Yes really. I've been given to understand that Natalie and Jim's wife Henny were best friends together, just like Dawn Wells and Dreama Denver were best friends.
i seen that. that was nice of her.i think his health at this time was really bad but at least he was a good sport to show up. would have been nice to have bob denver too
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc I agree the whole world was much better in the 1980s for reasons that today's young people will never understand! These entertainers were 10 times better than most of the the talent we have today, by far !!!!!
I want to warmly thank whoever posted these awesome clips. I had no idea that there were people from my favorite shows competing for their respective charities. It was so sweet to see them all in action, supporting each other. It brings me to tears since it seems like that kind of comraderie is all but gone...
Yessirreebob indeed, and there were similarities between the two shows. The most striking similarity was that both shows were canceled by the network without notice after having been promised a fourth season and at a time when they were both number one in the ratings. Boggles a person's mind.
Watching Mr. Backus beginning his "departure" was heartbreaking. May he and all the others who have passed on rest in peace. True legends. All of them.
I've always adored Alan Hale Jr. and his dad, Alan Hale Sr. Alan Jr. always had that amazing happy smile and outgoing guy next door personality. Just loved him!
@@GathKingLeppbertI I just saw that movie. I recognized him the moment I saw him. I had heard that prior to GI, he had been in westerns and action movies.
I remember watching this tournament when I was a kid in 1983. So great to see it again, particularly with Dawn Wells recently passing. This is a time machine. Thanks so much for the post.
And look how warmly she hugged everyone after the match. I've read that she was as sweet in real life as her Maryann character in the show. Alan Hale was also reported to be a super nice guy.
Actually, the robot's voice was done by Dick Tufeld. Bob May was inside the robot making it move. May was also fantastic in the way he created a "body language" for the robot... popping its head up when surprised, etc.
I believe TH-cam is quickly becoming the greatest, most powerful TV channel of all time. Remember, one of the biggest things on the planet a few years ago was Gangnam Style, and how did we all get to see it? You Tube....
Thank God we have TH-cam now and you can watch all these TV shows anytime you want anywhere you want you can watch them on your smart phone your iPad your high definition 4K TVs is just so great and all the shows an hour available on Blu-ray so you can join him anytime anywhere
+djkrushinphx He was, indeed, a great guy - and a much-decorated World War II hero, too (up to and including the Purple Heart, for his heroism as a bomber pilot in the South Pacific). After a "wartime marriage" which lasted only 5 years (1943-1948), he was happily married "till death do us part" twice: the first time for 30 and a half years (July 1949 until his wife Kay's death in January of 1980; two children) and the second time for almost 32 years (May 1982 until his death of kidney failure on 16 January 2014; one stepchild). Check out his IMDB profile. His movie and TV career spanned from 1950 to 1997. While he appeared in a lot of movies (both big-screen and made-for-TV) and TV series (mostly dramatic) over those years, GILLIGAN'S ISLAND was the second and last TV series in which he played a regular series character for a number of years. The first had been the Western drama BLACK SADDLE, in which he played Marshal Gib Scott, and which aired 20 episodes on NBC (on Saturday evenings) as a mid-season replacement show from January through May of 1959, and which aired another 24 episodes on ABC (on Friday evenings), running the length of the 1959-1960 TV season. He co-starred with Peter Breck and Anna-Lisa on that series. (Yes, he did have a recurring role as an Assistant District Attorney on OWEN MARSHALL, COUNSELOR AT LAW on ABC in the early 1970s, but that was only 8 episodes over the span of 2 years. And yes, he did appear for a while on DAYS OF OUR LIVES in 1980 and on SANTA BARBARA in 1991, but not long-long-term.) I've seen a couple of movies from very early in his career in which he had an uncredited bit part (RANCHO NOTORIOUS (1952), in which he plays a Chuck-A-Luck wheel spinner early in the movie, and THE TURNING POINT (1952), in which he plays one of the heavies (I think); the latter film was, and hopefully still is, floating around somewhere on TH-cam and is well worth the watch). I have also seen him in a substantial credited part in the 1954 Western RIDE CLEAR OF DIABLO (which stars Audie Murphy (also a much-decorated World War II hero, serendipitously), Dan Duryea, Susan Cabot, Abbe Lane, Paul Birch, Jack Elam, and Denver Pyle); this movie may also still be floating around TH-cam somewhere, and, if it is, it is WELL worth watching!
@@jrcasselman He had been suffering from the disease for years before he died. I still remember how the disease affected Glen Campbell and Mohammad Ali.
wow. All the wonderful people from those shows that I grew up watching. Loved them all. Sad that so many of them are gone. To the cast of those shows, thanks for the memories.
I used to love watching "Lost in Space, and I never knew who was inside the robot. When I was a little, I had a crush on "Guy Williams. He's a good-looking man. Seeing the cast from these old shows brought back great memories of when I was a child. XO
I still watch it. It's on DVD. Although it's super corny and kind of bad scripts / acting, it's still entertaining. Currently watching the robot planet one.
That was a great family feud episode. Mary Ann and the professor always come through. Just like on the Island, the professor was the one who was the one who helps everyone. I could tell that Jim Backus was hurting. He was a great actor and had a great career.
Yes, and strange that he didn't position hiself as head of the family! Guy never admitted it, But Jonathan stole his thunder! He was the great Zorro! RIP
A classless actor would not embrace the fact that his whole career was made from being lucky enough to get that part; certain other(s) in that show didn't like being stereotyped as "that actor who was in Gilligan''s Island"..in other words they take themselves and/or their acting too seriously. Skipper simply embraced it, enjoyed it and was thankful for it. That's class.
@@millionsofrecordsernieb7587 I agree. During the breaks from filming, Tina Louise avoided the other celebrities on "Gilligan's Island." She didn't like to be associated with that show.
@@lynettepalecek3141 to be fair, Tina was super-model hot on the show and could never live up to looking that good. Still pretty shallow as us fans would have loved to see her anyway. The woman who played Mary Ann was blessed with some amazing genes and looked good decade after decade.
@@ravenfn831 Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann, took excellent care of her health both physically and emotionally. She won the beauty contest as Miss Nevada in 1960 when she was 22 years old. Dawn Wells was a very sociable person for her entire life. When her mother got Alzheimers Disease, Dawn Wells took care of her until her mother died. Sadly Dawn Wells also got Alzheimers Disease. She was diagnosed with it 2 years before she died from Alzheimers Disease. The msm is hiding that fact.
Wonderful People!! Gotta love how they included Jim Backus . They treated him so well. on this episode!!! He had Parkinson!s at this time. They treated him so sweetly.
@@bbqking7410 What a lot of people don't know is that June Lockhart also played the little girl in the Movie A Christmas Carol, I believe 1938 it's my Favorite version, also Bob Cratchit was her Father, Gene Lockhart, Gene also played the judge in Miracle on 34th street, and it also was her real Mom, and June's Daughter Anne Lockhart played Lieutenant Sheba in the original Battlestar Galactica series. one of the lead roles as a Fighter pilot. June was always one of my favorite actors and her father was awesome in his movies.
Guy Williams, at the time, like George Reeves' Superman -- will always be the original Zorro for me. He was also part of the cast of the classic TV western Bonanza in 1964 as Ben Cartwright's nephew. Cast, for a brief time -- the character was written out after 5 episodes because of production politics and B/S. It's a shame because the episodes I saw Guy in were quite good. I never figured out the true politics crap -- he was a name actor, lots of success on his acting resume, handsome and recognizable, probably could've carried the show himself if Lorne Greene wasn't the father. I sometimes wonder if his Argentine good looks would've competed too much with Pernell Roberts (who had hair in 1964) and Michael Landon. Maybe they pressured the producers not to have him join the cast. His 6'3 muscular frame certainly competed with Dan Blocker -- so they could've been Cartwright relatives.
I remember this when it originally aired in the summer of '83. That summer my parents were in Europe, my older brother was in NYC & my younger siblings & I were in the care of our maternal grandparents.
This is still great to watch. Guy Williams was still so handsome after all the years later but sadly Jim Backus seemed a tad disoriented. Very older gentlemen by then but still great to see him on this show.
Jim was rather advanced in Parkinson's by the time this was filmed. And I noticed Skipper had a few moments of confusion in a couple of the games. But all in all they all were wonderful from all the teams. :) And seeing "Robot" Bobby May was indeed a new revelation for me.
Funny, I recall reading once where Billy Mumy, I believe, during an interview, said that Lost in Space was always being compared to Star Trek. He went on to say that it should have been compared to Gilligan's Island especially after the 1st season where it went from being a somewhat serious show to comedic farce. Nice to see Guy Williams; RIP to him and all of the other great actors/actresses from both shows there who are no longer with us.
DALE COOPER There is actually quite a few similarities between LIS and GI Both were CBS mid sixties series. Both had pilot episodes weren't used but which contained footage added to the regular series run. Both premises feature 7 stranded people, 4 men 3 women. Both had one married couple. Both ran 3 seasons (1 B&W/2 color). Both were successful publicly but got rather negative reviews. Both featured "visitors" who offered help but ultimately left them still stranded. Each had one character who always fouled things up. Both series were cancelled even though they were still getting decent ratings. Both series originally ended without resolution. And both did well in syndication and have a large fan-base. There's more but that's what I could come up with at the moment.
This show went down hill after Richard he was the best TV host, him and Mr Alex on jeopardy both were top notch entertaining guys. Miss both. 🇬🇧 will never be the same again 💔 😔 🇬🇧
I don't know... I thought Angela Cartwright looked pretty damn good. And whether it was genes, or plastic surgery, Natalie (Mrs. Howell) held up pretty well.
Smh classic tv with my dad, I loved it and miss it too. Gilligan's Island, Sanford and Son, The Ropers, The Jeffersons, classic Feud, Three Stooges, GoodTimes, Sigh....💖I miss my pops and shows like this.
I'd be willing to bet that most of you making the "creep" remarks about Richard kissing all the ladies wasn't even alive when he started doing it in the 70's. It was a whole different time then, that's why. The only people who were freaked out by it back then were the blue haired old granny types and the southern racists because yes, Richard kissed ALL the ladies regardless of race or age. There was nothing wrong with it. Sure beats all the backstabbing and bitchy shows that are on nowadays.
Absolutely correct Suzibird307. It was one of those you had to live in the era things. Prior to the Feud, many of us who were around back then, already knew him as a cast member on Hogans Heroes. It was Mr Dawsons thing to be a charmer to the ladies on the show and part of why it became popular. He was the original host and the show ran many years with him at the helm.
uh, sweetie...you need to get out more often. It's a common phrase referring to the old ladies with white hair who go to salons to get it coloured and end up with blue, sometimes pink or sometimes even purplish unintended highlights because white/grey hair doesn't take colour too well. Google it if you don't believe me. Ask a beautician if you don't believe me. Watch "Are you being served?" if you don't believe me. Mrs. Slocomb on that show played up that stereotype really comically. Don't criticize what you don't know, luv. For the record, NO...I was not high at all during the 70's...I was just a kid. However, the 80's was a whole other story ;-)
Suzibird307 so true! one of my grandmothers had blue hair all the time. she had been blond as a child, & never got the pretty grey/white/silver that DARK hair turns. she must have thought the blue was an improvement over sandy-grey. i think "mrs. slocomb" was a different story, though. hers was pink, purple, green, striped, etc. (`8^D .... she was one of my all-time favorite comedians [comediennes], as was kathy staff {nora batty}!!
I remember the elderly ladies with tinted hair from when I was little in the 70's too. We had a lady who attended my church that wore feathered pillbox style hats that perfectly matched her hair tints. I remember pink, blue, purple, and yellow tints. Reminded me of Easter Eggs.
so loved lost in space they played it in the early 1970;s when i was around 8yrs old im 50 now god time flys i miss my childhood friends so much love you guys i still think of you
When game show hosts wore three piece tuxedos and pocket watch and lapel flower!! Class... Notice also Natalie has her quizzing glasses she used as Lovey Howell! Sweet.
Yeah, and Tina Louise blamed the show for ruining her career by typecasting her. If true, that's a shame. In the three years she spent with the cast, she got a chance to do all kinds of quirky skits and stuff. She was actually a talented lady. It's too bad her career ground to a halt after Gilligan's Island.
@@williamanthony9090 that's what she says, but everyone who gets typecast can do that to themselves to a certain extent, too. their first mistake is not embracing it, and in tina's case you can clearly see the ego involved.
Give it up for Jim Backus. Declining health but still put on a good show. Thanks for posting. Really neat to see all those stars again. Yes, the Professor was king at the final round. Love the enthusiasm.
@@succulentcranberry Natalie Schafer really looks great for 75 - she constantly lowered her age to keep in work. Jim would have been around 71 I think. He seems to be in a constant state of bewilderment, but every time he still pulls out either a good or funny answer.
This is a true story, and it may be hard to believe, but when Gilligan's Island was cancelled, Alan Hale cried like a baby, and it's because he loved the show and the cast so much, and I know that we all loved that terrific show and cast also.
Alan Hale Jr was a great guy on and offscreen. I was stunned that he still looked great after Gilligan's Island was cancelled. But Mr. Hale took his role as the Skipper to heart. Sherwood Schwartz (the creator and executive producer) said that Mr. Hale would visit children in the hospital dressed as the Skipper.
RetroGuy76 that’s the sweetest story. I actually got choked up reading it. Alan’s wife said that he was so incredibly grateful for the Skipper role and felt like he had been born to do it and be it. Quite the opposite of some of the other cast members who resented being type cast for life, especially Tina Louise.
A modern day show of 5 Dr Who doctors versus the NCIS or Hawaii50 team would be interesting. Or an old Star Trek v new Star Trek, sadly without and Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin.
Notice Jim Backus uses a controller instead of going up to the two-person podium when it's his turn for face-off. This is because he was suffering from Parkinson's disease. He does a good job on the show though, gave a key answer correctly at one point. He died of complications from pneumonia six years after the show aired.
People that think his kissing the lady's on the show is creepy probably weren't around back then. It was looked at as a respectful greeting. Know days some young people think that it's creepy. I'll tell you what is creepy. People so busy looking down at there phone all day. So focused on their phone they hardly look up long enough to see where they're going.( That includes while driving) It was a much friendlier time socially to. Not like all of the creeps cruising the internet looking to rip you off or worse! Everybody has their own opinion tho. This is mine.
A few "quick hits" on this episode: 1. "Name an Alfred Hitchcock movie." Notice that Angela Cartwright names THE BIRDS (1962) - which happens to be the Hitchcock film that her older sister, Veronica Cartwright, was one of the principals in the cast. (Veronica played Cathy Brenner, the much-younger sister of Mitch Brenner (played by Rod Taylor). She was 13 years old at the time, just one year after she had played another great movie role - namely, that of Rosalie Wells in the outstanding 1961 United Artists film version of Lillian Hellman's play THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.) 2. "Name an Alfred Hitchcock movie." I'm pretty sure that Guy Williams had STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951) in mind when he answered LADY ON A TRAIN. But there is a very good 1945 Universal movie titled LADY ON A TRAIN, with Deanna Durbin, Dan Duryea, Ralph Bellamy, Edward Everett Horton, Allen Jenkins, David Bruce, George Coulouris, Patricia Morison, Elizabeth Patterson, and William Frawley among the outstanding ensemble cast. It's well worth watching - and it is available on DVD. 3. "Name a magazine that gives people advice on how to improve their love lives." I had to laugh out loud to hear the answer "Hustler" given by June Lockhart, of all people. And I was surprised when it wasn't one of the listed answers to the survey! 4. Russell Johnson is very much in his actor/"Professor" persona in the lightning round - but he's also very good in his choice of answers, as is Dawn Wells, and that persona works! 5. Does anybody know which five cast members from HAWAIIAN EYE were on their FAMILY FEUD team? (They appear on set at the end, when the amount which each team raised for their designated charity was announced.) I know who was on the GILLIGAN'S ISLAND and LOST IN SPACE teams (obviously) and the BATMAN team (I've seen the FF episode which pits the BATMAN team against the GILLIGAN'S ISLAND team, and which aired the day before this episode), but not HAWAIIAN EYE. I recognize Connie Stevens, and I think Troy Donahue and Poncie Ponce as well, but not the other two or three. Douglas Mossman, perhaps? Anthony Eisley? Mel Prestridge? Robert Conrad (though I doubt it)? Grant Williams? Well, let me know if you know......
Guy Williams should have never bowed out of Bonanza, as Pernell Roberts' replacement. He'd have spent the next decade as a lead cast member of a top rated and iconic TV show.
I agree with you but it wasn't his choice to leave. Roberts decided to stay for another year. Williams said that the whole experience was unpleasant for him. The other actors really didn't want him there, especially Landon who felt threatened by Williams good looks.
@@eyecomeinpeace2707 I agree.I believe that if people go far enough out into space, they can receive broadcasts of shows like The Green Hornet and I Love a Mystery as clearly as it it was in their heyday. Anything is possible. Anything.
Forget Angela can’t right now she was super hot too but she still is super hot and Mar. Ann it’s still super hot and I think she’s like 78 years old now❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@philiphoward1731-Mary Ann-(Dawn Wells), I agree with you, very beautiful. I have a long list, Jennie Garth, Jennifer Love Hewitt, so many!!! Who are some of your other crushes?
Well, when I was growing up I could never forget. Maureen McCormick from the Brady Bunch, Melody Patterson, from F-Troop, Justine Bateman from Family Ties. Christine Lakin from the Show Step By Step
I know that I'm showing my age (and my avid interest in the movies) when I say that I am old enough to remember: June Lockhart as Ruth Martin (the mother) on LASSIE (including some of the first-run episodes, but mostly in reruns), as well as Dr. Janet Craig on the last 2 seasons of PETTICOAT JUNCTION (after LOST IN SPACE was cancelled) - and also some roles from her movie days (the 1938 A CHRISTMAS CAROL, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS, and T-MEN - all well worth watching); Guy Williams as Zorro in ZORRO (but only in re-runs); Angela Cartwright as Linda Williams in MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY (including some of the first-run episodes, as well as in reruns), as well as Angela in the 1962 film LAD: A DOG; Alan Hale, Jr. back in his movie days, in such films as IT HAPPENED ON FIFTH AVENUE, THE GUNFIGHTER (no screen credit, but still his role is quite memorable), SILVER LODE, A MAN ALONE, and THE KILLER IS LOOSE (all of which are well worth watching); Jim Backus from back in his movie days, in such films as M (the 1951 American remake), HALF ANGEL, DEADLINE - U.S.A, PAT AND MIKE, DON'T BOTHER TO KNOCK, THE SQUARE JUNGLE, MEET ME IN LAS VEGAS, JOHNNY COOL, IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD, and THE WHEELER DEALERS (all of which are well worth your watching), as well as his many "Mr. Magoo" cartoons - but not, oddly enough, either of the sitcoms in which he starred before GILLIGAN'S ISLAND (I MARRIED JOAN (1952-1955) and THE JIM BACKUS SHOW (1960-1961); Natalie Schafer from back in her movie days, in such movies as WONDER MAN, DISHONORED LADY, THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE, THE SNAKE PIT, and TAKE CARE OF MY LITTLE GIRL (all of which are well worth watching); Russell Johnson from back in his movie days, principally as Jed Ringer in RIDE CLEAR OF DIABLO (well worth your watching), but also in an uncredited part in the 1952 film THE TURNING POINT (also well worth your watching). Not being a fan of science-fiction movies, I have not seen THIS ISLAND EARTH or IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, both of which featured him as one of the co-stars in the cast. And the others here? I can't really say that I've seen any of them in anything from movies or TV before GILLIGAN'S ISLAND or LOST IN SPACE, though I have seen Dawn Wells as Miss Lorilee Lee in the 1983 made-for-TV movie HIGH SCHOOL, U.S.A. (She was one of quite a number of TV sitcom icons from the 1950s and 1960s who played roles ranging from cameo parts to integral parts of the cast in that very funny film. By all means, watch it if you can find it (heck, it might even be up on TH-cam!); you'll have a great time doing so. But I hope that I've pointed some of you in directions that may lead you to some "video treasures" that you might not have known about - or, if you did know about them but haven't thought about them in a while, then maybe prodded your memory and made you think about watching them for a first time (or another time).
You are forgetting a minor point of tv trivia: 2 of the Gilligan's Island cast members were guests on the same 60s CBS show....Wild, Wild, West, though not the same episode. Alan Hale Jr. actually played a US Secret Service agent and I forget what exactly Dawn Wells did on her episode, perhaps "damsel in distress" ? Russell Johnson, in his earliest roles played a heavy of sorts, though I am not able to say where I would have seen him without an assist from Wiki. And yes, Jim Backus played the father of James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause.
I always thought Alan Hale Jr. came across as the nicest guy in the world and he does here, too. A guy you'd want to have a couple of beers with or invite to a party.
Alan Hale Jr. was one of the nicest guys one would ever want to meet. He's the kind of guy that'd give you a bear hug, slap you on the back and give you the shirt off his back.
He owned a seafood restaurant in Los Angeles around the time this episode was recorded. It was called "The Lobster Barrel" and he often gave away Skipper's hats to Birthday guests in his restaurant in person.
I grew up watching both shows and wouldn't have missed either for the world. What I think is wonderful about this FF episode is how they treated with utter kindness Jim Backus. He was already very ill at this time.
Family Feud what fun,! :-) but no one will do a better job at hosting is Richard Dawson although many men can close Richard Dawson will always have a place deep in our hearts
Very true. He freely admitted that he was drunk on many episodes and also regularly did cocaine, as well. The latter was probably a way to wake him up a bit from the stupor. He was still fantastic.
@@markquick7276 Ginger reportedly rarely if ever did anything in public for the show as she was not happy with her looks as she had aged, put on a little weight and things and did not do much, but i saw her in a couple of things and she still looked good.
Dawn Wells is still around, and still looks amazing. While "Ginger or Mary Ann?" may have been a serious question back in the 1960s, today it's no contest!
+Laurence Tenenbaum Bill Mumy had some what regrets not doing this show because it would have been his last time to see Guy Williams. I should also point out that was Bill's ONLY REGRET not doing Family Feud.
+robert szvetics Refuse to do Family Feud. According to to Bill Mumy Johnathan Harris called Billy on the phone and said, "Family Feud?! Dickey Dawson?!! You won't be kissing me, dear boy! Are you doing it?!" Billy, ";Ahhh, no I.m not..." Johnathan, "Good. good. If they don't have us they don't have nothin, baby!" Interestingly, they both refused to do cameos in the 1998 Lost In Space movie.
larry potter they should at least had johnny do dr.smith he was the only smith i bet the movie would of been a big hit with johnathan in it and he wasnt that old yet.
I am pretty sure that in 1983 that was still a familiar saying. Richard Dawson never made a smarmy remark but just accepted it as a smart answer. (He did look over at the director as if wondering if the censor board would censor it.)
At first I wondered why Guy Williams was not the leader of the Lost in Space team. June Lockhart really was a bigger star. Guy had retired to Argentina years before where he was a hugely popular because of his playing Zorro in the TV series. He flew in specially to be on the Feud. Eight years after filming this Guy Williams was found dead in his home after having not been seen for about a week. I believe he died of a heart attack at 64 or 65.
I don't think Guy wanted to be in the lead position and he was already visiting in the states when they asked him to do it. I believe he did it as a favor to June.
Yes she did. I saw her daughter at a comic con in Austin a few years ago. I was awestruck and stood there transfixed - staring at her. Then she turned and looked at me. My thoughts were = "Goodness! How she looks so much like her beautiful mother." Her thoughts = "Why is that pervert staring at me?" Sigh!
It may just be me but Guy Williams was still a great looking guy and the cast on both sides still looked very good all the years later. I did notice I think Jim Backus had aged a lot and seemed a little farther away perhaps age issues but this was fun to watch. Thank you for the upload.
+Kim Clayton Also, what's even more incredible about Jim Backus is that he was suffering from Parkinson's disease, and yet he came to do this and was on of the best players. A pretty incredible man.
+Paul Whipple Thank you for that information about Jim Backus. I wasn't aware he had Parkinsons at the time of this. Even more amazing he did so well. Great character actor and loved his voice. Mr. Magoo. lol. I am showing my age friend.
Dawn Wells remains a sweetheart. Unfortunately, she was hit hard during the banking issues in 2008, and lost her retirement, then was in an accident and had to have serious surgery and recovery time. After more than two months in the hospital, she was $180k in debt with medical and IRS bills. Fortunately, fans heard of her plight and almost $200k through GoFundMe poured in, a project set up by one of her close friends. www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2018/10/18/gilligan-star-dawn-wells-accepts-197-k-gofundme-donations/1680783002/
Really n they couldn't get Mumy, Goddard or Harris,,.so they grab the guy in the Robot suit? And Giligans Island with no Gilligan? BTW Angela was so adorable here.
Sad to know 4/5 here on Gilligan’s Island team are now deceased...5 if you include Bob (Gilligan himself). Nice to see most of them here playing together AND WINNING. But WHY the Motion Picture fund? WHAT good do THEY do??? I want to know. ...why not the Cancer society..or research for Parkinson’s disease?? This would be more appropriate since Cancer is what Bob had at the end..and Jim had the Parkinson’s disease.
I like Steve Harvey but I love Richard Dawson so much better as a host. Of course I love the original anyway, maybe because it was more family friendly. Far too many sexual overtones in the newer versions.
Comparatively, no. It's backwards to get upset about people's trivial, harmless behaviors in general, but that the Steve Harvey Family Feud's overt, sexually provocative survey questions and answers and Harvey's reactions to them are somehow completely innocent while Richard Dawson getting a peck in on the ladies on the show is offered as evidence of PURE EEEEVIL is backwards on a whole other level. Grow up.
I just came across this set of videos. So glad I did! What a joy to see the actors from some of my favorite TV shows as a child. What wonderful people they appear to have been. Sweet memories to always cherish.
Harris would not have likely attended unless being well paid. They were not paid well for Lost in Space or the other show. It went as high in Season 3 per Harris to 3500 a week compared a few years later starting at 50 thousand per show All in the family up to 300 thousand a show! Harris was a businessman who loved to perform & he loved his fans but he was not going to do things for free. None of these people were wealthy other than the one who played professor on Lost in Space from the stock market. The rest might have had one maybe two million if lucky in older age but no wealthy.

Natalie Schafer is about 12 years OLDER than Jim Backus. Amazing woman.
i seen that. that was nice of her.i think his health at this time was really bad but at least he was a good sport to show up. would have been nice to have bob denver too
And told him answers he could not hear....🥰
The world seemed a happier place when all the cast members were still here with us.
I agree. Times were better back then.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc I agree the whole world was much better in the 1980s for reasons that today's young people will never understand! These entertainers were 10 times better than most of the the talent we have today, by far !!!!!

I recall reading that nobody knew her true age and she wasn't about to help them find out.
I want to warmly thank whoever posted these awesome clips. I had no idea that there were people from my favorite shows competing for their respective charities. It was so sweet to see them all in action, supporting each other. It brings me to tears since it seems like that kind of comraderie is all but gone...
Two wonderful shows with lots of classy people...
TV SHOW LAST CHANCE
Yessirreebob indeed, and there were similarities between the two shows. The most striking similarity was that both shows were canceled by the network without notice after having been promised a fourth season and at a time when they were both number one in the ratings. Boggles a person's mind.
June Lockhart-absolutely gorgeous!..
Guy Williams wasn't bad either.
Watching Mr. Backus beginning his "departure" was heartbreaking. May he and all the others who have passed on rest in peace. True legends. All of them.
He lived 6 more years after this show.
"Oh Magoo, you've done it again!"
Jim Backus = legend.
Yes it is
Could not believe when Guy Williams appeared on this. He and Zorro were my all time favorites and he hadn't been on American TV in 11 years.
Jim Backus, wow. Great actor with a diverse career. I was glad to see they took good care of him on the show.
I've always adored Alan Hale Jr. and his dad, Alan Hale Sr.
Alan Jr. always had that amazing happy smile and outgoing guy next door personality. Just loved him!
The old Robin Hood 🏹
I saw Alan Sr in Imitation of Life with Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers. 1934
Hang 'em high?
@@GathKingLeppbertI I just saw that movie. I recognized him the moment I saw him. I had heard that prior to GI, he had been in westerns and action movies.
I’m surprised they didn’t give the answers out in that last round.😊
I remember watching this tournament when I was a kid in 1983. So great to see it again, particularly with Dawn Wells recently passing. This is a time machine. Thanks so much for the post.
Dawn Wells is my ideal woman!
They'll all be missed 😔
@@remixandkaraoke same here. The flawless "Girl Next Door" type my personal favorite 🥰🌹👌💯
And look how warmly she hugged everyone after the match. I've read that she was as sweet in real life as her Maryann character in the show. Alan Hale was also reported to be a super nice guy.
Jim Backus - "I would say Penthouse." LOL Yes! Jim still knew what was going on
And he was correct!
Great to finally put a body to the voice of The Robot! Still the best Robot in TV history!
The Robot man seemed to really loved player the robot.
Dr. Smith and the Robot should have had a spin-off series.
Actually, the robot's voice was done by Dick Tufeld. Bob May was inside the robot making it move. May was also fantastic in the way he created a "body language" for the robot... popping its head up when surprised, etc.
So thankful for Netflix and TH-cam. Instead of watching modern television each night, I can watch all these classic TV programs from my youth.
My thoughts exactly.... I really don't watch much TV :-)
2K16 Do you ever watch Hulu, MeTV, Cozi, or Antenna?
2K16 Antenna TV metv,get tv,youtube,hulu,netflix,others I can't think of right now,other than these i mentioned there is NOTHING GOOD on anymore
Cozi TV
I believe TH-cam is quickly becoming the greatest, most powerful TV channel of all time. Remember, one of the biggest things on the planet a few years ago was Gangnam Style, and how did we all get to see it? You Tube....
you have to admit, these years of television were the best !!
It's just a little weird that these woman let the host kiss them on the lips.
It was all that weed.
Could not agree with you more Robert!!!!
Thank God we have TH-cam now and you can watch all these TV shows anytime you want anywhere you want you can watch them on your smart phone your iPad your high definition 4K TVs is just so great and all the shows an hour available on Blu-ray so you can join him anytime anywhere
I agree with you Phillip: and I Love the DVD sets of TV shows. That is the greatest idea!!!
The Professor played such a serious role on Gilligan's Island but seeing him here he seems as if he was a great guy to hang out with.
+djkrushinphx I thought the same thing!
+djkrushinphx He was, indeed, a great guy - and a much-decorated World War II hero, too (up to and including the Purple Heart, for his heroism as a bomber pilot in the South Pacific). After a "wartime marriage" which lasted only 5 years (1943-1948), he was happily married "till death do us part" twice: the first time for 30 and a half years (July 1949 until his wife Kay's death in January of 1980; two children) and the second time for almost 32 years (May 1982 until his death of kidney failure on 16 January 2014; one stepchild). Check out his IMDB profile.
His movie and TV career spanned from 1950 to 1997. While he appeared in a lot of movies (both big-screen and made-for-TV) and TV series (mostly dramatic) over those years, GILLIGAN'S ISLAND was the second and last TV series in which he played a regular series character for a number of years. The first had been the Western drama BLACK SADDLE, in which he played Marshal Gib Scott, and which aired 20 episodes on NBC (on Saturday evenings) as a mid-season replacement show from January through May of 1959, and which aired another 24 episodes on ABC (on Friday evenings), running the length of the 1959-1960 TV season. He co-starred with Peter Breck and Anna-Lisa on that series. (Yes, he did have a recurring role as an Assistant District Attorney on OWEN MARSHALL, COUNSELOR AT LAW on ABC in the early 1970s, but that was only 8 episodes over the span of 2 years. And yes, he did appear for a while on DAYS OF OUR LIVES in 1980 and on SANTA BARBARA in 1991, but not long-long-term.)
I've seen a couple of movies from very early in his career in which he had an uncredited bit part (RANCHO NOTORIOUS (1952), in which he plays a Chuck-A-Luck wheel spinner early in the movie, and THE TURNING POINT (1952), in which he plays one of the heavies (I think); the latter film was, and hopefully still is, floating around somewhere on TH-cam and is well worth the watch). I have also seen him in a substantial credited part in the 1954 Western RIDE CLEAR OF DIABLO (which stars Audie Murphy (also a much-decorated World War II hero, serendipitously), Dan Duryea, Susan Cabot, Abbe Lane, Paul Birch, Jack Elam, and Denver Pyle); this movie may also still be floating around TH-cam somewhere, and, if it is, it is WELL worth watching!
+jmccracken1963 i hope he rests in peace
I met him & spent time in his company...boy did he love LOVE to tie one on!
Russell also did two cool 'Twilight Zones.'
Love how Dawson makes it feel almost like they’re having a game night at his house.
More like orgy night for him.
Right at the end you can see Natalie Schaefer helping Jim Backus out of his chair.
That has to be the sweetest thing ever to be shown on TH-cam ❤️
Natalie was a wonderful person. She lived with Dawn Wells in her last years. Dawn is a good gal, Tina was just a B**** . Well there, I said it!
And I always had a crush on Dawn Wells. Something about a Kansas girl....
I guess his Parkinson's was starting to affect him.
@@garyvisser9129
She was born in Reno.
@@jrcasselman He had been suffering from the disease for years before he died. I still remember how the disease affected Glen Campbell and Mohammad Ali.
Dawn Wells stayed fine as hell!
My thought too, every time she was on camera.
As well as Angela Cartwright, Marta Krista and June Lockhart
I would marry dawn wells if she was young again, and give her all the love I got! Such a sweet girl!
It's the weed
And her frank response, "Greed," was refreshingly honest.
wow. All the wonderful people from those shows that I grew up watching. Loved them all. Sad that so many of them are gone. To the cast of those shows, thanks for the memories.
Amen!
All of them dead besides Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island. I never seen Lost In Space
Amen brother
@@KennyG_420 both shows are worth watching!
This episode is avialble on DVD. I have it
I used to love watching "Lost in Space, and I never knew who was inside the robot.
When I was a little, I had a crush on "Guy Williams. He's a good-looking man.
Seeing the cast from these old shows brought back great memories of when I was a child. XO
I had a crush on Will (Billy Mummy(?) He was my very first TV crush.😊
My crush was Penny Robinson
My was Don, Mark Goddard. ❤
I still watch it. It's on DVD. Although it's super corny and kind of bad scripts / acting, it's still entertaining. Currently watching the robot planet one.
@@leeshackelford7517 Same. Crazy thing is, she's older than me in real life.
Shipwrecked on an Island vs. Shipwrecked on a Planet!
Yessirreebob! :)
Don't forget that awful cartoon, 'Gillian's Planet'. ... wait, maybe we should.
You're totally right; I never thought of it that way!
Lost in Space was originally intended to be called "The Space Family Robinson"
@Wicker Billy And alas, they never made it... series left unresolved.
That was a great family feud episode. Mary Ann and the professor always come through. Just like on the Island, the professor was the one who was the one who helps everyone. I could tell that Jim Backus was hurting. He was a great actor and had a great career.
guy Williams , this was a rare appearance for him
Yes, and strange that he didn't position hiself as head of the family! Guy never admitted it, But Jonathan stole his thunder! He was the great Zorro! RIP
CLASS! That's all that needs to be said.
I love how Skipper wears his Captain's hat years later...this is when actors had class and humility!
How right you are.
A classless actor would not embrace the fact that his whole career was made from being lucky enough to get that part; certain other(s) in that show didn't like being stereotyped as "that actor who was in Gilligan''s Island"..in other words they take themselves and/or their acting too seriously. Skipper simply embraced it, enjoyed it and was thankful for it. That's class.
@@millionsofrecordsernieb7587 I agree. During the breaks from filming, Tina Louise avoided the other celebrities on "Gilligan's Island." She didn't like to be associated with that show.
@@lynettepalecek3141 to be fair, Tina was super-model hot on the show and could never live up to looking that good. Still pretty shallow as us fans would have loved to see her anyway. The woman who played Mary Ann was blessed with some amazing genes and looked good decade after decade.
@@ravenfn831 Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann, took excellent care of her health both physically and emotionally. She won the beauty contest as Miss Nevada in 1960 when she was 22 years old. Dawn Wells was a very sociable person for her entire life. When her mother got Alzheimers Disease, Dawn Wells took care of her until her mother died. Sadly Dawn Wells also got Alzheimers Disease. She was diagnosed with it 2 years before she died from Alzheimers Disease. The msm is hiding that fact.
Wonderful People!! Gotta love how they included Jim Backus . They treated him so well. on this episode!!! He had Parkinson!s at this time. They treated him so sweetly.
That’s great that producers facilitated Mr. Backus in order to play the game.
June Lockhart was Timmy's mom on "Lassie"... Guy Williams was Zorro.
June was also Dr. Janet Craig on Petticoat Junction!!!
@@bbqking7410 What a lot of people don't know is that June Lockhart also played the little girl in the Movie A Christmas Carol, I believe 1938 it's my Favorite version, also Bob Cratchit was her Father, Gene Lockhart, Gene also played the judge in Miracle on 34th street, and it also was her real Mom, and June's Daughter Anne Lockhart played Lieutenant Sheba in the original Battlestar Galactica series. one of the lead roles as a Fighter pilot. June was always one of my favorite actors and her father was awesome in his movies.
I didn't know Guy was Zorro. Thanks!
Guy Williams, at the time, like George Reeves' Superman -- will always be the original Zorro for me.
He was also part of the cast of the classic TV western Bonanza in 1964 as Ben Cartwright's nephew. Cast, for a brief time -- the character was written out after 5 episodes because of production politics and B/S. It's a shame because the episodes I saw Guy in were quite good.
I never figured out the true politics crap -- he was a name actor, lots of success on his acting resume, handsome and recognizable, probably could've carried the show himself if Lorne Greene wasn't the father. I sometimes wonder if his Argentine good looks would've competed too much with Pernell Roberts (who had hair in 1964) and Michael Landon. Maybe they pressured the producers not to have him join the cast. His 6'3 muscular frame certainly competed with Dan Blocker -- so they could've been Cartwright relatives.
My first crush Angela Cartwright was on Make Room for Daddy
I remember this when it originally aired in the summer of '83. That summer my parents were in Europe, my older brother was in NYC & my younger siblings & I were in the care of our maternal grandparents.
Richard Dawson could play for the "Hogan's Heroes" team.
+Roky Erickson rocks That would be fun watching the old coot run from one side to the next.
+Roky Erickson rocks LOL. So far very funny comments on this sight.
or The Running Man team.
how about F Troop
I love hogan's heros
This is still great to watch. Guy Williams was still so handsome after all the years later but sadly Jim Backus seemed a tad disoriented. Very older gentlemen by then but still great to see him on this show.
+1927Norma Mr. Backus had a stroke.
Coincidently Williams had also had a stroke the previous year
Jim was rather advanced in Parkinson's by the time this was filmed. And I noticed Skipper had a few moments of confusion in a couple of the games. But all in all they all were wonderful from all the teams. :) And seeing "Robot" Bobby May was indeed a new revelation for me.
Guy Williams will always be Zorro to me😊.
Gotta LOVE Mary Ann! Pretty and smart...
Funny, I recall reading once where Billy Mumy, I believe, during an interview, said that Lost in Space was always being compared to Star Trek. He went on to say that it should have been compared to Gilligan's Island especially after the 1st season where it went from being a somewhat serious show to comedic farce. Nice to see Guy Williams; RIP to him and all of the other great actors/actresses from both shows there who are no longer with us.
It always reminded me of Gilligan's Island in space as well, defiantly not Star Trek though!
Gilligan's Island and Lost in Space were comedies - Star Trek was serious so I can understand Bill Mumy saying that.
Oh God, I just had a thought: can you imagine Gilligan and Dr. Smith alone together in the Jupiter 2 trying to fly somewhere?
DALE COOPER There is actually quite a few similarities between LIS and GI
Both were CBS mid sixties series. Both had pilot episodes weren't used but which contained footage added to the regular series run. Both premises feature 7 stranded people, 4 men 3 women. Both had one married couple. Both ran 3 seasons (1 B&W/2 color). Both were successful publicly but got rather negative reviews. Both featured "visitors" who offered help but ultimately left them still stranded. Each had one character who always fouled things up. Both series were cancelled even though they were still getting decent ratings. Both series originally ended without resolution. And both did well in syndication and have a large fan-base. There's more but that's what I could come up with at the moment.
Ya it was Space Nuts
I am still in love with Dawn Wells
This show went down hill after Richard he was the best TV host, him and Mr Alex on jeopardy both were top notch entertaining guys. Miss both. 🇬🇧 will never be the same again 💔 😔 🇬🇧
Dawn was/is really smart and great looking!
Thats funny both of them sort of based on Swiss Family Robinson in a way.
Dawn Wells .................drooling.
I don't know... I thought Angela Cartwright looked pretty damn good. And whether it was genes, or plastic surgery, Natalie (Mrs. Howell) held up pretty well.
In his declining years, Backus was the most admirable.
Smh classic tv with my dad, I loved it and miss it too. Gilligan's Island, Sanford and Son, The Ropers, The Jeffersons, classic Feud, Three Stooges, GoodTimes, Sigh....💖I miss my pops and shows like this.
Gilligan island I miss good old days
Those were the days. :-)
I miss good comedy. Not the lazy one-liners that are "funny" ad epitomize modern television.
@@michaelsorrells4649 COMADYS
I'd be willing to bet that most of you making the "creep" remarks about Richard kissing all the ladies wasn't even alive when he started doing it in the 70's. It was a whole different time then, that's why. The only people who were freaked out by it back then were the blue haired old granny types and the southern racists because yes, Richard kissed ALL the ladies regardless of race or age. There was nothing wrong with it. Sure beats all the backstabbing and bitchy shows that are on nowadays.
Absolutely correct Suzibird307. It was one of those you had to live in the era things. Prior to the Feud, many of us who were around back then, already knew him as a cast member on Hogans Heroes. It was Mr Dawsons thing to be a charmer to the ladies on the show and part of why it became popular. He was the original host and the show ran many years with him at the helm.
uh, sweetie...you need to get out more often. It's a common phrase referring to the old ladies with white hair who go to salons to get it coloured and end up with blue, sometimes pink or sometimes even purplish unintended highlights because white/grey hair doesn't take colour too well. Google it if you don't believe me. Ask a beautician if you don't believe me. Watch "Are you being served?" if you don't believe me. Mrs. Slocomb on that show played up that stereotype really comically. Don't criticize what you don't know, luv. For the record, NO...I was not high at all during the 70's...I was just a kid. However, the 80's was a whole other story ;-)
LOL...you've got issues.
Suzibird307
so true! one of my grandmothers had blue hair all the time. she had been blond as a child, & never got the pretty grey/white/silver that DARK hair turns. she must have thought the blue was an improvement over sandy-grey.
i think "mrs. slocomb" was a different story, though. hers was pink, purple, green, striped, etc. (`8^D .... she was one of my all-time favorite comedians [comediennes], as was kathy staff {nora batty}!!
I remember the elderly ladies with tinted hair from when I was little in the 70's too. We had a lady who attended my church that wore feathered pillbox style hats that perfectly matched her hair tints. I remember pink, blue, purple, and yellow tints. Reminded me of Easter Eggs.
so loved lost in space they played it in the early 1970;s when i was around 8yrs old im 50 now god time flys i miss my childhood friends so much love you guys i still think of you
When game show hosts wore three piece tuxedos and pocket watch and lapel flower!!
Class... Notice also Natalie has her quizzing glasses she used as Lovey Howell! Sweet.
Marta Kristen vs. Dawn Wells, wow!! That had to be planned.
Probably none of the guys wanted to pick a lollipop. And in the female Hollywood star world, age before beauty.
Sorry none can beat dawn
Even while facing death Jim Backus always kept his sense of humor. Sadly Mary Ann and Ginger are the only ones still alive from Gilligan's Island.
Love them all!
Yeah, and Tina Louise blamed the show for ruining her career by typecasting her. If true, that's a shame. In the three years she spent with the cast, she got a chance to do all kinds of quirky skits and stuff. She was
actually a talented lady. It's too bad her career ground to a halt after Gilligan's Island.
@@williamanthony9090 that's what she says, but everyone who gets typecast can do that to themselves to a certain extent, too. their first mistake is not embracing it, and in tina's case you can clearly see the ego involved.
@Mort Coil h
boomzer t-man don’t know about that. she has a big role on Dallas.
Holy crap, I have uncovered something sacred.
Give it up for Jim Backus. Declining health but still put on a good show. Thanks for posting. Really neat to see all those stars again. Yes, the Professor was king at the final round. Love the enthusiasm.
Mark J. Redmond- Yeah, I'm not sure I can ever remember a contestant being as strong in that second spot at the end. It was pretty darn impressive!
But the 3 from the Gilligan's Island family died around the same time? 1989 (Backus), 1990 (Hale), and 1991 (Schafer).
Professor knew how to cure radiation poisoning by eating soap but didn't know how to prevent a cold. Haha
@@succulentcranberry Natalie Schafer really looks great for 75 - she constantly lowered her age to keep in work. Jim would have been around 71 I think. He seems to be in a constant state of bewilderment, but every time he still pulls out either a good or funny answer.
I have to admit, Guy Williams aged very little in 15 years. And my first love, Marta Kristen. Babe!!
He was the hottest Zorro ever!
guy Williams was gorgeous.
Quite surreal seeing "The Skipper" anywhere but on the island.
This is a true story, and it may be hard to believe, but when Gilligan's Island was cancelled, Alan Hale cried like a baby, and it's because he loved the show and the cast so much, and I know that we all loved that terrific show and cast also.
I don't find it hard to believe at all. Bill Mumy said he cried when Lost in Space was cancelled.
Alan Hale Jr was a great guy on and offscreen. I was stunned that he still looked great after Gilligan's Island was cancelled. But Mr. Hale took his role as the Skipper to heart. Sherwood Schwartz (the creator and executive producer) said that Mr. Hale would visit children in the hospital dressed as the Skipper.
RetroGuy76 that’s the sweetest story. I actually got choked up reading it. Alan’s wife said that he was so incredibly grateful for the Skipper role and felt like he had been born to do it and be it.
Quite the opposite of some of the other cast members who resented being type cast for life, especially Tina Louise.
3 Great shows on TV then. Gilligans Island,Lost in Space and the original Family Feud.
Now we got crap on TV.
Interestingly, we have a new "Lost in Space", Steve Harvey kills it on Family Feud, but conspicuously missing, a new Gilligan's Island
Get Netflix and/or Amazon Prime. You'll change your mind.
A modern day show of 5 Dr Who doctors versus the NCIS or Hawaii50 team would be interesting.
Or an old Star Trek v new Star Trek, sadly without and Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin.
@@sonshinelight and I hope it stays that way. Modern TV shows are horrible.
@@ravenfn831 i believe what you say to be totally true. Me, as for my part, don't watch TV. Too busy. Maybe a movie with my missus
Notice Jim Backus uses a controller instead of going up to the two-person podium when it's his turn for face-off. This is because he was suffering from Parkinson's disease. He does a good job on the show though, gave a key answer correctly at one point. He died of complications from pneumonia six years after the show aired.
Wow, Marta Kristen and Dawn Wells were still smoking hot.
Yeah they were both smoking hot!
Natalie Schafer looks wonderful!
She was 83 years old at the time.
John Greene Really? Holy crap. She was one healthy and lovely 83-year-old.
SHE WAS BORN IN 1900 AND THAT WAS FROM 1978. SHE WAS 78.
This particular Family Feud show was from 1984.
You can't find a greater bunch if peeps by the way I met Mr. Vincent Price and got an autograph from Adam West and as a kid I use to imatate Mr.Magoo
People that think his kissing the lady's on the show is creepy probably weren't around back then. It was looked at as a respectful greeting. Know days some young people think that it's creepy. I'll tell you what is creepy. People so busy looking down at there phone all day. So focused on their phone they hardly look up long enough to see where they're going.( That includes while driving) It was a much friendlier time socially to. Not like all of the creeps cruising the internet looking to rip you off or worse! Everybody has their own opinion tho. This is mine.
William Horsley Well said, brother!
Gilligan's Island and Lost in Space were two of my favorite Shows.
A few "quick hits" on this episode:
1. "Name an Alfred Hitchcock movie." Notice that Angela Cartwright names THE BIRDS (1962) - which happens to be the Hitchcock film that her older sister, Veronica Cartwright, was one of the principals in the cast. (Veronica played Cathy Brenner, the much-younger sister of Mitch Brenner (played by Rod Taylor). She was 13 years old at the time, just one year after she had played another great movie role - namely, that of Rosalie Wells in the outstanding 1961 United Artists film version of Lillian Hellman's play THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.)
2. "Name an Alfred Hitchcock movie." I'm pretty sure that Guy Williams had STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951) in mind when he answered LADY ON A TRAIN. But there is a very good 1945 Universal movie titled LADY ON A TRAIN, with Deanna Durbin, Dan Duryea, Ralph Bellamy, Edward Everett Horton, Allen Jenkins, David Bruce, George Coulouris, Patricia Morison, Elizabeth Patterson, and William Frawley among the outstanding ensemble cast. It's well worth watching - and it is available on DVD.
3. "Name a magazine that gives people advice on how to improve their love lives." I had to laugh out loud to hear the answer "Hustler" given by June Lockhart, of all people. And I was surprised when it wasn't one of the listed answers to the survey!
4. Russell Johnson is very much in his actor/"Professor" persona in the lightning round - but he's also very good in his choice of answers, as is Dawn Wells, and that persona works!
5. Does anybody know which five cast members from HAWAIIAN EYE were on their FAMILY FEUD team? (They appear on set at the end, when the amount which each team raised for their designated charity was announced.) I know who was on the GILLIGAN'S ISLAND and LOST IN SPACE teams (obviously) and the BATMAN team (I've seen the FF episode which pits the BATMAN team against the GILLIGAN'S ISLAND team, and which aired the day before this episode), but not HAWAIIAN EYE. I recognize Connie Stevens, and I think Troy Donahue and Poncie Ponce as well, but not the other two or three. Douglas Mossman, perhaps? Anthony Eisley? Mel Prestridge? Robert Conrad (though I doubt it)? Grant Williams? Well, let me know if you know......
Anthony Eisley and Grant Williams
Guy Williams should have never bowed out of Bonanza, as Pernell Roberts' replacement. He'd have spent the next decade as a lead cast member of a top rated and iconic TV show.
I agree with you but it wasn't his choice to leave. Roberts decided to stay for another year. Williams said that the whole experience was unpleasant for him. The other actors really didn't want him there, especially Landon who felt threatened by Williams good looks.
@gerrydooley. Thank you for this information. As a fan of all these series, I found that data quite valuable.
*They live forever on video and floating across the Milky Way...........along with Wilbur and Mr ED*
You are so right Nikola. Radio and TV waves will beam around the heavens forever.
@@eyecomeinpeace2707 I agree.I believe that if people go far enough out into space, they can receive broadcasts of shows like The Green Hornet and I Love a Mystery as clearly as it it was in their heyday. Anything is possible. Anything.
Mary Ann and Penny on the same stage. ...wow...
Just thinking its MaryAnns not Dasy Dukes. Thinking Mary Ann was first. Don't matter.or does it?
Yes, Penny, My first major crush!!!!
Forget Angela can’t right now she was super hot too but she still is super hot and Mar. Ann it’s still super hot and I think she’s like 78 years old now❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@philiphoward1731-Mary Ann-(Dawn Wells), I agree with you, very beautiful. I have a long list, Jennie Garth, Jennifer Love Hewitt, so many!!! Who are some of your other crushes?
Well, when I was growing up I could never forget. Maureen McCormick from the Brady Bunch, Melody Patterson, from F-Troop, Justine Bateman from Family Ties. Christine Lakin from the Show Step By Step
When Richard Dawson left the Family Fued, I did as well. Its never been the same.
Agree. I hated all the kissing but he was my fav host (host? Is that correct term?)
I hung in there until Steve Harvey. He's excruciatingly unfunny.
He was an idiot.
Ab Ba he was British. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dawson
Ab Ba Italian?? What??
I know that I'm showing my age (and my avid interest in the movies) when I say that I am old enough to remember:
June Lockhart as Ruth Martin (the mother) on LASSIE (including some of the first-run episodes, but mostly in reruns), as well as Dr. Janet Craig on the last 2 seasons of PETTICOAT JUNCTION (after LOST IN SPACE was cancelled) - and also some roles from her movie days (the 1938 A CHRISTMAS CAROL, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS, and T-MEN - all well worth watching);
Guy Williams as Zorro in ZORRO (but only in re-runs);
Angela Cartwright as Linda Williams in MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY (including some of the first-run episodes, as well as in reruns), as well as Angela in the 1962 film LAD: A DOG;
Alan Hale, Jr. back in his movie days, in such films as IT HAPPENED ON FIFTH AVENUE, THE GUNFIGHTER (no screen credit, but still his role is quite memorable), SILVER LODE, A MAN ALONE, and THE KILLER IS LOOSE (all of which are well worth watching);
Jim Backus from back in his movie days, in such films as M (the 1951 American remake), HALF ANGEL, DEADLINE - U.S.A, PAT AND MIKE, DON'T BOTHER TO KNOCK, THE SQUARE JUNGLE, MEET ME IN LAS VEGAS, JOHNNY COOL, IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD, and THE WHEELER DEALERS (all of which are well worth your watching), as well as his many "Mr. Magoo" cartoons - but not, oddly enough, either of the sitcoms in which he starred before GILLIGAN'S ISLAND (I MARRIED JOAN (1952-1955) and THE JIM BACKUS SHOW (1960-1961);
Natalie Schafer from back in her movie days, in such movies as WONDER MAN, DISHONORED LADY, THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE, THE SNAKE PIT, and TAKE CARE OF MY LITTLE GIRL (all of which are well worth watching);
Russell Johnson from back in his movie days, principally as Jed Ringer in RIDE CLEAR OF DIABLO (well worth your watching), but also in an uncredited part in the 1952 film THE TURNING POINT (also well worth your watching). Not being a fan of science-fiction movies, I have not seen THIS ISLAND EARTH or IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, both of which featured him as one of the co-stars in the cast.
And the others here? I can't really say that I've seen any of them in anything from movies or TV before GILLIGAN'S ISLAND or LOST IN SPACE, though I have seen Dawn Wells as Miss Lorilee Lee in the 1983 made-for-TV movie HIGH SCHOOL, U.S.A. (She was one of quite a number of TV sitcom icons from the 1950s and 1960s who played roles ranging from cameo parts to integral parts of the cast in that very funny film. By all means, watch it if you can find it (heck, it might even be up on TH-cam!); you'll have a great time doing so.
But I hope that I've pointed some of you in directions that may lead you to some "video treasures" that you might not have known about - or, if you did know about them but haven't thought about them in a while, then maybe prodded your memory and made you think about watching them for a first time (or another time).
+jmccracken1963 Thanks for the memories, jmccracken!
jmccracken1963 Wasn't Backus in Rebel without a cause?
You are forgetting a minor point of tv trivia: 2 of the Gilligan's Island cast members were guests on the same 60s CBS show....Wild, Wild, West, though not the same episode. Alan Hale Jr. actually played a US Secret Service agent and I forget what exactly Dawn Wells did on her episode, perhaps "damsel in distress" ?
Russell Johnson, in his earliest roles played a heavy of sorts, though I am not able to say where I would have seen him without an assist from Wiki.
And yes, Jim Backus played the father of James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause.
Russell Johnson was in two episodes of The Twilight Zone: "Back There" and "Execution".
Love all the actors - Marta Kristen looks gorgeous at any age. This was filmed in 1983 according to the IMDB.
You're so right. Even now, Marta Kristen is gorgeous.
So in 1983 people didnt know "washing hands" was the #1 way to prevent a cold??
Wow.
Yes 1983 also according to the Roman numerals in the final credits of this episode.
@@dcdete A rather redundent comment
I always thought Alan Hale Jr. came across as the nicest guy in the world and he does here, too. A guy you'd want to have a couple of beers with or invite to a party.
And really was that way in daily life. He would appear at shows across the USA for boats, etc.
Alan Hale Jr. was one of the nicest guys one would ever want to meet. He's the kind of guy that'd give you a bear hug, slap you on the back and give you the shirt off his back.
I agree, a big loveable teddy bear. Rest In Peace Alan.
Love Alan Hale!
He owned a seafood restaurant in Los Angeles around the time this episode was recorded. It was called "The Lobster Barrel" and he often gave away Skipper's hats to Birthday guests in his restaurant in person.
If only I could turn back time to all my best TV shows in the 60s rest in peace you were loved by all of us
I grew up watching both shows and wouldn't have missed either for the world. What I think is wonderful about this FF episode is how they treated with utter kindness Jim Backus. He was already very ill at this time.
Jim Backus is the voice of Mr Magoo.
Jim Backus is also James Dean's father in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE.
I sure miss these people...
Me, too!
Family Feud what fun,! :-) but no one will do a better job at hosting is Richard Dawson although many men can close Richard Dawson will always have a place deep in our hearts
Very true. He freely admitted that he was drunk on many episodes and also regularly did cocaine, as well. The latter was probably a way to wake him up a bit from the stupor. He was still fantastic.
@@ravenfn831 BUZZR LET'S PLAY
I wonder why no Bob Denver, he was still alive then- after all he's Gilligan!
That's exactly why He's not there. Just by showing up, " little buddy"would have completely ruined their chances at winning!
No Ginger either!
@@markquick7276 Ginger reportedly rarely if ever did anything in public for the show as she was not happy with her looks as she had aged, put on a little weight and things and did not do much, but i saw her in a couple of things and she still looked good.
Maybe his schedule wasn't clear, so he couldn't make it?
@ David So true, And he was a school teacher in real life! Loved the show! Great memories from my childhood! Oh well.
Oh, pretty Penny...one of my first t.v. crushes...And Mary-Ann..!
it is such a treat to see such great actors. here in 2016 most are gone, but they are still beloved. Richard Dawson always seemed like an old flirt.
Dawn Wells is still around, and still looks amazing. While "Ginger or Mary Ann?" may have been a serious question back in the 1960s, today it's no contest!
It was creepy watching him kiss those women on the lips but amazing to see old favourites.
I had a huge crush on the professor. Handsome and smart....there wasn't much that man couldn't do with a coconut!
Janina S. Except fix that damn boat!
number six LOL :-)
Man, I was so in love with Angela Cartright. She was so hot!
My first crush from Make Room for Daddy
Me too!!!! The kind of girl you wanna take home to muthah.
Irwin Allen and Sherwood Schwartz must've known each other. They both created and produced shows with practically the same premise
Jim Bachus/ Mr MaGoo
Maryanne=Hot
Minus Bob Denver and Billy Mumy? Gilligan's Island WITHOUT gilligan, and lost is Space WITHOUT Will Robinson?
+Laurence Tenenbaum Bill Mumy had some what regrets not doing this show because it would have been his last time to see Guy Williams. I should also point out that was Bill's ONLY REGRET not doing Family Feud.
+Laurence Tenenbaum dont forget dr.smith you bubble headed boobie
+robert szvetics Refuse to do Family Feud. According to to Bill Mumy Johnathan Harris called Billy on the phone and said, "Family Feud?! Dickey Dawson?!! You won't be kissing me, dear boy! Are you doing it?!"
Billy, ";Ahhh, no I.m not..."
Johnathan, "Good. good. If they don't have us they don't have nothin, baby!"
Interestingly, they both refused to do cameos in the 1998 Lost In Space movie.
larry potter they should at least had johnny do dr.smith he was the only smith i bet the movie would of been a big hit with johnathan in it and he wasnt that old yet.
+robert szvetics Indeed, you cackling clod!
I had a crush on Marta Kristin from Lost in Space.
Every young boy had a crush on Marta
david prince
Me too!
13:09 -- Is that a coincidence that both the "brains" of the two shows are at the buzzer together? The Robot and The Professor.
What could a woman accidentally burn?
7.13 Her Bra!
Good ol' school feminism...
I am pretty sure that in 1983 that was still a familiar saying. Richard Dawson never made a smarmy remark but just accepted it as a smart answer. (He did look over at the director as if wondering if the censor board would censor it.)
At first I wondered why Guy Williams was not the leader of the Lost in Space team. June Lockhart really was a bigger star.
Guy had retired to Argentina years before where he was a hugely popular because of his playing Zorro in the TV series.
He flew in specially to be on the Feud.
Eight years after filming this Guy Williams was found dead in his home after having not been seen for about a week.
I believe he died of a heart attack at 64 or 65.
No brain aneurysm
@@travels129 Thanks, wiki is not always the most reliable source.
I don't think Guy wanted to be in the lead position and he was already visiting in the states when they asked him to do it. I believe he did it as a favor to June.
yes it was an aneurysm but some of the news reports at the time did say heart attack@@Bill23799
June Lockhart looks great!
Yes she did. I saw her daughter at a comic con in Austin a few years ago. I was awestruck and stood there transfixed - staring at her. Then she turned and looked at me. My thoughts were = "Goodness! How she looks so much like her beautiful mother." Her thoughts = "Why is that pervert staring at me?" Sigh!
It may just be me but Guy Williams was still a great looking guy and the cast on both sides still looked very good all the years later. I did notice I think Jim Backus had aged a lot and seemed a little farther away perhaps age issues but this was fun to watch. Thank you for the upload.
+Kim Clayton Also, what's even more incredible about Jim Backus is that he was suffering from Parkinson's disease, and yet he came to do this and was on of the best players. A pretty incredible man.
+Paul Whipple Thank you for that information about Jim Backus. I wasn't aware he had Parkinsons at the time of this. Even more amazing he did so well. Great character actor and loved his voice. Mr. Magoo. lol. I am showing my age friend.
+Paul Whipple Guy Williams had a stroke and still come to do the show also still handsome.
+Kim Clayton Oddly enough, they both died within 2 months of each other in 1989. Guy in April and Jim in June.
I agree with you about Guy, a great looking and classy man. Just a few years before this he was appearing as Zorro in Argentina to great acclaim.
Dawn Wells remains a sweetheart. Unfortunately, she was hit hard during the banking issues in 2008, and lost her retirement, then was in an accident and had to have serious surgery and recovery time. After more than two months in the hospital, she was $180k in debt with medical and IRS bills. Fortunately, fans heard of her plight and almost $200k through GoFundMe poured in, a project set up by one of her close friends.

Really n they couldn't get Mumy, Goddard or Harris,,.so they grab the guy in the Robot suit? And Giligans Island with no Gilligan? BTW Angela was so adorable here.
Bob May was very much an important part of the show and a valued cast member.
I agree, first thing that hit me, too.
Sad to know 4/5 here on Gilligan’s Island team are now deceased...5 if you include Bob (Gilligan himself). Nice to see most of them here playing together AND WINNING. But WHY the Motion Picture fund? WHAT good do THEY do??? I want to know. ...why not the Cancer society..or research for Parkinson’s disease?? This would be more appropriate since Cancer is what Bob had at the end..and Jim had the Parkinson’s disease.
I like Steve Harvey but I love Richard Dawson so much better as a host. Of course I love the original anyway, maybe because it was more family friendly. Far too many sexual overtones in the newer versions.
Comparatively, no. It's backwards to get upset about people's trivial, harmless behaviors in general, but that the Steve Harvey Family Feud's overt, sexually provocative survey questions and answers and Harvey's reactions to them are somehow completely innocent while Richard Dawson getting a peck in on the ladies on the show is offered as evidence of PURE EEEEVIL is backwards on a whole other level. Grow up.
Amen... totally useless innuendos. And at least Richard Dawson knows how to say the word "good," not "we gotta gooh one for you" like Harvey.
Always a class act he was from Hogans Heroes
Everything is being over sexualized now . Its all part of the plan to push promiscuous sex and homosexuality to children.
I agree and too many steve harvey polls
Guy Williams went to live in Arengentia and die there...
I think he was already living there by this time.
What is Arengentia?
@@hmontalvo67 ...Sorry. Argentina she meant.
Nothing wrong with that. Apparently the people there loved Guy Williams, and he had a really happy time living the remainder of his life there.
I guess in 1983 no one washed their hands to prevent the spread of germs? (re: top ways to keep from catching a cold)
I just came across this set of videos. So glad I did! What a joy to see the actors from some of my favorite TV shows as a child. What wonderful people they appear to have been. Sweet memories to always cherish.
I love it! The bonus round was, 🎵 "The 🎵 Professor 🎵 and 🎵 Mary Ann!" 🎵
Guy Williams/Zorro June Lockhart/Lassie and many movies
Harris would not have likely attended unless being well paid. They were not paid well for Lost in Space or the other show. It went as high in Season 3 per Harris to 3500 a week compared a few years later starting at 50 thousand per show All in the family up to 300 thousand a show! Harris was a businessman who loved to perform & he loved his fans but he was not going to do things for free. None of these people were wealthy other than the one who played professor on Lost in Space from the stock market. The rest might have had one maybe two million if lucky in older age but no wealthy.
Born in 1960, two of my all time favorite shows. Wonderful actors. Warm memories. Thanks for sharing Ty
Back when Family Feud was clean and a real family show.
Sooooo, no issue with Richard kissing EVERY female.
Marvin Meeker - none whatsoever. He was no perv - a total classy gentleman.
I'm not so sure that nowadays, the kissing of women guests on the lips would fly tho.
Just imagine asking these classy women a sexual oriented question?
Yes all of the questions now have sexual innuendo.
Man, Marta and Dawn always had beautiful legs.
LOVE your Tor Johnson photo. He was the COOLEST!
...and Bob Denver (Gilligan)... and Tina Louise (The Moviestar)...🐒
God bless Jim Backus,by George! (it couldn't hurt)
wow....this is wild. Have to watch the Batman Vs Lost in Space next
Mary Ann and Penny. Yummy.
