It's strange that I picked this one up, as I'm not the biggest fan of the show, but it's well-worth the listen. Mr. Johnson speaks well of his co-stars and I ended with a true appreciation for all of them and for the show. Gilligan's Island was on every day in reruns when I was a kid, and I got rather tired of the show after a while, but found this book highly enjoyable.

I enjoyed the knowledge that was shared by the Professor. I could have done without all the cursing in the book. It was a distraction and took away from a great story. If the cursing was removed, I would give it 5 stars all the way.

As I write this Russell Johnson passed away from natural causes in the past week at age 89....RIP Professor...

I was a huge fan of Gilligan's Island after it went into syndication and was shown weekdays in the late afternoon after I arrived home from school. While I have viewed the specials and made-for-TV films made after the series, the Professor's memoirs and commentary really resonated with me.

If you are even a mild fan of the show, get this title. If you are/were a rabid fan...this is a must listen. Finally, for all you guys out there like me who were Gilligan fanatics as kids, I only have one question for you: Ginger or Mary Ann? :) :)
