As a kid, I understood the concept of TV, but didn’t understand why the cameramen didn’t rescue them.

Natalie Schaefer was 13 years older than Jim Backus. She was far and away the oldest cast member and was apparently scared to death the producers would figure it out and not cast and/or fire her for being too old.
rbudrick
Yeah, Mr. Howell, right?

I find Dorothy hot

"Thurston Howell gets cucked by Gilligan" would be an interesting fanfic, that's for sure
homemadechef
It's real and I found it and I hate you and the person who wrote it

What did you expect? Of course it exists, Rule 34

Toward the end she played the part while suffering from cancer.

I’d give her a three hour tour

With your little buddy? ;-)

Old people back then were a lot younger.

Wow now that you mention it...

She was 64 when the show started. Born in 1900!
BellsTheorem
Not just her looks, but the idea of banging a rich snob behind her husband's back.
erinaceus
all women are hot. you notice different expressions at different ages.
TurnsOut42WasASlightMiscalculation
Well, she was married. (Unlike the other two women there)
DYLANLEE79
Both can be true.
stoots24
She was the OG Throat Goat!
cosinewave
I wondered why they brought so much clothing on a 3 hour tour.
jaggcomputing5
And a set of encyclopaedias.
deletable
And trunk of cash…..
drduffer
Because the Costumers Union in Burbank was very strong in those days.
slugworth70
Why didn't they have their own yacht?
thatwoodguy
They did it just wasn't in Hawaii it was on the East Coast
wardenda
A threeeeeee hour tooooouuurrrr

Or how they could keep meeting new people (guest stars) and still not get rescued.

Gilligan was actually a highly trained CIA operative, tasked with keeping the left-leaning Professor on the island. The Howells were also to be kept there as a favour to a rival multi-millionaire that the CIA wanted to exploit. Gilligan was an expert at Dog Style Kung Fu, which teaches how to appear useless, weak and non-threatening…until they strike. This is why he was always able to take down hostile outsiders, including trained soldiers and warriors, usually in hilarious ways.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
Cannibalism. The people washed up there. They didn't show them eating them. Sometimes they made up an excuse to how they got off the island. To spare Gilligans kind heart.

The 3 hour tour was leaving from Honolulu in the late morning. They had a flight out in the evening and had already checked out of their hotel and were going to spend a few hours traveling around the Island before they went to the airport.
PostHartmann
Well done. I like this.
MikeRInternetTraveler
That works. This is my kayfabe explanation now.
HolyFreakingToast
why wouldn't they tip someone to secure their luggage at the dock? they will be returning.
deletable
Bell Service would mean they didn’t even have to take it to the dock…..
itsallaboutthecones
Wouldn't it just be head canon? I feel like kayfabe is a long term commitment to a lie that must be told repeatedly and through various forms simultaneously to support and validate the lie.
ispendtomuchtimehere
whoa dude..I hadn't thought about that.
PineappleIsDeliciousOnPizzaFightMe
She was 64 when the show debuted - born in 1900.
ToasterDent
Older than sliced bread by 28 years!
monkeyshines
And Jim Backus (who played the millionaire) was 51, but looks far older. Stay out of the sun, kids!
SnailsAgainstTungstenSpheres
Damn that's almost 100 years ago
bottledham
She'd be like almost 90 by now!
ChipWallace
Mrs Howell's nickname was Lovey, but her actual first name was Eunice.
Now you know.
kevinfromspace
..and knowing is half the battle
LudoRexAl
"Eunice Wentworth Howell", to be exact.
joematango
As I grow older, I find I'm still attracted to women my age. (Would make a terrible billionaire.) The other day I saw an Andy Griffith rerun and was surprised to find myself thinking, "That Aunt Bee's kinda hot!"
Isthe4thtimethecharm
I use to work with a couple guys. One of them would always give the other shit saying Aunt Bee was a bull dike biker. He swore that he had seen pictures of her dressed in leather at a biker bar in California. The one being teased just couldn't believe she was anything but her character.

wejustdontknow
It is interesting how our tastes change as we get older.
sabaticalbob
And she cooks!
billstranger
As a 40 year old I still default to thinking that 25 year olds are really hot until I meet a REAL 40+ year old, when i go "ohhh, i get it." Real women with great personalities and life experiences are haaaawt. Sadly most of them are married.
johnblood616
Y'know how in Fight Club they ask "Who would you fight?" My answer is prime Andy Griffith. He was in the military. He is pretty big. He also seemed to have a dark side on that show. I bet he could fuck shit up.
veedubfreak
I'd rather fight Andy Dick. Dude needs every ass kicking possible for killing Phil Hartman
johnblood616
Oh, sure. Their are multiple ways to play. Someone who ya just hate or deserves a beating like Woody Allen. Or someone that would just seem like a good fight.
veedubfreak
That Jared leto beating was cathartic
MikeRInternetTraveler
Andy totally had a “I don’t want to throw down, but I absolutely will if you make me” vibe. Which is a good vibe. That’s a good guy to have around.
mothmam
Yeah, Andy was the sheriff that refused to carry a gun. Demons run when a good man goes to war.
scrimpty
You take Andy Griffith, I'll take Don Knotts just to see the faces he pulls when he hits me or I hit him
Isthe4thtimethecharm
What would be funny is if he was the true badass on the set.
johnblood616
Lol Im for it
allfornothingg
I too never thought I'd think 50 year olds are sexy but then I got close to 40 myself and anything under 35 feels illegal
m0problems
Is that because they seem intellectually immature or you think they aren't physically attractive? I can understand the former, but not really the latter (then again, I've been single my entire life...)
allfornothingg
20 year olds are kids to me as its close to my daughters age range. Young 30 year olds simply don't do it for me. I need a good back story to rev up my engines and someone that knows how to stimulate and flirt
glovelyday
And you know for sure she was "more receptive".
stevelepastis
Because of the implication?
rolliefingers
The pearl necklace. And when was the last time anyone wore white gloves who wasn't giving or about to give a handy? Plus we got a cuck built into the situation if that's our thing. My god. How naive was I, growing up? I was so blind. All those wasted years.

The Professor knew what the real game was...

Not theirs. Just the smoke show in the pic!
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Gilligan's Island featured two single women, Ginger and Mary Ann, and there was a lot of debate between younger male fans as to who of them they'd rather date if they were trapped on the island. Lovey Howell was the third woman in the show. The actress (Natalie Schafer) was 63 in the first season and her character was married, so aforementioned younger male fans may not have factored her into the hypothetical dating equation.

Thank you, i missed comprehension on the post.

MantisTobagganMD
The objectively correct answer is a Mary Ann.

DeadeicPrints
Reading it back again after this comment, huh that was kinda obvious. I dont get why the wording was confusing 1st go around.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Probably because there was zero context like the name of the TV show or why she would have been the third alternative.
DeadeicPrints
Fair. I did know what show it meant, tho I was a child when my family watched it. I forgot about the other 2 ladies tho.
