Yeah those early episodes did have something of an evolution. After the Minnow fell apart, though, it didn't matter all that much. And, TBH, CBS did run those in a good sequence. So the airdate order worked for Gilligan's Island. Keep in mind, I'm saying this based on old memories and I am only...

Yep that certainly happens in some shows (V: The Series had a couple like that). Gilligan's Island didn't have that problem and only one or two guest stars returned. As long as references to Wrongway Feldman didn't come before his introduction, it didn't matter what order the show ran in within...

Well, if going by definition, "arbitrary" is "based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system." There was generally a reason: to showcase stronger episodes at peak times and save weaker installments for lower ratings weeks. If a pilot episode was not considered good or...

The original Star Trek, at its start, aired them in order of completeness. Some episodes intended to air up front were delayed for months due to effects not being finished. All NBC seemed to want was a "planet" show with an alien to lead the series and to not have an episode where evil Captain...

Thanks, I didn't know the production order. I probably should have checked the end credits, they list production numbers that season. They must have hated that episode to hold it back for the season ending graveyard.

The final aired episode, "Gilligan the Goddess" doesn't have the "Gilligan's Island" title after the opening credits, so the prologue format was either abandoned for this episode or they originally aired a prologue without it. Also, some weirdness as episode 29 "Bang! Bang! Bang" has the...

Yep confirmed. Even as kids we joked about "and the rest!" in those first season episodes, as Dawn Wells and Russell Johnson were relegated to the end credits that year due to contracts.

But it's Gilligan's Island....why should the island look convincing when nothing else was intended to be? Having said that, a lot more location work was done that first season than in the more studio and backlot bound final two years. Some shows work better in color, for my money. They just pop...
