What Could Have Been Jerry Van Dyke as Gilligan Jerry Van Dyke was an American comedian and actor and the younger brother of Dick Van Dyke with whom he made his TV acting debut on "The Dick Van Dyke Show." He also played Luther Van Dam on "Coach" from 1989 to 1997. In 1963, Van Dyke turned down the role of Gilligan on "Gilligan's Island," a role which went instead to Bob Denver on the advice of his agent. He similarly rejected a chance to replace Don Knotts on "The Andy Griffith Show," choosing not to try and replace Knotts in the series. He finally accepted a starring role in the short-lived sitcom, "My Mother, the Car," a role that seemed rife for comedic opportunity, but the series failed to get an audience and went down in history as one of the worst TV shows ever made. Despite the failure, Van Dyke continued to work steadily in supporting television and film roles through most of his career, including another starring role in the short-lived series, "Accidental Family," in 1967. Jerry Van Dyke did however appear as himself in the docudrama "Surviving Gilligan's Island". (Wiki)

Did y'all hear about this?

This one should been the one put out in the theaters. Better cast. General Lee was great. Bo(Jonathan Bennett)and Luke(Randy Wayne)look like Tom and John.

By Horseback, Hitchhike, Airplane and Taxi Getting Alan Hale Jr., to audition for the role of the Skipper was a major feat. At the time, Hale was filming Bullet for a Badman in Utah. He received the casting call for the role of the Skipper but had to try and figure out how he was going to get there, without being missed on the Bullet set. Hale made his way to Los Angeles to read a scene with Bob Denver via horseback, hitchhiking, airplane, and taxi cab. He reversed the process after the audition and made it back to Utah just in time to resume filming his western the next day. Schwartz had auditioned several actors for the role, but no one fit the bill like Hale.

(Season 3 The Pigeon.) Gilligan:"Does he have to go? I was just beginning to love him." Skipper:"Little Buddy, if Walter gets to Hawaii for us, we'll build him a special cage, just for the 2 of you!"

Smith was also active in voice-over roles, having played many characters on various animated shorts including Owl in the first four original Winnie the Pooh shorts (the first three of which were combined into the feature film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) and later The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Uncle Tex on The Flintstones, Goliath in Davey and Goliath, and Flintheart Glomgold and Gyro Gearloose on DuckTales, as well as multiple other characters in The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Quick Draw McGraw Show, The Gumby Show, The Jetsons, Top Cat, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Clutch Cargo, Hong Kong Phooey, and many more. He is also known to radio listeners as the original voice of John Avery Whittaker in Adventures in Odyssey. Smith would play Otis one more time in the television movie Return to Mayberry (1986). In the television movie, Otis is the town's ice cream truck driver and is reported to have been "sober for years". Smith later used his Otis Campbell character in commercial spots for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving organization and appeared as Otis in Alan Jackson's music video "Don't Rock the Juke Box". Smith was married to Louise C. Smith from 1936 until her death in 1992. They had a son. After his wife died in 1992, Smith's own health began to deteriorate rapidly. On January 28, 1994, at the age of 77, Hal Smith died from an apparent heart attack. He is interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in Santa Monica, California.

Well y'all... Let's hope Miss Theresa Clark is true to her word and ships my hat this week.

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)
