Ahoy There Maties! Welcome to the September edition of the Gilligan's Island Fan Club. We still have over 2,200 members world wide, so please keep telling your friends! Still kinda slow on the island, but lets see if we can dig something up for you. One of our loyal fan club members, Jamie Melville, has sent us the long awaited song entitled, "La Isla Gilligan", and it is available for your listening pleasure. We've been trying to get this song for years, and now you can hear it and follow along with the words to the song. It originally aired on the Dr. Demento show, and it is a parody of a famous Madonna song. Check it out, you'll love it! http://home.san.rr.com/gilligan/lagilligan.html The good folks at Seeing-Stars.Com have just added a wealth of information about the Gilligan's Island cast on their site. Herald Hecuba, Thurston, Skipper, and other island facts can be seen here at: http://home.san.rr.com/gilligan/seeingstars.html I realize that this is too late, but fan club member Matt told us the day it aired. A show on called G vs. E (Good Versus Evil) was on and showed a clip of Dawn Wells (Mary Ann). She was only in the hour show for about 5 seconds, and believe me, the show was not worth watching. It was probably the most boring show I have ever seen, but of course I needed to check it out. Dawn was very good in her 5 second part! Now for all of you cable subscriber's out there. September 7th is going to air the long awaited "The Castaways on Gilligan's Island" at 8:00am on TNT. The Leslie Uggams Show will have Bob Denver (Gilligan) as a guest on Sept 8th at 6:30pm, and Sept 22nd at 12:30am on the NOST - Nostalgia Channel. Bob Denver will also be a guest in "The Love Boat" airing Sept 22nd at 9:00pm and 12:00pm on the NOST - Nostalgia Channel. You can see Bob Denver on ALF (remember that show?) on Thurs, Sept 23rd at 8:00am and 6:30pm on the VISN - Odyssey Channel. Can anybody tape the sitcoms for me? We can't seem to be able to pick up NOST and VISN on the island. The Professor is good, but not that good! He did manage to get us HBO tho'! :-) Apparently there is a contest in a small city, and they are asking "which book was Willy Gilligan mentioned." Some of my books have been loaned out, so I don't have my whole collection of Gilligan books with me. If any of you know the answer to this question, could you please drop me a note so that I can pass the word on to those people entering the contest? Do you have a collection of Gilligan videos that you have taped over the years, but are just missing maybe one, two, or 12 of them? If so, check out our classified section and you can trade with many people and finish your full Gilligan collection. http://home.san.rr.com/gilligan/classified.html Western Union just sent us the tape to the Mary Ann commercial. We should have that on the page very soon. Please check our site soon. It's CHAT TIME! Wanna Chat with other Gilligan fans? Saturday, September 11. Go here for complete details. http://home.san.rr.com/gilligan/chat.html Looks like that's it for now. The Professor just spotted this big 6 foot spider in one of the caves, and we are trying to get it drunk so we can capture it. Only one thing wrong....... they want to use me as bait!
