He actually really hated ALF and despised his role second to a puppet. Allegedly he even attacked the puppet behind the scenes once and couldn't wait until the show got cancelled.
Agreed-he had a lot of experience on stage and tv. His interaction with the ALF character is totally believable, in spite of the behind-the-scenes issues. It was no doubt not the role he wanted to be remembered for, but Willie and ALF should be remembered as one of tv’s best comedy teams.
Gilligan's Island is on the top of the list for all the TV shows that ended too soon. It was nice to get a glimpse of some of the cast members in this episode.
I've never been an Alf fan, and I never watched the original Gilligan's Island show, but I remember this episode from when I was a kid because I knew the Gilligan's Island cartoon spinoff (which I believed to be recent), so that's what I thought they were talking about. When I saw Alf dreaming of being on Gilligan's Island, I thought: "Wow! It's incredible how they found actors who resemble the cartoon characters so closely!"
I guess ALF learned a valuable lesson here. Being stranded on some uncharted island with no hope of being rescued is not fun at all. Sure, the castaways LOOKED like they were having fun and maybe sometimes they were. But most of the time, they weren't.
I know that they're fictional characters, but what saddened me is the fact that their loved ones back in civilization had assumed that they died at sea!
1:04 "Ya know, it's people like YOU who drive quality programing off the air!" Alf is describing Max Wright perfectly-- and the rest of the cast, for despising their roles and wanting this great series to end!!
Oh man.. This was harsh! Funny but harsh. This was pointing out the 'realities' of life on Gilligans Island! If you REALLY look at it in reality, it's 6 graves and Ginger left! None too deep as she already broke her nails!😱😉
This is one of my favorite episodes, and it’s nice to have an episode where it spins off Gilligan’s Island. Plus, Willie’s anger towards ALF over the lagoon was funny.
THIS is what TV was like back when TV was worth watching! No dancing celebrities, no voting someone off the island, no fake "reality", no oversexed agenda, and no wokeism. No, just genuine entertainment that EVERYONE from left to right, of all races and backgrounds could enjoy. We had ALF, Diff'rent Strokes, Gimme a break, Silver Spoons, Growing Pains, Night Court, and Cheers. We had The A Team, Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, Airwolf, and TJ Hooker. We had Highway to Heaven, Dallas, Our House, and St. Elsewhere. There was Dallas, Knott's Landing, Falcon Crest, and Dynasty.
Russell Jhonson who was played the professor on the original show was on Dallas for 1985-86 ..The same show Tina Louise was on from 1978-79 as Julie Gray..Thanks for the upload !!
I've heard that they were planning a Gilligan movie where one of the castaways was murdered, and with the help of detectives like Columbo, Mannix, etc. to figure out who done it.
The first episode title is based on the Judy Garland song "Over the Rainbow". The second is based on Gilligan's Island theme song The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle.
Lynn: How much longer is it going to take you to fill it in? Alf: Six weeks. Lynn: Six weeks? It only took you one night to dig it up. Alf: Yeah but I wanted to do that.
I remember when Alf was on and I didn't watch it. Not really sure why probably something on the other channel. In any event this is fun to watch. Thank you for making it available.
Unlike most guest stars who appeared on this show, like Anne Meara, Bob Denver, Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells were not credited as such in opening credits. They are credited in closing credits as "also starring".
a childs memory is not to be underestimated... I mean I was like what,12 back when I´ve seen the show? And the second the first frame appears I know exactly which episode it is... But ask me what I´ve done 5 years ago... Scary sometimes :)
Thanks for posting this I've always enjoyed it this was the last time most of the original cast reunited (the exception is Ginger and Mr. and Mrs. Howell ) It was great to see this; may the original cast RIP
Jim Backus (Mr. Howell) was ailing with Parkinsons's Disease, Natalie Schafer (Mrs. Howell) was 87 years old, and Tina Louise (Ginger) had disassociated herself from the franchise, which is why the three did not reprise their roles here.
There was another short-lived sitcom around that time "Day By Day", which had an episode with a similar theme. The son, Ross Harper, developed his own obsession with Sherwood Schwartz's other sitcom "The Brady Bunch" to the point that he was neglecting his schoolwork, and openly wishing his life were like that of the Bradys. Then, like ALF, he had a dream that he was in "The Brady Bunch", and, like ALF's, it turned out life in the sitcom wasn't all it was cracked up to be either. Coincidentally, Ross Harper's actor, Christopher Daniel Barnes would later play Greg Brady in two Brady Bunch movies in the 1990's
*Christopher Daniel Barnes* was also the voice of *'Prince Eric'* in Disney's _The Little Mermaid_ (1989) and *'Peter Parker'* in _Spider-Man: The Animated Series_ (1994-1998).
It's no wonder they named this episode "Somewhere over the Rerun" it's just like the Wizard of Oz especially at the end of his dream where Alf repeatedly saying he wants to go home and then wakes up from his dream just like Dorothy.
Shame Jim Backus couldn't be in this because of his deteriorating health but I wonder why Natalie Schafer didn't join this reunion. Welp I already knew Tina won't for a million years even bother to join in.
Well both actors were passed there prime they were older than the others, Tina well she couldn't make it to the cast because well we know, Tina was being Tina like she always was, and she wanted no part in this even if she had time, so technically they were all past their primes actually but it's the way life goes
This is a different version to this episode, not the one that was aired back in the 80's in Australia. When the cast aways are watching the Tanner Show in the one I had on VCR. Brian didn't ask for a glass of water. It was Willy sitting at the head of the table when he grabbed his glass and said "I'm going to get myself a glass of water". I want to find this version, there weren't as many lame one liners from the castaways
I agree with Willie on what he said about Gilligan's Island being a ludicrous situation comedy. I don't mean it as a bad thing. I just meant that was what appealed to people. Because they like silly shows.
Out of the seven original cast members of Gilligan's Island, four appear in this episode - Bob Denver, Alex Hale, Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells. Tina Louise distanced herself from Gilligan's Island and refused to ever play the role of Ginger again. She is the only cast member that never once appeared in same role after the end of that show, while others made several crossovers or guest appearances. Jim Buckus, who played Thurston, was to ill to appear on this show and passed away just few months after this episode was broadcast. Since Buckus wasn't available to appear, it was simply decided not to even invite Natalie Schafer, who played his wife, as it was decided that unless they can appear together it would make no sense.
Yes, it's a little disingenuous to have Full Episode in the title. Especially when you cut out 🎶Help Me, Rhonda🎶 from the _Help Me, Rhonda_ episode! (Which was my favorite one.)

Almost everyone had passed away from Gilligan's island except for Tina Louise, who played Ginger. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

have you seen the cast of Gilligan's Island on Roseanne?

ALF Never get tired of watching these episodes 💖💜❤️🙏Wishing that they could bring back these memories
I know. Thank God, they have them all on dvd
One of the very best episodes of the show
Takes me back to my childhood
I love ALF, but Willie was freaking funny too. " A boo-boo?"😂
Friggin hilarious.
This show... is.. pretty standout, intelligent and well executed. ❤

They didn't slip away... you're just a old box of cat turds💯
My favorite episode of the series.
17:20 But you wanted to be on Gilligan's Island, that's where the fun never stops
Marianne's got a good point with how many people manage to find their way to the island but they can never seem get off and that was for 15 years
I'd like to point out that the Professor was able to invent a lot of wonderful things for them, but couldn't build a boat to get them off the island!

Theres a line after Alf asks about the others that explains the absence of the Howells and Ginger. I never understood why it was cut from syndication.
Wish we could have got one more Gilligan's Island movie.

I remember that episode! I thought it was a fever dream!
@7:30 The dad goes Lil Jon.
**Okaaay** lol I heard him too!
the best surprise is no water coming out of the faucets.
Alf: Great. I’m sweaty. First time in 60 years.
And he didn’t get sweaty digging up the lagoon?
It's no wonder they named this episode "Somewhere over the Rerun" it's just like the Wizard of Oz especially at the end of his dream where Alf repeatedly saying he wants to go home and then wakes up from his dream just like Dorothy.
so fuuny
If the Professor boiled up the Crab Monster the castaways could eat for months.
Fun stuff

Only in half hour chunks? If ALF can wait about 15ish years (2004-05) you can binge watch Gilligan on DVD whenever you want!
Is There an Actual Episode Where They go Fishing?.
A few.
I laught...i laught..i cant stop

This is one of the funniest episodes for the series. And not because of the Gilligan's Island crew either.

Also when ALF was trying totrick Lyn into digging, the one that aired here, ALF tried to get Brian to do it, not Lyn
So that's why he often wears a Hawaiian shirt, makes sense now
I wonder how they managed to get the original show's cast.
thought alf asked about the howells n ginger thought he did was i wrong?
great crossover maybe they should have done more alf meets the Beverly hillbillies adams family the bundys who else?
