    Great, great video! The Professor is the most important character on Gilligan's Island. He is the one who saves them by constantly providing knowledge and anecdotes of various mishaps the rest of the castaways face! He is my favorite character on an underrated show.

    Did anyone wonder why the Professor managed to pack all these reference books for a three hour tour; not to mention it's hard to imagine he woke up one morning and decided he'd go for a boat ride. Gilligan's Island was almost 100% comic fantasy. Loved it.

    Great video. They were all amazing, but Russell Johnson had some incredibly funny scenes, especially in the dream sequences. --Such as when he played Mary Ann's doctor and talked like Cary Grant (Rumiszeclumis disease). Or when he was the old man imprisoned in the castle and claimed a kiss (by Dawn Wells) could turn him into a prince. "Don't believe everything you hear girlie!" I sent him a message once when he had his website to thank him for the laughs and received a nice reply. He's definitely missed.

The Professor and Mary Ann transposed minds. Mr. Howell and Gilligan transposed minds. Ginger and Igor transposed minds - by the additional strength from Igor's body, this enabled Ginger to free the rest of them.

    Even as a child, I laughed at how the scriptwriters for "Gilligan's Island" cheerfully mixed elements of wildly disparate cultures from all over the world in their stories. At various times during the series, we were treated to voodoo and zombies (both Haitian), Mayan pottery (Central American), taboos (South Polynesian), headhunters (South American), gorillas (Central African), and totem poles (Inuit). Oh, well; if Shakespeare could have Cleopatra playing billiards, have striking clocks and books with leaves in ancient Rome, and give Bohemia a seacoast, we can cut commercial TV some slack.
