Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
While this documentary about the behind-the-scenes machinations that occurred during the production of Gilligan's Island will have its strongest appeal for fans of the TV series, even viewers with a passing interest will find some entertainment in this surprisingly deluxe DVD presentation. Based largely on the recollections of executive producer and original cast member Dawn Wells (Mary Ann), with contributions from Bob Denver (Gilligan) and Russell Johnson (the Professor), the documentary explores the many conflicts endured by the show's cast and production staff before and during the show's network run. None of the gossip is particularly damning (no fistfights or secret trysts between cast members), so viewers looking for Behind the Music-type dirt may be somewhat disappointed. But for classic TV fans and Gilligan aficionados, Surviving Gilligan's Island is a pleasant and well-produced diversion. --Paul Gaita

- Well Told
Although the actors are not the original people from the show, those who played them did a fine job and the story is interesting. This is a must see for anyone who enjoys "Gilligan's Island". Worth every $.

- Things you never knew......
The lagoon could not sustain life. Bob and Alan put a fish in it and it instantly died.

Tina Louise was tricked onto the show by her manager. She was under the impression that it was her show.

Mrs. Howell had no breasts.

At 94 years old, Mary Ann is still hot.

Bob Denver sold his soul to the devil for eternal life, but looks like a mummy.

Russel Johnson, the professor can invent anything except for a diet pill. The guy weighs 450 pounds.

- Just sit right back and you'll here a tale...
Although this comedy was not well received at first, to this day it is still shown all over the world and in many different languages. This DVD tells the story of seven castaways from beginning to end. Reinactments give you a visualization of how the show came about and why it was such a success. Picture quality is superior. A must see for Gilligan's Isle fans!

- A TRIP BACK IN TIME.
What a wonderful, wonderful film this is! "Gilligan's Island" was my favorite television show when I was a child, and since then I have read several books on the trials and tribulations of getting it on the air. This film was new to me - it has not been shown on T.V. in England. I am so impressed with the production standards, and the actors and actresses portraying the various people involved with the original series, while not being carbon copies of them, suggest them very well. It's also great to see Dawn Wells, Russell Johnson and Bob Denver helping with the narration. As well as this excellent film, which is very moving in parts, the dvd also comes with some great extras, including home movies and a very challenging trivia quiz! I would recommend this dvd to anybody who loves "Gilligan's Island". It is, quite simply, fabulous!
