  7. Two on a Raft Air Date: September 26, 1964 Written By: Lawrence J. Cohen and Fred Freeman Directed By: John Rich Guest Cast: None Main Cast Bob Denver as Gilligan Alan Hale, Jr. as The Skipper Jim Backus as Mr. Howell Natalie Schafer as Mrs. Howell Tina Louise as Ginger Dawn Wells as Mary Ann Russell Johnson as The Professor Guest Cast Charles Maxwell as the Radio Announcer (voice only) Kit Smythe as Ginger (cameo) Nancy McCarthy as Bunny (cameo) John Gabriel as The Professor (cameo) Trivia First appearance of "The Ballad of Gilligan's Island" sung by The Wellingtons. In the opening credits, the S.S. Minnow shown before the cruise is different from the version beaching on the island after the storm. There is no upper deck above the windows where the helm is, and the front of the cabin is straight rather than pointed.. When the Skipper wakes up, the original actors from the pilot can be seen still sleeping on the Minnow. In the scenes where the castaways are listening to the radio, the Professor is sitting with the others in the far shots but standing in the close-ups. When the Skipper and Gilligan finish fighting off the sharks, the Skipper's hat falls off his head and into the water right in the path of one of the sharks, and yet, in the next shot, the hat is back on the Skipper's head. By the time this episode aired, it was the most expensive pilot ever filmed due to the fake sharks and break-away raft. (Wiki)
