Gilligan's Island was one of the most famous TV shows to be filmed
in Hawaii. While most of the earlier episodes were filmed on Kauai
and later in a fake lagoon off the Hollywood Freeway, the beginning
of the show highlights two well known landmarks on Oahu. The harbor
the boat is shown pulling out of is Mamala Bay or better known as
Honolulu Harbor. The island shown in the distance in the opening is
"Coconut Island" or Mokuoloe located in Kaneohe Bay.
The plot of the show revolves around the shipwrecked castaways
attempts to leave the uncharted deserted island and there is never
a shortage of opportunities and plots to do so. However, these
efforts typically failed as a result of some bumbling error
committed by Gilligan. Sometimes his goofs managed to save the
others from some unforeseen flaw in their plan, as in the episode
"Splashdown", where an unmanned space capsule with sensitive
technology lands in the lagoon. Gilligan allows the other castaways
to talk over him, failing to inform them in time that the capsule
floated away. As the group yells at Gilligan for his "error", the
capsule is blown up by NASA via remote control.
Another such episode is
"Goodbye Island" while looking for tree sap for Mary Ann's
pancakes, Gilligan discovers a very strong glue-like substance that
the Professor believes, because it is strong and waterproof, is
permanent, and therefore can be used to repair the damage to the SS
Minnow, their shipwrecked boat. In the usual and predictable
fashion things go south with this plan as Gilligan later discovers
that the substance is not permanent at all; when the castaways do
not heed his warnings, the boat starts to break apart humorously
until it is completely destroyed.
