Mary-Ann
Maryanne. Stuff of dreams.
I thought the show was stupid but for some reason I always watched it.
I also thought “The Brady Bunch” was dumb but I also watched it.
I guess Sherwood had some ability after all.
He did have a good eye for pretty girls. Mary Ann was a real babe. I didn’t care for Ginger but watching it in reruns she is a bit prettier than I remembered. Also Marcia was sort of a frumpy looking girl then blossomed into a beautiful young lady.
I have an acquaintance who worked as a costume mistress for Tina Louise off Broadway. The verdict: “Bitch-On-Steroids”.

MaryAnn for sure!
The critics were right. It eventually bombed.
As a young lad, I thought the following:
Ginger - For a bit of fun
Mary Ann - Take home to meet the parents, get married, and grow old together
Just sit right back
And you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin’ man,
The Skipper brave and sure,
Five passengers set sail that day,
For a three hour tour,
A three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.
The ship set ground on the shore
Of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan,
The Skipper too.
The millionaire
And his wife,
The movie star,
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan’s Isle.
(Ending verse)
So this is the tale of our castaways,
They’re here for a long long time.
They’ll have to make the best of things,
It’s an uphill climb.
The first mate and his Skipper too
Will do their very best,
To make the others comf’terble
In their tropic island nest.
No phone, no lights, no motor car,
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It’s primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friends,
You’re sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan’s Isle!
Mary Ann and Ginger are the only surviving cast members left
If you ever want to see Bob Denver in a western he did one with Forest Tucker {Sarge on F-Troop}The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West. He pretty much continued the Gilligan character in it. LOL.
And yes, Mary Ann.
ME TV has just started showing the old 50s version of “Superman”. I saw the first one and missed a few. That episode had really bad special effects even by 1950 standards.
On the other hand, the story was pretty darn good.
What I found funny is seeing guest stars showing up on the island and getting off the island yet Gilligan and the gang have a problem getting off the island.
Ginger was a hottie, but Mary Ann was a sweetheart.
Here is a documentary of Surviving Gilligan’s Island. Worth watching.

I was never a fan of Gilligan’s Island...I was more a Hillbillies and Hogan’s Heroes fan.But Mary Ann was,in fact,quite cute but couldn’t hold a candle to Ellie Mae.
Like the studio heads, Van Dyke also didn’t believe that the series had a chance of making it and instead agreed to star in another series, “My Mother the Car,” which ended up only lasting for one season.
Ooooooooooookayyyyyyyy.......
Mary Ann all the way!
