  • A truly great comedy team. Much loved, obviously. Is it just me, or does anyone else see Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in these two guys?

  • Loved Gilligan's Island...

  • oh, this is disappointing I figured gilligan would fire up a 'jay' to mess with schafer's head hahahahah

  • Jesus, he didn't age!!!!!!!!

  • Bob Hale was so gracious and awesome! Alot of our current so called "stars" could learn alot from him.

  • I never knew this show existed , guess I was busy that decade .

  • I remember the skipper being called "Jonas Roughly"!

  • @anglerfly It was Grumby or something like that. I think it was heard over their radio, he was wanted for some crime back home, or related to the USSMinnow.

  • @SlackerSlayer Yes.

  • @anglerfly They say it in part two :>

  • Alan Hale looks incredible.

  • The decade of corny sweaters.

  • I've read nothing but great things about these incredible individuals.

  • Found memories growing up in 70'-80's with shows like this.

  • What memories of the show. I don't believe that I missed a single show

  • WOW talk about memories:) when the reunion was on i was 22 years old loooooooooovvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee­dddddddddddd the show BIG TIME

  • Man I miss them...good memories here.

  • @princelv33 Me too.

  • Such good memories I have of this show. and t's nice after 40 odd years to finally get to know a little about the people behind the characters of Gilligan's Island.

  • It's like Bob Denver became Gilligan.

  • I would have loved to met the whole cast, especially Bob Denver. RIP

  • Alan Hale, Jr. was a gentleman right to the end. A class act, an Oliver Hardy, he was a great man. Gone a little too soon (just 68).

  • Gilligan's Island, my favorite tv show, it's sad to know gilligan, skipper and the howell's are gone now.

  • They say that Alan Hale, Jr. was the nicest guy. Everyone who worked on the show reportedly talk about how he treated everyone with respect and was always laughing and keeping morale up.

  • Alan Hale, Jr. (the Skipper) looks and sounds just like his dad! Go catch some of his father's work in those old Warner Bros. movies from the 40s. So much resemblance in physical features and voice. Some really jolly family!

  • @kincaide67 I remember seeing a photograph of Alan Hale Sr. in a book about films. The resemblance between father son was eerie.

  • holy shit...the skip got younger............botox wasn't even an option in those days

  • Ross Shafer, talk about retro

  • The Skipper required product plugs to appear on the show. I love the Skipper.

  • God Bless Bob and Alan.

  • I can't figure out why they were wearing sweaters on a hot set.

  • My 7 year old nephew and 9 year old niece love this show in the year of 2011.

  • A letterman show duplicate? Gosh, why are all late night shows like this ?

    It's amazing how the skipper looks the same (just a little fatter)

    Does anyone know if there was a final episode where they got rescued ?

  • @roadmonitoroz I don't know if anybody answered your question from a month ago about Gilligan's Island, but yes, they did do a special episode where they all got rescued. I believe it was in 1982 or 1983. They all got rescued and rejoined society but for some reason they all went back to the island and got stranded again.

  • @ldchappell1 Thanks for letting me know... No, no one else told me. I'll have to keep an eye out for that episode :D

  • @roadmonitoroz "Rescue From Gilligan's Island." A different actress played Ginger. At the end of the movie, they went out for a celebration of sorts on the SS Minnow II and again got ship wrecked on the same island. Their was at least another movie - maybe 2. I think 2 more. 1 where they get rescued again and one where the Harlem Globetrotters has to play some silly game there. That's what I recall. Maybe try Wikipedia to confirm.

  • @kincaide67 Thanks for that... I'll have to go check it out.

  • @roadmonitoroz Just watched the 1st pt and yes - there were 3 movies. I think Jim Backus (Mr. Howell) passed away either after the 1st reunion or the 2nd. They had some guy playing his son on the last one.

  • I miss those days.

  • hey you now the dude that created this show died just this july! :(

  • Ross Shafer? R.I.P Bob Denver. I think it's cool that he never hated the character that made him famous--the way a lot of actors do. He even wore the hat.

  • Thank you so much for posting, so nice to see the cast together again. I grew up with GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, and when Russell Johnson came to town, I was able to tape the event for my public access TV show (SEE: russell johnson book signing). He was so kind and it was a thrill to meet him. Watching this clip was so enjoyable, thank you again for posting.

  • I really wish someone would post some full episodes of the original Gilligans island?? PLEASE????..

  • Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of Gilligan's Island, passed away this month on the 12th. RIP Sherwood Schwartz.

  • "I would've made a bigger deal of it if I knew there would be reruns in 1988"

    And here in we are in 2011, and its STILL popular.

  • Im in luv with bob denver. im 13 years old. RIP BOB DENVER!!! :(

  • Alan Hale Jr's father was one of the original 3 Musketeers! Alan Hale Sr. and they looked almost exactly alike!

  • That F-! Idiot Shafer..he ruined "The Late Show"..and he ruined this"Gilligan's Island"TV reunion.

  • gillagans days are spent working at some 711 in some midd west town , taking shit from some hot shot 19 year skate board punk asking fof a slurpe

  • Skipperrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

  • Alan Hale looked good on this reunion show back in 1988, and everybody else in the cast looked good too. :)

  • Where have the good clean shows gone.

    Now all you get is murder, blood,violance.

    where has good clean funny shows gone.

    (THANKS ROSS SHAFER) For making my childhood a good clean one.

    full thumbs up HNK222 good work.

  • Hi my name is 17Watman, I'm 18 years old and Gilligan's Island is my number 1 favorite show in the universe!!

  • Rest in peace Bob Denver, Alan Hale,Jr., Jim Backus, and Natalie Schafer :)

  • Rest in peace Bob Denver :)

  • RIP Gilligan He died 5 days before my BD-2005 I LOVE Gilligan he was so oddly cute

  • Ok, I'll say it , Ross Shafer looks like a parody from a character made by Joe Piscopo. If you dont know who Joe Piscopo is I'm old as Hell. Thanks Alot.

  • I'm feeling old, 1988 Gilligan was all gray haired and it's 2011. We'll sonny I remember coming home from school and watching reruns in the 70's. Holy #(*%, WTF. Where has the time gone?

  • @YeahOkTerrific When your 60, 1 year is 1/60 of your life, when your 5, 1 month is 1/60 of your life, exactly equal to the year when your 60. So time really is going by faster when you get older.

  • @lissybliss srsly

  • Gilligan aged like a hundred Years, The skipper looks............the same.

  • Joan Rivers was the original host of the Fox late show. Joan Rivers was fired after the ratings sagged and there were problems behind the scenes. Arsenio Hall was eventually hired as a replacement. The late show was to be cancelled but after the show rebounded because of Arsenio Fox changed its mind wanted to keep him. Arsenio Hall had already commited to other projects was unable to do the Late Show. Ross Shaffer was hired to replace Arsenio. Arsenio eventually got his own show.

  • If you've ever seen the movie Robin Hood with Errol Flynn, the guy who played LIttle John was Alan Hale Sr. You can see the resemblence very clearly and the way they laugh and react is exactly the same.

  • this show rules !

  • Ross Schaefer blows Goats

    

  • i loved the video game for nintendo when i was kid

  • Skipper hasn't changed a bit. Wow.

  • Ross Shafer was a Seattle TV personality, known for a very funny local comedy show called Almost Live.That show often deserved to be seen by a wider audience, though it was actually better after Ross Shafer left. It was also a very early gig for Joel McHale of "community".

  • I hate it when people say:

    "The professor could make a computer (or what ever) but he couldnt build a raft?"

    Guess what, if he made a raft the show would be over in 2 episodes.

    Episode 1: Shipwrecked. (Series Opener)

    Episode 2: Back to Civilization. (Series Finale)

  • Didn't Ross Shafer take over this late show after Joan Rivers left/got fired/ etc?  I think Joan got the show after her post Tonight Show debacle.

  • I used to jag off to ginger when i was a kid

  • The good guys Bob Denver did great I thought it was a good show

  • i watched this and my friend did shes REALLY young i watched it with her and we luved it even in black and white

  • I will always remember Bob Denver as Maynard G. Krebbs.

    (Don't try to figure out my age, LOLOL).

  • He could make a molecular acting additive but couldn't fix a hole in the boat, the hell with the Professor, the skipper was the one to blame for no boat.

  • Awesome upload ive never seen this , thank you

  • Gilligan looks like the episode where his hair turned white

  • Wow, Alan Hale hasn't changed that much.

  • The Skipper invented Slick 50??

  • wow bob denver looks exactly the same but with white hair

  • I love Gilligan's Island.

    Thanks for posting this.

  • I don't remember Ross Shafer but I do remember seeing this. It was so great to finally see all of them together again. Used to watch the episodes when it first aired as a kid when I was trying to learn English, my favorites being with a Japanese sailor. Still a fan. XD

  • i miss this show so bad

  • Excellent. I remember watching this when it aired so long ago. Who can forget Jim and Tammy Faye? What pair of ripoff artists. Thanks so much for posting this though. I loved Gilligan's Island and this is the final time every cast member was together after the show ended. Great seeing them all again.

  • Who else thinks gilligan sounds like colin from Whos line is it anyways?

  • @lissybliss Someone who had a TV career before you were baking in your moms uterus.

  • Welcome to Mullett central!

  • Bob Denver comes across very cool not the goofey nerd he portrayed in the series

  • @rowgun500 That's showbiz!

  • @lissybliss Ross got used to host a show in Seattle, on KOM04, back in the late '80s.

  • thank you for posting these i'm like the #1 gilligan's island fan.

  • Comment removed

  • Did sherwood swartz produce this show?i know he produced the Brady Bunch.

  • Someone needs to invent a time machine and tell the dudes from G.I. that the "stupid dumbass meaningless funny shit" they did in 1966 would continue kicking ass until 2010 and beyond.

    Bet they wouldn't have believed it at the time.

  • Nailed me: I just came home from school, grabbed glass of milk and graham crackers ... and just laughed and enjoyed. Great wholesome entertainment! This just made me smile!

  • Nailed me: I just came home from school, grabbed glass of milk and graham crackers ... and just laughed and enjoyed. Great wholesome entertainment!

  • WE WONT SEE ANOTHER SUPER SHOW ANYMORE IT WOULD BE IN LONG TIME TO FIND THIS GREEEEAT SHOW

    GIIIIIIIILIIIIIIGAN !

  • GILLIGAN !!!  ♥

  • It's sad, the only ones left are MaryAnn, Ginger, and the Professor. I really loved this show.

  • Host: did you think it was strange, didn't you think it was very odd.

    Host: The Professor could make a Tela cummunication Satellite out of a Clam shell.

    Host: but he couldn't build a raft that would float.

  • This is the best show in the world, not like the crapy ty shows right now

  • Gilligan's Island > LOST

  • Bob Denver hasn't changed a bit.

    Minus the gray hair. Seriously.

  • Gilligan's Island is love <3 <3 <3

  • Hale Jr. and Denver were great together, like an old-time vaudeville show. It's one of the reasons they were so appealing to me when I was a kid. And so was the rest of the cast. No, it wasn't high class or thought-provoking, but it was funny and silly and guaranteed to make a kid laugh. What more could anyone ask?

  • Skipper did not even age that much...

  • R.I.P. Gilligan, The Skipper and the Howells.

  • Gilligan's Island..the orignial LOST

  • they were followed by the Bakkers??? how bizarre is that?!

  • Oh My Gosh!! I ~L*O*V*E~ Gilligans Island, And I'm 14years Old! I've Loved It Since I Was 5!!! It's My FAVORITE EVERRR =D

  • he's sooo OOOLLLD!! but i love gilligan!!

  • @73Stargazer He's also soooo dead

  • Man , what memories.

  • God love em all. Only three are with us now Russel Johnson, Tina, and Dawn

  • Wow, is that Ross Shafer? all time greatest tv show host. he also invented 'Snapple"

  • for some reason i remember another gilligan's island cast reunion back in early 1982...i just remember bob denver and alan hale jr wisecracking about the ideas behind the series...

  • omg the skipper looks EXACTLY the same.

  • Who the devil is Ross Shafer? I've never heard of the idiot. Oh and he is totally unfunny. Bob will always be Maynard G Krebbs to me. I don't know why but I knew Gilligan was his family name. Sherwood was a vey hard task master but he knew how to make this show work. I remember Robert Reed said he had a few contretemps with him on the set of the The Brady Bunch. Alan Hale was a real trouper. The look on Alan's face when he hits that tree, just priceless.

  • Thank you so much for posting! I've never seen this before, it was so nice to see the castaways back together. Did you know that the RESCUE movie is on you tube? Very cool. Fans of Russell Johnson should type into search: russell johnson interview. it's amazing. Also, if you type into search: russell johnson book signing, you can hear fans discuss the show as he talks to fans and is interviewed by the press.

  • Class acts.

  • Alan Hale seemed like such a sweet guy.

  • Bob Denver still sounds like a young guy!!! Amazing!

  • They showed this series so often, that I grew to HATE it. Stupid people, doing stupid things on film for a buck.

  • lissybliss - The Late Show was originally hosted by Joan Rivers. The show wasn't a hit & Rivers eventually left. There were guest hosts, and Ross S was one of them. This is the ONLY *full* cast reunion ever. The show episode here is not on the DVD set of Gilligan's Island because Fox wanted too much money for it. Get Real Player, and download all parts to this - it is rare. I never heard of the reunion or the show before. TVSeriesFinale*com/tv-show/gil­ligans-island-full-cast-reunio­n/#more-7899

  • The long running competition about who is hotter, Ginger or Mary Ann.

  • @UtahMike41 ...Mary Ann definitely.

  • @megayahabibi I will agree. I'm more into the girl next door look.

  • Fucking hell...man did they dress ugly in the 80's. Look at that sweater. And that hair.

    Losers.

  • @cuttock haters

  • @cuttock - why do you go out of your way to be nasty & rude aboyt people from an earler deacde?! That was s style then. I would object more to the stupid, lame excuse for 'shorts' today- all the way to the knees. That costs more for the company, keeps more heat/seat in summertime, & baggy pants now look like potato sacks. Not complimentary to those with good builds at all. Then I've seen kids with their 'shorts' 1/2 way down their butts & boxers. Charming. Hope the style changes.

  • @harry4health - correction: It should have "heat/steam"

  • Ross Shafer got this gig because of his success on Almost Live in Seattle. Too bad he sucked on the Late Show. LOL

  • I loved these people Giligand the skiper everybody aw man magic just magic thank you I was raised on gilligand Island.

  • Awesome interview! I was unaware of this interview taking place; thank you for sharing it.

  • Alan Hale was such a wonderfully sweet man. I love them all! RIP Alan, Bob, Jim and Natalie.

  • @Kaffyboy - GREAT show! A movie IS coming out. However, I have read it's going to be polluted by the typical liberal Hollywood propaganda on their sexualizing, etc. Can't let a classic remake stay open to all, instead of wanting to push sex for money. I hope it doesn't, but not surprised it is adding unneeded sexual stuff to it.

  • Cosby Sweater!!

  • Sad that we lost Gilligan and the Skipper

  • holy shite

    Alan Hale looked EXACTLY the same after 25 years

  • do anybody have the TNT Promo with the song "Hey Gilligan Island Man"? It's got like a reggae beat to it.

  • Alan Hale's looked like he was so friendly. I read he opened up a resturant called the Skipper's crab shack.

  • I remember Ross Shafer on "Almost Live" in Seattle.

  • I had taped this rare last appearance with all the castaways. Unfortunately it was erased accidently...Thank you so much for uploading it.

  • i love Gilligan/Bob Denver

  • wow thanks so much for uploading this :)

  • Wow, hard to imagine a time when Ross Shafer wasn't the biggest name in late night! Oh, wait...

  • This reunion show is as far in the past from today (22 years) as the original series was from when this taped. Time flies...

  • why dave chapelle to play the professor?

    the professor was attractive

  • @ShtemeTeamBrad What?

    That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard, there are no plans for a Gilligan's Island movie! Do you know how absolutely stupid that would be? As far as I'm concerned it's horrendous gossip. Trust me this will never make it through. Perhaps ten years ago, they used to play it on tv a lot more, also films of tv shows were popular then. Now though? I don't expect it to get through the studio executives.

  • this is so awesome

  • ... is that Jack Mack (and the Heart Attacks)?

  • I love Gilligan's Island! It was such a good show! Not like the garbage they play on TV nowadays :(

  • Common now, you might feel nostalgic but there are many great shows now. I'm addicted to Fringe now.

  • @redmanrulz010 my thoughts exactly, those were better days! what happened?!

  • @redmanrulz010 AMEN TO THAT

  • @redmanrulz010 u sound like my mum :S hahah gilligans island is best show

  • three left and one that doesnt want to be known as Ginger

  • gilligan rocks, wish they were all still alive

  • wow, that was the longest shill for a product ever. real classy.

  • To the last posters. Why don't you guys go and find a page that you can enjoy, instead of pissing on someone elses. Gilligan's Isand is awesome.

  • At timer 4:22 to 4:27; Gilligan [Bob Denver] said my hair is kind of white now; But that say oh it probably figured it happened in the island now and Im going back to have it fixed. This is funny as Season 3 Episode 8 called Gilligans Island Hair Today , Gone Tomorrow that actually did have Gilligans hair turn white as result of a island made bleach.

  • I remember that episode. One of my favorites :)

  • seems funny to see bob denver being himself.

  • OOPS! My bad...

    Robert Osbourne "Bob" Denver (January 9, 1935  September 2, 2005)

  • Bob Denver and Dawn Wells, Russel Johnson and Tina Luis are still with us.

    Dawn lives up the road from me in Morrow Bay.

    Natalie Shaffer, Jim Backus and Alan Hale jr.....have passed on.

    Now you know.

  • Actually I think Ginger and Maryann are still alive. I know Maryann is. Now the tough one, who's hotter, Ginger or Maryann, most people felt Maryann was, I always thought so, I think the show did too given the short shorts and tied up top.

  • Who out of the cast is still alive if any?? I no gilligan isnt

  • @Romaniac100 no is alive anyore the guy that played gilligan was the youngest and the last to live

  • Wrong
