I read in Bob Denver's book, that the producers actually bought a boat, smashed the hole in the hull, and paid a fortune to have the hulk craned onto a barge to be moved out to the beach set, instead of say, towing the boat there first.

I wonder if they had other versions of the boat.

The unaired Gilligans Island open and pilot is fascinating:

Sherwood Schwartz claims he wrote the theme that told the whole story to sell the show. Maybe not so much.

You can see they used some of that footage in the real show.

Who was narced by the jet pilot he fired.

HEY! AVIATION RELATED!

Yeah, I'm sure Ron White's lawyer is the beacon of justice in this dark, sordid tale...

Atlanta's WSBTV Channel 2 Action News report the Federal Aviation Administration in conducting an investigation into a May incident where pilots allege White may have risked the safety of crew and passengers on board his private jet.
The pilots said White fired them after the alleged incident, according to WSBTV.
On June 25, the pilots told the news station they were flying White on May 11 from Ithaca, N.Y., to Gwinnett County Airport at Briscoe Field in Lawrenceville, Ga., but were diverted to DeKalb-Peachtree Airport in Chamblee, Ga. White became drunk and enraged and tried to enter the cockpit, the pilots told WSBTV.
Terry Lloyd, a lawyer for the comedian, told the TV station, “I have absolutely no confidence in any allegations they make against Ron White. They were terminated by him. They’re nothing more than disgruntled former pilots.”

What is it about these self-destructive comedians?
