Gilligan's Island OCTOBER 2015 Adieu to the Lagoon By Elizabeth Gulick You may have noticed a bit of dust as construction on the new Lagoon Production Support Building is well underway. This building, containing three floors of production support space and two floors of parking, will be named for the shallow, oval shaped lagoon originally built on that site in 1952 for the Republic Pictures filmFair Wind to Java. The film, starring Fred MacMurray and Vera Ralston (wife of Herbert Yates, President of Republic Pictures), recreated the eruption in Indonesia of the volcano Krakatau in 1883, with notable miniatures created by legendary special effects guys the Lydecker brothers. But of course the most notable use of the lagoon was as the outdoor setting of Gilligan’s Island from 1964-1967. Sherwood Schwartz, the creator, attributed the idea for the show to a public speaking class at Yale, where he had to give a one-minute speech about the one item he would like to have if he was stranded on a desert island. Initially they tried shooting the show in Malibu, but fog caused too much downtime. So the lagoon was refurbished and voilá. The show usually spent half of every day shooting at the lagoon, with occasional breaks for noise from the 101 Freeway. The waterfall was just a spigot turned on and off at the top of the hill. During the winter months, the lagoon hovered around 40°, so Bob Denver had to wear a wet suit under his clothes. Most of the cast did not particularly like having to go in the lagoon and it was rumored around the lot that when they would occasionally drain the lagoon, bicycles and bodies were found at the bottom. Bicycles true, bodies only myth. gilligan’S ISLAND cast at the lagoon - and below setting up for a shot. The lagoon is far left just below the cliffs in this 1955 photo of Republic Studios. 1 PRODUCTION SCHEDULE ADR . .5091 Backlot Services . 5667 Carla’s Café Commissary . .5692 Car Wash . .5042 Client Services . .5099 CPR & First Aid Training (monthly) . .5256 Emergency Line . .5555 Graphics . 5395 Grip Dept . 5711 Hair Salon . .6000 Health on Wheels . 818 .876 .4755 House Internet Access . .5218 Janitorial . .5966 CSI: CYBER Joe’s Gym . .5099 (Eye Productions/CBS) Lighting . 5349 Medical . .5341 ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT Notary . .5837 (CBS TV Distribution/CBS) Parking . 5165 Parking Place Signs . .5670 THE INSIDER Paint Dept . .5396/5858 (CBS TV Distribution/CBS) Safety & Environmental Concerns . .4444 Safety Hotline (anonymous reporting) . 6078 LAST MAN STANDING Sign Shop . .5395 (20th Century Fox Television/ABC) Special Effects . .5671 Supply Station . .5001 BROOKLYN NINE-NINE Take 5 Coffee Shop . .5979 (Universal Television/FOX) Telephones . 4800 RECYCLING GRANDFATHERED Stage and Media . .5661 (Touchstone Television Productions/FOX) Paint, Solvents, Spray Cans, Rags, Brush Wash, Batteries,Videotape, CDs, DVDs THE ODD COUPLE Office Recycling . .5966 (Eye Productions/CBS) Toner Cartridges, Paper, Cans THE TALK E-Waste Recycling . .5396 n n n Anything with a circuit board, ie TVs, (CBS TV Studios/CBS) Monitors, Recorders, Keyboards and BABY DADDY Florescent Lights (Prodco/ABC Family) The Doctor is IN Every Pens . interoffice to Thursdays from 10 am to 3 pm TVC RECORD CENTER, RM . 73 COLONY HEALTH WHEELS!

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Gillian's Island by Cat Johnson 15 Fateful Facts About Gilligan’s Island. The 98 th —and final—episode of Gilligan’s Island was broadcast on April 17, 1967. Though never a critical favorite, the show was still a solid ratings hit and the cast and crew had every expectation of returning in the fall for a fourth season. But at the last minute CBS needed to find some room on the schedule for Gunsmoke , the favorite show of Babe Paley, wife of network president William Paley. So Gilligan got the axe and, at least as far as viewers know, the cast is still stranded somewhere in the Pacific. Forty-eight years after that final wrap party, however, Gilligan’s Island is still on the air. It was sold into syndication and has been broadcasting reruns continuously in 30 different languages around the world. Just sit right back and you’ll hear some tales of everyone’s favorite castaways. 1. IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A “METAPHORICAL SHAMING OF WORLD POLITICS.” One day in a public speaking class at New York University, the professor had students compose an impromptu one-minute speech on this topic: If you were stranded on a desert island, what one item would you like to have? Sherwood Schwartz was a student in that class, and the question so intrigued him that it remained lodged in the back of his mind for many years. After working for some time as a comedy writer for other shows, Schwartz decided to pitch his own idea for a sitcom.

"The old Vitagraph lot, then ABC, now Disney in East Hollywood, once had a large backlot, but by the time of television, the backlot was gone. For an early live western tv show, the side of one of the sound stages was painted to look like a western town or desert scene or something, and the show was show live from in front of that painted building." - Jerry S. "I've been told that all the scenes [in 42nd STREET] inside the theater were shot at Prospect on [what was known as] the Vitaphone theater stage. That stage later became Studio E at ABC, (now Stage 5). Eventually, the auditorium end of the stage was demolished to make way for a new studio now called Stage 4. The Vitaphone stage was sort of like the Phantom stage at Universal in that a portion of it had a permanent auditorium set with seats and boxes. It was removed once ABC took over. The old TV series SPACE PATROL was shot on those combined stages." - Richard P.

  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

    Bardo Zsa Zsa Sample First Chapter by C. B. Murphy And Nicolas Murphy “It is the modern Kabbalists who know there is always a remainder when a duplicate is made.” -John Durham Peters, PhD “Girls just wanna have fun.” -Xenu, Grand High Lord of the Galaxy 2 PART 1 Chapter 1 Gilligan’s Island Light suffused the room from a source he could not determine. It was happening again as it had happened before, but this time Russ was awake. The greenish glow made his vintage This Island Earth poster look prophetic, and suddenly there was nothing funny about the wasp-headed monster pawing the lead actress while flying saucers zipped across a background of exploding planets. Small creatures were definitely in his room. He saw one when it stopped briefly at the foot of his bed. The small humanoid had wrinkly skin, a lightbulb-shaped head, and large dark eyes that seemed to let out no emotion. He knew he should be panicking but surprisingly he wasn’t, assuming they had already done something to calm his brain. It amused him that Hollywood had gotten some of the details right, though the curious lizard-like creatures scampering around didn’t seem to be anywhere near Spielberg’s fantasy of interplanetary friendliness. Russ’ body and mouth were frozen by some unknown force that prevented him from calling out to his wife, sleeping peacefully next to him in her flowered cotton nightgown. Part of him was glad he wasn’t able to awaken her. This wasn’t a couple’s thing.

With his selection of characters -- the wealthy, the glamour girl, a brainiac, a wholesome girl, the misfit and the resourceful bull of a man -- Schwartz had hoped that the audience would find someone on the island with whom they could identify.
