Original Gilligans Island pilot(unaired)

I always thought it quite funny that many years later The Professor was implied to be Carol Brady's first husband who was thought to be lost at sea with a millionaire's son named Gilligan (as revealed in the Very Brady Sequel movie). But this overlooked the fact the Professor's name was Roy Hinckley and Carol Brady's prior last name was Martin (but I suppose that could have been her maiden name). And even funnier was Jeannie (I Dream of Jeannie) showing up to reveal that she was Mike Brady's first wife! Crisis on Infinite Sitcoms!

Well, While we're at it check out the Munsters Pilot.
Only about 5 minutes of surviving footage. I think Ole Herman prefered Phoebe. JMHO from the opening intro

Interesting,
Phoebe Munster was played by Joan Marshall.
Also known as Prosecutor Areel Shaw on the classic Star Trek episode Court Martial .

Mike, I think the Gilligan pilot may have been aried on E network once. I recall seeing it in it's entirety as compared to the show that really aired because Sherwood Scwartz said the network wouldn't let him edit it himself. After bad testing he got the chance to re-edit it his way and it tested better.

WoW! That Munsters pilot was shot in color! You can see Joan Marshall thru that make-up. She was really gorgeous!
