Gilligan's Island - The Complete Second Season (DVD, 2005)

A must have for all Gilligan Island Fan's..... Forget about a three-hour tour--Gilligan's Island fans can sit right back and enjoy all 32 episodes of the much-loved television comedy and even a few extras with this three-disc set. GI aficionados will probably argue which episode deserves to be called the best in the series' three-year history until the end of time, but few will disagree that its sophomore season (1965-66) contains some of its funniest and best-remembered episodes. For starters, season 2 marks the show's debut in color, as well as the first time the Professor (Russell Johnson) and Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) were mentioned in the opening theme song (all of this occurs in the season opener, "Gilligan's Mother-in-Law"). But it also includes such classic episodes as "Hi Fi Gilligan" (Gilligan picks up radio signals in his mouth), "Don't Bug the Mosquitos" (faux Brit rockers land on the island), "Mine Hero" (a WWII mine washes up on the beach), "Meet The Meteor" (space debris makes the castaways age prematurely), and "The Friendly Physician" (a mad scientist's experiments cause the castaways to swap bodies), all of which have lost none of their laughs or pure entertainment value. The supplemental features, though slight, include an introduction by Johnson and series creator Sherwood Schwartz, as well as commentary by Schwartz on his favorite episode, "The Little Dictator."

PRODUCT HAD REASONABLE PRICE, WORKED AS ADVERTISED, AND WAS SHIPPED IN TIMELY MANNER.
THIS SELLER SHOULD BE THE STANDARD.
THANK YOU ROD137.

You just can't go wrong with this set. First color season, great sound, and it has all of my favorites. 32 episodes total on this season and I love them all. This is by far my favorite season.
Only con is that the dvd's are double sided making them easy to scratch.

Great customer service!!! The DVD collection was sent right away and received in great condition!! Would continue to do business with this seller!!

In today's world of incredible technology & super-fast paced lives, it's so refreshing that my 17 & 14 year-old kids - who are well-connectd to technology - really enjoy watching Gilligan's Island. The themes & plots are so silly, they're truly hilarious. I think the series still offers quality viewing while giving my kids (as well as my wife & I) simple, "no-thinking-required" down time.

Purchasing a new DVD like this is the perfect example for buying on Ebay. I got it at half the price I would have paid in a store. I grew up watching Gilligan's Island and now my childeren can enjoy them any time. There are so many great, funny episodes. I highly recommend this as the perfect family DVD.

My son loves this show after renting it on Netflix, and we found Season 1 and Season 3 at Target which he watches constantly. But they never stocked Season 2. Couldn't find it anywhere until I looked on Ebay and bought it for him for Christmas.

I know he'll love it because he's already seen it. It's a great show for kids (of all ages) - entertaining, educational, and inspiring. My kids learn a lot about how to get along with others, how all people in a "team" are important, how to "make lemons out of lemonade", and how to save themselves from cannibals (ha). Seriously though, this is good, clean fun and much better than most of the shows kids watch on current TV. And the color on this season is fantastic.

Good, clean entertainment. Takes me back to the good 'ole days when times were simpler. Just sit back and take a tropical trip.

Very happy, and great product as promised. Fast shipping as promised, no problems, would order again and again. VERY HAPPY. THANKS

Oh, what memories! If there is such a thing as quality family time in front of the television, this is it! I, as well as my 6 year old love it! Great quality and great price!

Well, we purchased these dvd's for my son's birthday on Aug 30. I ordered them on Aug 16th. It is now Sep 4, and we have not received them yet. Needless to say, my son did not get them for his birthday. I thought that 2 weeks would be enough time.

some episodes are better than others on this pack; all i can say for now on this all too familiar show--generally speakin--sorry not much info for now or to "get into to".

The packaging of this very popular TV series is very good, however a small booklet containing show extras would have been a great finishing touch. The extras on the DVD do kind of make up for that short coming. This is one of the rare shows that can be watched over and over again without tiring of the stories. Somewhat like The Andy Griffith Show and others. It was a time in TV history that reflected innocence, morality, simple stories and good clean comedy.
I remember as a child a few everyday life lessons were learned and reinforced by these shows. No, they didn't take the place of parents, schools or churches. But they did help to mold and shape young minds even if that wasn't the main intent.I wish more shows today held true to that spirit.
I mainly bought the set for my grandchildren. We can watch together and hopefully some simpler times can rub off.
It's to bad that most of the actors and actresses got typecast because of this show. Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells could have handled more than bit parts after the series ended.
Season Two is in color so that helps to show new details about our beloved characters. Like Ginger's flaming red hair and Gilligan's famous attire.
Maybe, next time the marketers could included a Gilligan hat in a special footlocker package along with all three seasons plus a special extra disc.

Watched as a child. Wholesome, good, clean entertainment. The whole family can watch.A t.v. show you are sure to enjoy.

Great fun for this generation of kids, plus episodes are <25 minutes, so you can tailor viewing sessions as you like. Our kids (7 & 10) loved the first season even though it's in black and white, and they begged for more. However, beware of stereotypes, because political correctness as we know it did not exist in the sixties.

Great item. My kids loved it! I remember when this was b/w.NNice color now. Higly recommended if u like the oldies.

Can't wait to watch the shows, loved the series and looking forward to returning to the island and seeing all the classic characters!

My family is really enjoying watching these shows. They are better than I remember. I was a young person when I first saw these and they are just as funny as an adult. These are a nice break from tv today.

You could write a book on why Gilligans Island is such a success, however I'm not much for book writing so I will sum it all up in saying one thing, " Great Family Entertainment "

item showed up quick and at a great price, I thought it was handled quickly and it is what I was looking for , I liked the buy it now price , it was the first time I had purchased a buy it now item

What todays television shows cant do these days is entertain you . Bring back the laughter with these episodes and you will not ever look at todays dreary shows the same ever again . Truly funny over & over again :)

I have been waiting to see Gilligans Island for years and it just doesn't ever come on tv anymore. I like haveing the whole season and better yet no comercials. I bought it because it was a heck of a deal!!

I am so thankful that I was able to get this item at a reasonable price. This is the last season that I am looking for for the complete set. I am going to give this as a gift for Christmas. I just love eBay!

This was a good price on Gilligan's island . It was swnt out in a very timely fashion. I recieved it as described.
