I chatted with Bob Denver(Gilligan) back when he was still with us. I asked him "Hi Bob. Where can I find a hat like Alan wore when he played your Skipper?" He replied to me "Try a fishing store like K-Mart or the others." I said "Thank you Bob(Gilligan)!" Of course all those stores had were the cheapy adjustable hats with machine made sewn or glued on patch Skipper emblem. In Gold or Canary Yellow colored threads. They never had the hand embroidered genuine Gold Bullion Wire hat that I seeked out. Also those stores only had white and navy. Never no black ones. This was before I discovered the Affordable hand embroidered ones on eBay. But back then, I was very grateful to Bob(Gilligan)Denver and I took whatever those stores had that I could get.
The Castaways On Gilligan's Island (1979)
Gilligan:"For the first time Skipper, you were wrong and I was right. You were wrong, and I was right. You were wrong, and I was right. You were wrong, and I was right. You were-"
Skipper:"Drop anchor Gilligan!"
I think the Orange Charger was a left over General Lee rented to Knight Rider for the race. It has no decals, but it did have the American Vector Racing wheels. More nods to Dukes, the guys driving were country boys and it ran on moonshine from a still in the trunk.
Knight Rider Blooper: In the Alternatives 2000 race, in the episode Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death, when the Orange 1968 or 1969 Dodge Charger blows up, when Michael goes over to it to check on the driver's, it's mysteriously become a Plymouth Fury.
Hey y'all... That car Eddie drives in Season 6 The Ransom of Hazzard County, is it the same one from earlier in the season, driven by Hobie & Eddie Lee in Play It Again Luke?
I received very high praise on my Skipper Tribute Artist scenes from my Facebook friend Thurston Howell III the actor who played him in the Gilligan's Island musical. He said of my side by side photos of Alan Hale Jr. and me that I post, "You should take your Skipper fandom to the stage!"
Season 6 Close Call for Daisy
Waylon Jennings:"Now, it may look to the uninitiated that Luke's plan fouled up. But his backup plan is cookin'. 'Cause he knew the road that ol' Norman was on dead ended at the steam plant."
Luke:"Keep on rollin' Norman. You ain't headed nowhere but the slammer."
Season 3 Voodoo
Skipper:"Talking to him is like talking to a wall!"
Gilligan:"Do you notice anything different about the Professor?"
Skipper:"There's nothing different about the Professor. He's just as stubborn as he ever wuz-"
Gilligan's Island Fun Fact: Alan Hale Jr. wore Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. in the original 3 seasons 98 episodes 1964-1967. All 3 movies Rescue From Gilligan's Island (1978), The Castaways On Gilligan's Island (1979) and The Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island (1981) had Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. and Midway Uniform Cap Co. in the theme song scenes. "The Skipper Brave and Sure" scene was Lancaster while "The Skipper too" scene was Midway. The only full movie to have Midway in the actual film not just theme song scenes is Rescue From Gilligan's Island (1978) though.
