Almost two months ago
we first informed you that
Gilligan's Island was heading to DVD. Now Warner has announced the full details for this long-awaited release.
After a three-hour pleasure tour, the
S.S. Minnow was washed ashore on an uncharted South Pacific island, leaving behind what would become TV's most famous castaways. Now join Gilligan, the Skipper too, and the rest for a 3 DVD tour of
The Complete First Season. 916 minutes of black-and-white hilarity will be found over by the lagoon, and that's not all! The rare Pilot Episode is here, complete with commentary by creator Sherwood Schwartz. Tropical Tidbits trivia, the
Gilligan's Island Survival Guide, and a "Before The Three-Hour Tour" featurette round out the supplements.
As you can see from the shot of the cover art below (which Warner tells us is not necessarily final, and subject to change), the list price is $39.98. The boat leaves the dock on this set on February 3, 2004.
Our thanks to Michael Aegerter for his major contributions to this article.
