Russell Johnson on his feelings towards Tina Louise 

It’s t v, unrealistic

Breaking news: Gilligans Island was a TV show.

Except the guys who actually lived on the boat-they wore the same crap every week.

Amazing how many of you don't know a joke when you read it.

The Professor basically wore the same thing every week.​@@marshmutt8975

Natalie Schafer left Dawn Wells $50,000 in her will to take care of Natalie's dogs when she passed away.

Dawn Wells was the _only_ one to receive residuals? That's a shame, there was a fortune there they all deserved.

Didn't know that,thanks for the tidbit ❤

Tina Louise was also upset with producer Sherwood Schwartz because he made millions in syndication while the cast received no residuals.

I felt, something was 'off' between Ginger and everyone else. Yet acting roles are hard to come by, and Tina 'should've' been more appreciative of her job. Then again, she did a very bad performance as the 'Biker Mama' in that flop movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" lol Such a shame, Tina had a terrible attitude. I don't get along with some people, because of various dramas, yet a few had a PAIR and told me what I was doing, I have nothing but DEEP LOVE and RESPECT for them. Only the FEW that grow a PAIR of BALLS to confront the problem, can make a huge difference. Ignoring the problem, and removing the problem, never solves it. It just spreads the problem, but never corrects the unacceptable behavior. I'm sure Tina, had her reasons and I'm sure there was more deserving actresses that could have Ginger's character and perform it better. Dawn Wells, was described as the 'smart' actress that knew how to negotiate, and Natalie Schaffer was also a bit of a drama-queen herself. Yet, I'm sure, with enough hard work, they would chop down a few trees, and between the professor and skipper, make the repairs to the "Minnow" lol but after a while, Gilligan always messed up. lol I grew up on the Gilligan Island's reruns.

In a lot of the episodes, a visitor leaves the castaways behind and nothing bad happens to them. Some of the "evil" visitors leave, but they get their comeuppance later, relayed to the castaways via a radio news report. Jonathan Kincaid lost his mind and was put in a straitjacket. Jackson Farrell's stolen bank money was chopped up by the boat's propellor. George Barkley lost his prize money which was hidden inside his transmitter. The Mr. Howell imposter was rescued, but he couldn't spend any more of the real Howell's money. But, at the end of the "All About Eva" episode, there was no comeuppance. We can only assume that her plan to become Ginger in Hollywood didn't pan out.

I will give Tina Louise credit for reuniting with the whole cast for the first and last time on the Ross Schaefer Show , a Fox late night show in 1988 . It was the last time for the whole cast because Jim Backus died in '89 , Alan Hale Jr in '90 , and Natalie Schafer in '91 . After that she would occasionally reunite with the remaining cast , like the end of that "Roseanne" episode where Tina Louise was playing Roseanne's character , then Dawn Wells came in playing Darlene , the negative smart aleck daughter , Bob Denver came in playing Roseanne's sister Jackie , then Russell Johnson came in playing Becky's boyfriend Mark . I saw a video clip of that episode a long time ago , I don't remember all the details , but it was funny .

She didn't exactly become an A-list movie star, so it makes you wonder.

She skipped the A-list and got on train to the D-list and stayed there.

After GI was canceled, I don't recall Tina in any role until she popped up during Dallas' first season, and that was a short stint since her character was either killed off or left town.

Mary Ann also had a better attitude.

@@rods6741 I never heard anyone who preferred Ginger.

No

What a nasty thing to say based on misconceptions no doubt from the likes of this video here. Tina got the last laugh because now at 90 years 5 months and 12 days she is the oldest living and longest lived cast member. Also, she is blessed with a daughter and two grandbabies.
