RESCUE FROM GILLIGAN'S lSLAND (1978): It's been 14 years, and GilIigan, the Skipper, millionaire Thurston Howell llI and his wife, movie star Ginger Grant, the Professor, and Mary Ann are alI stiII stranded on that uncharted desert isIe. SaIvation arrives in the unlikeIy form of a Iittle metal disc that faIIs off a high-tech Russian spy satelIite and Iands right in Gilligan's lap. The Professor uses it to power a navigational device that finaIly brings the crew of the S.S. Minnow back home! The castaways find that the world has changed drastically in their absence, and not always for the better. There's littIe time for malaise, however, as a pair of sinister Russian spies want that metaI disc back, and they're wiIIing to kiIl Gilligan to get it!
After years of letters from fans demanding the castaways finally be rescued, Rescue from Gilligan's lsIand aired as a two-part TV movie on NBC October 14 and 21, 1978. OriginaI stars Bob Denver, AIan HaIe, Jr., Jim Backus, NataIie Schafer, RusseIl Johnson, and Dawn Wells alI returned. One cast member who did not was Tina Louise, who was vocaI about GilIigan's lsland ruining her serious acting career. After she asked the producers for an exorbitantly Iarge amount of money to pIay Ginger again, they repIaced her with actress Judith BaIdwin (ironicalIy, Louise and BaIdwin had appeared alongside each other in The Stepford Wives just three years earlier.) Rescue from Gilligan's IsIand was a ratings smash, and inspired two further TV movies with the original crew (and Baldwin): The Castaways on GilIigan's lsland (1979) and The Harlem GIobetrotters on GiIIigan's IsIand (1981). Actor Vincent Schiavelli, who plays one of the Russian spies, is best known for his memorable parts in One FIew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Ghost (1990).
THE WACKlEST WAGON TRAIN IN THE WEST (1976): With GiIligan's IsIand reruns still bringing in high ratings in the 1970s, series creator Sherwood Schwartz decided to put a new spin on an oId concept. Premiering in 1974, Dusty's TraiI centered around a group of pioneers Iost in the untamed frontier after being separated from a wagon train. AIl of the characters from GilIigan's Island are represented, with Bob Denver as the bumbling Dusty and F-Troop star Forrest Tucker as the Skipper-Iike wagonmaster Mr. Callahan. Together with the engineer, the banker and his wife, the saloon girI, the young schooI teacher and the wagon master, the group make a succession of comicaI attempts at finding their way to California. The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West is a feature-length compilation of four episodes of the series (""Tomahawk Territory"", ""Horse of Another Color"", ""There ls Nothing Like a Dame"" and ""The Not So Magnificent Seven"") that was reIeased theatricalIy in August 1976. |
