going to the location, I grew up watching Gilligans Island before to school or after. I hate that so many things that meant so much to me in my youth, is now gone. Like the Gilligans Island Lagoon, me and my Parents use to go to 3 Cincinnati Reds Games a year from 1973 to 1979, and I cannot tell you the feeling I had seeing Riverfront Stadium in the distance and then walking in and getting your program to keep score and seeing Rose,Bench,Morgan,Perez,Foster,Griffey ,CONCEPCION,& GERONIMO. . Now Riverfront has been tore down, on me and my wife’s Honeymoon we saw the Mariners play in Seattle, in the King Dome , now they tore it down.😭
Nice. Cool vid.. keep'em coming.
I heard about the lagoon being made into a parking lot. Probably from either my oldest sister, or one of her friends. She made several trips to LA, to see Leonard Nimoy she ran one of his fan clubs. Meet Mr. Nimoy in St. Louis, at a convention after Star Trek two The Wrath of Khan. Thanks for taking us to the studio.
I was sort of expecting you to go into the building and perhaps have someone actually lead you on a tour as to what was where.
Exoress Delivers me too
Uh, it’s a parking garage. There’s NOTHING THERE!
Way to go Rick. Merry Christmas to you. I did enjoy your video.
Hate to say it, but "they paved paradise, put up a parking lot." (And yes, I hate that song.)
I like the song.🤗🤗
Yeah, that song is corny as hell, lol.
Went there last year. Pretty amazing. thanx man.
My pleasure
Very cool. Thanks Rick.
I wondered it would be a three hour video! Thanks for posting....
I thought at one point in a video you showed (or maybe someone else) that the "Lagoon" was filmed at a "Park" that had a "Pond"? They showed it. Thank you so much! For taking the trip. I bet a lot of people thought you were going to film "inside". I grew up watching Gilligans island when I came home from school. People would kid me I had a body like Gilligan in grade school. And I still do! Thanks again! Rick😃
Keep’Em Coming!!!! Great Work!!!!
More to come!
Great to see Rick. I remember on our first trip to Los Angeles we attended a taping of The Price is Right at CBS studios at 7800 Beverly Blvd. Since many shows are taped there, I thought Gilligan's Island was done there as well. There's even a parking structure next to the building. Which of course I thought was where the lagoon was. I was disappointed when I realized it was done at a different studio. Thanks for letting us see where the real studio is. Have a great Holiday Season! Take care.
do you mean taped and taping??
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 yes.
@@martinbeneteau309 hau'oli makahiki hou!
@Bob Sebring yes that's the studio I'm talking about. We went to the Farmers Market while we were waiting for our call into the studio.
If it helps, several seasons of All In The Family were taped at CBS Television City, so you definitely were surrounded by history!
When i was a kid I wanted to live on that island.....shoot I still want to.
Me too.
Same
Enjoy your videos.
🎅Merry Christmas 🎄
Great video thanks!!
More videos like the Gilligan's Island location show. It was Great! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Robert!
I´m a first timer!!Great video!!I love the filming location channels. I also liked Gilligans Island as a kid!!!Keep them coming! Greets from Germany!!
Hey there! Welcome to the channel! Over 1550 videos for you to enjoy
Happy and Healthy Holidays to you and your family!
There was a time that when you went to the universal tours at universal studios, part of the tour was seeing the actual sound stages. On one of these tours, it was the set of “All in the Family”.
Very interesting to see as I loved the show as a kid and always thought the lagoon was filmed at some actual island somewhere lol. Too bad there weren't actual street photos from that period available that you could frame next to how it looks today. Thanks for the trip!
