<p>My dad and I used to watch Gilligan’s Island every night on TVLand. So sad. </p>

<p>I didnt know he lived on Bainbridge island.
I think Cliff Clavin ( John Ratzenberger) lives on the Kitsap peninsula.
Mr Johnson had an interesting life.

<p>He was the only “normal” person on the island.</p>

<p>On the Today Show they did a bit of old TV trivia. The Professor’s real name (on the show, that is) was Dr. Roy Hinkley. Don’t think I remembered (or even knew) that.</p>

<p>And the Skipper’s character name was Jonas Grumby.</p>

<p>^^Mary Ann was pretty normal.</p>
