GILLIGAN'S ISLAND on CBS (1964-1967). The TV comedy ran for only three TV seasons. The first season was filmed in Black and White. The second and third were filmed in Color. That first TV season grabbed 24.7 million TV viewers overall and was ranked at #18. The next year it dropped to #22 and then finally at #49.
The show ran in TV syndication during the 1970's and 1980s. That is where it became a cultural phenomenon and made each cast member enduring TV stars.
The argument over who was the "Sexiest" woman on the show had lasted for decades. Is it May-Ann (Dawn Wells) or Ginger (Tina Louise)?
Lately, Mrs. Howell (Natalie Schafer) has been chosen as a sexy contender. I liked them all.
Dawn Wells was 82-years-old when she died from complications of COVID-19. She will forever be Mary-Ann from Kansas who always baked pies. RIP....
Below is a scene from a favorite episode featuring the "Honeybees." Mary-Ann is on the far left.
