The pilot episode was filmed in Hawaii, and a number of first-season shows include clips from the pilot episode which were shot there. So as far as the first season is concerned, you weren't exactly wrong. Interestingly, the pilot didn't have the Professor, Ginger, and Mary Anne, but instead had a science teacher and two secretaries, and those characters are visible in the backgrounds of some of the shots that were recycled from the pilot.

@stephenpickells2003 4 года назад

Thanks. I never noticed the top of the sound stage in the closing shot. I also never heard a plane or car when they were at the lagoon. I don't remember any jungle sound effects when they were on the sound stage pretending to be outside. But I know for certain that there was no visible toilet, Sherwood Schwartz didn't believe in them. Now it's easy enough to imagine a cute little grass hut with a little crescent-moon on the door, but in reality you would build it away from the living area. So Gilligan's Island is actually more plausible than the Brady Bunch where too much attention was focussed on the total lack of a toilet in the kids' bathroom, where you would normally put one if you were an architect. And they all ate too much, especially too much meatloaf! The only place they could have put it was in Tiger's kennel. And we know that all the children could fit inside because they used to make out in there, just not all at once.

I would get back from school as quickly as I could in 1975 just to watch the show. Ten years later, I realize a lot of my classmates in university did the same thing. Imagine, it's pub night and the smell of beer fills the noisy, crowded room and the whole room begins drunkenly singing the theme song to Gilligans Island.

@alstuart 4 года назад

I think he means the lagoon was not exactly where the parking garage is located. The lagoon was more behind the third sound stage from left to right (where sound stage #2 is the leftmost) in your picture. In fact, the remaining trees are in the shape of the lagoon.

@alstuart 4 года назад

If you look at the 4 minute mark, the garage would be located behind stage 10, and the lagoon is to the right of the garage behind the stage 11 buildings.

@muskokamike127 4 года назад

Really? they made literally thousands of tv shows and thousands of game shows and thousands of movies and you expect them to keep the sets for each? That would encompass the entirety of LA. I watched a video on the wardrobe dept for (I think) it was warner bros. The woman said they had over 200,000 complete costumes not including the accessories (swords, hats shoes, helmets, belts). Until (I think) 2000, she "Knew" where everything was and they begged her not to retire until they cataloged everything. The building was the size of that parking structure and that was just the ones they kept, not the ones they disposed of. If they'd kept them all it'd be 10 buildings that size. I don't know off hand the cost of real estate in LA. Where I live it's $1M an acre. So if they made 1000 shows and kept each set, that's 1 BILLION dollars for posterity.

@mattnikola1398 4 года назад

I really like the arrows to pinpoint the areas you describe. I think the parking lot would possibly be half of the lagoon where point A is described and the smaller buildings as point B. If you match up where the LA River curves at, you’ll notice the lagoon from 1964 is closer to the curve than further away from it where it straightened out. But nice going overall. Excellent detective skills.

@WeNeedTheAliens Год назад

Correct Matt. I scrolled down to mention this. I worked on this lot for many years, the large parking structure is to the left of where the lagoon was. That area was filled in and populated with all those small writer bungalows. In 2015 they took down the bungalows and build the Lagoon Building, a multiuse post production/production offices. Great video Rick!

@AxtionMag Год назад

Interesting to read this, because I specifically recall, during a duffy boat tour I took with family, the tour guide saying that the pilot for Gilligan's Island was filmed somewhere along our tour route. (Balboa Island, I believe) I've always kept this specific piece of information at the top of memory as Gilligan's Island was one of my favorite television shows growing up as well as having kept our family boat in slip in Lido Channel. I would think if making a pilot for the lowest possible cost were the goal that would make Balboa a much more suitable location rather than Kaneohe Bay. But I could be incorrect. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

@jons.6216 4 года назад

Unless "the lagoon" served any more purpose to other productions it's just logical they phased it out, whether we liked it or not! As a kid watching this I always wondered why they never went back to the great beach the Professor and Mary Ann were on in season 1, but that was of course in Hawaii!

@TralfazConstruction 4 года назад

A long time ago, twenty-five years or more, I had read that the lagoon could be emptied and refilled as needed. I remember seeing a photo of it empty of water with plants growing inside it. It was similar to the retention basins that some housing developments build to catch storm runoff. I was a little disappointed in seeing the 'glamour' of one of the show's main components stripped away.
