Skipper Duke

It's been confirmed to me by Midway Cap themselves "Yes. We worked on 2 Skipper hats for The Skipper Alan Hale Jr. He was a client with us for his appearances in Alf Somewhere Over the Rerun 1987 and Rescue From Gilligan's Island 1978." Mr. John at the company told me. I was silently freaking out inside over this too. It was confirmed to me by a Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. employee too before their January 2011 demise after 82 years about their involvement with him. When they were still in business I talked on the phone to a woman called Patty. Me:"Hello." Her:"Hello. Lancaster Cap." Me:"Hello. I have question." Her:"Go ahead." Me:"I heard Alan Hale Jr. The Skipper from Gilligan's Island was a client of yours that you made his Skipper's hat for the original series 3 seasons 98 episodes '64-'67 and last 2 reunion movies '79 and '81." Her:"Yes sir that is correct. We did. He was a client of ours for the projects you mentioned." Me:"Thank you Patty. Have a wonderful day." Her:"Thank you sir. You too." Me:"Bye." Her:"Bye."

My Facebook post. My mom is the best! She took this eBay bait and switch hat sold by Sialkot Pakistani seller Bluenox which was advertised as Twisted Knotted Intertwined Mouse Braid, and he sent a Straight Braid version instead known as Gorget Braid. It had 9 little strands of string wrapped around the ends of it. She corrected it to Alan Hale's Authentic Twisted Knotted Intertwined Mouse Braid style from the original Gilligan's Island series 3 seasons 98 episodes 1964-1967 and last 2 Reunion movies The Castaways On Gilligan's Island (1979) and The Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island (1981)! Phooey on you Bluenox and your bait and switch scam tactics! Advertising Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. style and shipping me Benford Yacht Hat style. I got the right hat I wanted in the end Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. style what it should've been all along! Buyers beware, when shopping online, can't always trust or believe what you see is what you'll get.

I made a joke about the AMT Christine model kit. No assembly required! Just open it up, stand back and utter the famous words "Ok. Show me!" And watch it build itself.

"I'm still in awe of the incredible coincidence that led me to find my holy grail - a replica of Alan Hale Jr.'s iconic Skipper hat from Gilligan's Island! But here's the amazing part: before he passed away, Alan Hale Jr. himself had searched online for this exact hat, but all he could find were Navy Blue ones. And in a photo of him wearing his signature hat, the caption reads: "Alan Hale Jr. says 'Good luck kid, you'll never find one.'" Fast forward to today, and I'm thrilled to say that I've actually found one! I'm convinced that Alan Hale Jr. himself had a hand in guiding me to it from beyond the great beyond. As a die-hard fan of the show since I was three, finding this hat has been a dream come true. And I'm not the only one who thinks it's special - my friends are all amazed by the coincidence too! So here's to Alan Hale Jr. - thanks for watching over me and leading me to this incredible find! #GilligansIsland #SkipperHat #AlanHaleJr"

Pretty cool Hoss. I saw it before. It even explains how some of the American version Sanford and Son plots came from this version.

Roger yep. Lol.

I haven't heard of the Breeze before. Wow!

Season 1 Swamp Molly. Uncle Jesse Duke:"Now, now, Molly, before you start up with one of them schemes of yours, I want you to remember that them 2 boys in there, they's on probation." Swamp Molly:"Why Jess, how you talk. Alright, if you ain't got the time, or inclination-" Uncle Jesse Duke:"Uh let's just serve up the pie, an' you an' Alice can stay as long as you want." Waylon Jennings:"The boys never could figure that strange hold Molly had over their Uncle Jesse. To their mind, that old debt had been paid twice over, with interest. Before they was even born."

Original Pilot Episode Marooned. Mr. Howell:"Captain. Oh Captain. Would you have your man remove our luggage from this vessel?" Skipper:"I'd be very happy to Mr. Howell. Where would you have it removed to?" Mr. Howell:"Someplace where a Limousine could pick it up and take us to the nearest hotel." Skipper:"I don't even know where we are! For all I know, this island is inhabited." Mr. Howell:"Nonsense, Mr. Hilton has hotels everywhere! Right Lovey?" Mrs. Howell:"Quite right Thurston dear!" Skipper:"That storm drove us hundreds of miles off course! This island doesn't even appear on my Navy charts!" Mr. Howell:"Well, you should've got your chart from a more reliable source!" Skipper:"There is no reliable source than the United States Navy!" Mr. Howell:"Oh yes there is!" (Salutes)"The Sunny Brook Yacht Club! My outfit."

How are yours laid out? Mine from Mill Creek Entertainment have slip cases. Pieces of cardboard with the discs in them. They pack 'em so you can see the Season number and disc number. The first sleeve of Season 1 is Season 1 Disc 1 and 2. Number 2 is in the back of number 1 and so on. That's how Mill Creek packed them.

Oh my goodness wow!

HossC... I wonder why so many different companies and so many different disc set numbers.

Wow!

HossC... Is yours by Mill Creek Entertainment too?

I scored Knight Rider The Complete Series DVD set Seasons 1-4 16 disc set 5 episodes per disc. Got it from my Wal-Mart last Friday for $19.96

I know this isn't funny and I shouldn't laugh out of respect for all died on Titanic, but I busted a gut at a friend's meme joke. "What do you get when you cross the Atlantic with the Titanic? About halfway.

Season 2 Quick, Before It Sinks Gilligan:"I got up early to get an early start catching some Lobsters for dinner." Skipper:"The early bird catches the worm eh?" Gilligan:"You like worms?" Skipper:"Of course not!" Gilligan:"I got a whole batch of Lobsters here. But if you like worms." Skipper:"Gilligan, that's just an expression. A way of saying something."
