Skipper Jonas Grumby, Ginger Grant, Thurston Howell III, Lovey Wentworth Howell, Professor Roy Hinkley and Mary Ann Summers.

only Gilligan didn't have a full name mentioned anytime during the aired series. :eek:

Willie Gilligan. Well, sort of depending on which conflicting story you want to believe.

But it was mentioned in the original treatment Sherwood Schwartz created when pitching the series. It was never aired, that's why I said "well, sort of..."

Had no idea that the Skipper and Professor had names. As a kid I watched, probably, every episode multiple times. I suppose that detail may not have seemed important to me.

Also, if you remember at the beginning as the boat leaves the harbor, you can see a flag flying at half mast in the background. The pilot was shot during the week that JFK was assassinated, and shooting was delayed several days while the nation dealt with the event.

I'm confused.
Delayed for the tragedy of the assassination or the tragedy of the pilot?
Just kidding.
While the show itself was pretty silly, the cast was great.
