The Real Lagoon
So about the ever so famous lagoon! It was specifically built for Gilligan’s Island on land that was in CBS’s Studio City back in 1964. The crew had originally imagined filming twice in Malibu. Because of some fog, there was often downtime. Oh and during winter, the temperature of the water went as low as 40 degrees. Cold! That’s why there was a need for Bob Denver to wear a wetsuit under his costume for Gilligan’s Island. In the summer, water in the lagoon became stagnant as well as very smelly. In 1995, years later, CBS turned the lagoon into a parking lot for employees and therefore, had to drain the lagoon’s water.

Well, That’s Rude
We mentioned this in brief earlier. In the original theme song or during the opening of Gilligan’s Island, both Mary Ann and the Professor were called ‘the rest’. Fortunately, it was changed in the following seasons. Thus, in both the second and third seasons, the show’s theme song got updated and the two had names and weren’t just ‘the rest’.
