Now, here’s where the bloopers comes in: The Professor, who famously claimed to be allergic to alcohol in the episode ”Nyet, Nyet, Not Yet,” drinks the fermented juice along with the others.
And if you look closely during this scene, you’ll catch another little goof — Mrs. Howell, played by the charming Natalie Schafer, briefly opens her eyes while pretending to be passed out. It’s a small slip, but a fun one to spot!
Woodpeckers on oceanic islands
In the very first episode of Gilligan’s Island, Gilligan and the Skipper build a raft and set out to sea in hopes of finding help. But did you know this scene was actually filmed in a movie tank—essentially a giant swimming pool?
If you pay close attention during the shark attack scene, you can spot the rim of the tank peeking into some shots. And when Gilligan gets his oar bitten by the shark, and the Skipper tells him to keep paddling, you might notice the shadow of the boom mic on the raft in the lower left corner of the screen.
