    Jerry Paris directed , The Dick Van Dyke Show and Gary Marshall of Happy Days wrote the script , what a gem . Bob was a great father, comedian and human being. I think his oldest son was in the industry as well with special effects. And also a son with special needs.I think we all owe Bob a "way to go little buddy " when you watch today. "😊😊😊

    Producers and actors had to take a shot which in many cases changed their lives forever. However, many shows like this one went right to the waste basket for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, the poster of this channel has struck gold and shared it with those of us who are interested in these shows that were "pitched and produced" but never picked up. Thanks for this great channel.

      @LoriKasprzak-kc7xc I never cared to bother to go into details about who Bob Denver's sons and daughters were at first. It was kept secret from me. As much as I never knew who Jim Backus' wife was in reality. I was thinking about creating a Gilligan's Planet comic book series that features real-life people who make these cameo appearances in the comic book series. It's people who are like Brock Davenport, Richard Baynard, Chris Sefloogue, and Mila Smith, who would make these cameo appearances. I've also added one extra character for the Gilligan's Planet comic book series. That's the 5 ft. 6 long straight white blonde hair crystal blue eye black lady named Teresa Dortch. She looks like the black Stephanie Courtney, who does all of these Progressive TV commercials. She's supposed to be a drug store clerk who's is supposed to be Professor Roy Hinckley's roommate. Sometimes, she bosses around Willie Gilligan. She has the brains of this outfit. 🧠 ⚫️ 🐈‍⬛️ ◼️ ⬛️ ♟️ ▪️ ⚫️ 👁 🧐 🥽 🙄 🙈 🤩 👁 🩵 🔮 👱🏻‍♀️ 👸 👱‍♂️ 🤔 😕 😅 😪 🤣 😂 🤔

    Not the best, but you can tell the actors were trying with the material that they had. Abbott and Costello vibe. It was just annoying how the Austin guy kept saying "I got it!"
    Bob Denver still in his "Gilligan" persona somewhat, just explained as him being an absent-minded professor. Meant to be a mystery of the week comedy with a horror twist. I'm thinking that the network was thinking "where can we fit this in our lineup?" and just gave up.
