Gilligan's Planet - Intro

[antdude]

Wow, I never knew this one existed. :O

[Redflameman]

Whats with Gingers hair being white? Lol!

[GoblinXXX]

@Redflameman The Professor couldn't synthesize henna on the other planet, so she had to settle for peroxide.

[sneezyize]

@Redflameman Ginger's hair was white on the animated The New Adventures of Gilligan's Island back in 1974 - 75, as well.

[Redflameman]

@sneezyize

Yeah,in my opinion they ruined Ginger by turning her hair white. Red hair was one of her signature features.

[thahman187]

@Redflameman Tina Louise wanted nothing to do with Gilligan's Island after the series ended. They had to alter her look so they wouldn't be sued for using her likeness.

[soydelaceleste]

la quiero en español =D

[QBCNetwork]

The last Filmation network series before they concentrated highly on syndication.

[Martinntoxx]

I like the fact that they couldn't build a boat,but they went ahead and built a spaceship.

[JUGGERNAUTASSASIN123]

@Martinntoxx and yet in all the other episodes/seasons they build all other stuff lol

[JUGGERNAUTASSASIN123]

@Martinntoxx and yet in all the other episodes/seasons they build all other stuff lol

[wrestletube1]

This one is better than the so called better quality one. It has both sound channels.

[RomanoGiovanni]

I cannot believe they got the actors to do the voices on these horrible cartoons. Gilligan's Planet, Mork and Mindy, the Fonz....they got everyone to voice their own characters. Must not have been a strong actor's guild union back then!

[GoblinXXX]

@RomanoGiovanni The cartoons were also network projects, so I imagine the actors either got paid well, had contractual obligations, or both. But notice they couldn't get (or didn't want!) Tina Louise.

[gilliganfan1]

why

[rebekahmiller]

I never knew they created a cartoon based on the Gilligan's Island, well, with the difference of them being up in space. Wow. :0

[YaoiHuntressEarth]

Skipper's voice actor sounds like he's reading straight off script.

[EnvoyofDarkness]

Psh, this is nonsense....

They obvious would've made the ship out of coconuts like they did with just about everything else on the show

[digitalbots]

even in space Gilligan still screws it up for everybody lol

[blizzytiger]

Ginger went blond!

[rebekahmiller]

@blizzytiger Not just blonde, but platinum blonde like Judy Jetson.

[shortyblackwell]

I'm diggin this. Truly.

[sirdoccy]

"our adventures are the best by far"

[queenfreddie1991]

tmsan74 a lot better then todays junk great cartoon

[djminimoto]

Gilligan et al somewhere in outer space! I noticed that the insrumental theme is the same one for "The new adventures of Gilligan".

[djminimoto]

lehnerd57,that's true but it was just a cartoon.

[landrykkb]

Tina Louise was a Hollywood Diva long before it became a catch phrase we take for granted today.Gilligan's Island in an indirect way,sabotaged all of their careers.I don't even know if some of them received residuals from the re-runs.

[Maximara]

I checked and as was common in those days the cast did NOT get residuals from the re-runs. This made sense as few shows became popular enough for syndicated re-run revenue to be worth it. It wasn't until the mid 1970s that residuals became nearly defacto for TV series syndication.

[fl1992]

Gilligan's Planet on CBS sat morn cartoons from 1982-1983 was a little before my time.

[bluepandababii]

What is this? I wonder where Tina Louise was? Maybe she had some sense to stay out of it.

[TheDoctor394]

She did.

[kewanw16]

She declined she Dawn Wells had to play and voice both the movie star and mary ann

[landrykkb]

My understanding was that Tina Louise wasn't on talking or any sort of civilized terms with the cast after the original series ended on CBS.She felt it was beneath her.

[TheRebel2007]

Be thankfull the Professor didn't build a matter transporter!...

[AetherSingularity]

I'm pretty sure that's how the Black Mesa incident began.

[IBETHISNAMEISTAKEN]

I'm pretty sure that it's the reason the Combine came to Earth, too.

[jksonny]

I remember liking this cartoon for some reason.

Are there any cartoons on any channel on Saturday mornings these days?

[jnickholds080493]

hmm.. it just so happens that all the same people went with them on the boat.. If I was on a boat that got torn up at sea, I would not want to go in a space ship with them!

[edgemadboy]

I liked BOMBER, the little green alien!

[tmsan74]

i remember watching this. this is alot better that the crap cartoons they have on today.

[bigbenhillman07]

yeah, it was pretty cheesy and awful... but MAN did I love these silly cartoons when I was a kid back in the 80s! lol Saturday mornings were never so much fun :)

[naldo135]

era la isla de guilligan , no el planeta, ademas pongan videos en español

[SockBoy65]

I never saw this

[quitejaded]

What is up with everybody going to fuckin' space and landing on dinosaurs and shit?

[MulliganBloom]

Did Tina Louise think she was too good to do the voice of Ginger in this fine program? Not to worry Mary Anne, the real hottie, has got it covered.

[Actionguy1]

You are CORRECT my friend! Tina Louise thought she was WAY too good for this!

I have to agree, Mary Ann was the TRUE hottie!

[Zezlemet]

Time out! you mean the proffesor could build a space worthy rocket but boat that could cross the ocean?

[blkguy620]

I liked the Brady Bunch, I thought it was the only parody of a tv show besides Addams Family that was spot on. But yea, please don't do Gilligan's Island, it would be just as lame as the Beverly Hillbillies movie.

[paynow]

As if the idea of seven people from ridiculously divergent socio-economic wasn't implausable enough...

[paynow]

I MEANT to say "As if the idea of seven people from ridiculously divergent socio-economic backgrounds being stranded on an island wasn't implausable enough...

[shakmooll]

god what 70s show DIDDNT go to space

[001989]

Here on Gilligan's star. PLANET! O Yeah *sigh* LOL RIP Bob Denver

[regusted]

A bold pre-Gibson venture into the steampunk science fiction genre or ridiculously implausible scenario? Mor-tone?

It's clearly the origianl cast doing the intro, but couldn't they put a little more pep into it? I blame whomever produced it.

[Scarletspeedster68]

GHee Then I guess you would have to blame Sherwood Schwartz and Lou Schiemer, since they along with the late Norm Prescott (who died two years ago this month, btw) co-produced this series.

[Beansie09]

Well that looks like THAT was interesting. I hate rip-off shows. But definitely interesting to see. Thanks for sharing!

[skrag2112]

Campiness and lunacy, like rampaging lions, held sway over the 1970s. This just proves it.

[cubbi1977]

This was actually made in the early 1980s, not the 1970s.

[IncanTV]

Maybe LOST could be on a Sci-Fi Saturday morning cartoon.

[Shufei]

Um... Please be polite. There's no call for such rudeness, sir. Depends on what cartoons you are watching. Yes, the Saturday morning line up is horrid now, but there were good offerings on Fox around 1992, and these days alot of good anime.

[cubbi1977]

This show rules!

[superbat76]

I've looked for this for some time. glad to see it finally posted. I remember watching the gilligan's island cartoon(not just the live action comedy), and then this series after that ended. man, the 70s were the days to be a kid.

[jermainemack]

CBS's 1982-1983 Saturday Morning Line-Up 8:00am Speed Buggy 8:30am Sylvester & Tweety/Daffy & Speedy 9:30am The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show 10:30am Gilligan's Planet 11:00am Pandamonium 11:30am Meatballs & Spaghetti 12:00pm The Popeye and Olive Comedy Show 12:30pm The New Fat Albert Show 1:00pm Blackstar 1:30pm The CBS Children's Film Festival

[cubbi1977]

Now that is what I call Saturday morning TV.

[x1commander]

What... was... that...! Gilligan's Planet? Wow. What were they smoking?

[dad1153]

Interesting that Dawn Wells is listed in the credits as providing the voice for both Ginger and Mary Ann. Guess Tina Loise was the only cast member from the original show that didn't feel like playing ball. Thanks again for posting this intro, I haven't seen it in 23 years and nobody ever believed me when I told them there was a cartoon based on 'Gilligan's Island' set in another planet.

[flightsimtim]

Dawn Wells got experience at playing Ginger during the original series in a show where Mary Ann hit her head and woke up believing she was Ginger. Tina Louise played the part of Mary Ann for the show. Thanks for posting the clip!

[Shufei]

Wow, thanks for posting this! I haven't seen this in 22 years... I always thought it was a great premise, even though the plots fell rather flat. Today's cartoons are often much better, really. For nostalgia's sake, I salute thee!

[benjamintzs]

thanks for this¡¡ i remember all my childhood when i saw this clip, great stuff. why can't we have toons like that nowadays

[djth0220]

I was trying to recall which was first, planet or the other Adventure one. Yep, what we wouldnt watch back then on sat morning. Heard the orig cast got the most $ from GI from these cartoon voicings. Orig 3yr series netted them very little. txs again, where'd u find it? more plez

[Dunes]

Wow,I never knew they had a Gilligan's Island cartoon series. Man,it's been a long time.

[Scarletspeedster68]

Actually, this series aired from 1982-1984 on CBS, though it's predecessor, The New Adventures of Gilligan, aired on ABC from 1974-76, and on the Groovie Goolies and Friends as part of a syndicated package from 1978-79. Wished it were on DVD, but AOL Time Warner owns the rights to the series, sad to say. But what a show it was!

[jaycube64]

Very true. I was pretty sure Paramount had the rights though. I could be wrong. Maybe someday, if they continue on with plans to do a Gilligan movie, it will generate enough interest to push them into putting both series out on DVD. The fact that they're finally releasing the animated Star Trek series, which was also done by Filmation, gives me some small hope.

[drummerbraves]

The New Adventures of Gilligan lasted on ABC from 1973 to 1976 and later on during the mid 80's both of these shows (The New Adventures of Gilligan and Gilligan's Planet) were combined in a syndicated package.

[Scarletspeedster68]

Actually, The New Adventures of Gilligan aired from 1974-1976 and was later part of a syndicated package called Groovie Goolies and Friends in 1978-1979. You must have watched both of these shows in a different tv market than I did for them to air in the mid 1980s.

[rjskob]

this is remarkable, thanks for posting it. i remember this from the 70s, but haven't seen it since. amazing what they would put on saturday morning television for kids in those days.

[jaycube64]

Thanks for the comment. When I noticed how little Gilligan's Planet was available on the web, I had to post this. Eventually I will be able to put up a better quality version. :)
