On, Gilligan's Island, do they ever get off the Island?????

Question

I always wondered this but never got to see every episode of the show to see if they finally do get off.

Answer 1

The last aired episode during the regular series ended with them still not getting off. But they showed a special (like an hour or 2 long) of them getting off the island and getting back to their normal lives but having a hard time adjusting and missing everyone from the island.

Answer 2

The last episode of the show ended just like the rest: with the castaways never succeeding in leaving the island; however,
in a successful 1978 made-for-TV movie, "Rescue From Gilligan's Island", the castaways did successfully leave the island, but had difficulty reintegrating into society. During a reunion cruise at the first Christmas after their rescue, fate intervened and the group found themselves marooned on the exact same island. In a 1979 sequel, "The Castaways on Gilligan's Island", they were rescued once again, and the Howells converted the island into a getaway resort, with the other five castaways as "silent partners". This sequel was intended as a pilot for a possible new series in which the castaways would host new groups of tourists each week, using the all-star cast anthology format made popular by The Love Boat. The series never materialized, though the premise was the basis of a short-lived 1981 series titled Aloha Paradise.
In a second sequel, "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island "(1981), some villains (played by Martin Landau and then-wife Barbara Bain, who also appeared together on Mission: Impossible and Space: 1999) try to take over the island to gain access to a valuable but unknown substance. They are thwarted by the timely intervention of the Harlem Globetrotters.

Answer 3

In a successful 1978 made-for-TV movie, Rescue From Gilligan's Island, the castaways did successfully leave the island, but had difficulty reintegrating into society. During a reunion cruise at the first Christmas after their rescue, fate intervened and the group found themselves marooned on the exact same island. It starred the original cast except for Tina Louise, who refused to participate and was replaced as Ginger by Judith Baldwin (who seemed much too young for the role, compared to the other actors). The plot of the movie involved Soviet agents seeking a memory disc from a spy satellite that landed on the island and facilitated their rescue.

Answer 4

I think they finally did get off the island. But I never watched the episode.

Answer 5

They did another show where they got off of the island. It didn't happen during the regular season run.

Answer 6

Yes they did but end up going back to run a hotel

Answer 7

That would kind of defeat the purpose of the show, wouldn't it?

Answer 8

Yes, they do... and they have a huge parade!
