Bob Denver once explained the reason not to wear humor on the island of Gilijan

“Gilijan Island” is incredibly important in the year of TV history and one of the most stupid things it sees ever. It was very popular in three seasons from 1964 to 1967, as it was huge cash for CBS and the seventieth actor. After that, “Gilijan Island” obtained the plum participation agreement, allowing it to remain literally restarting generations, and informed the culture in a widespread way – some may say malicious costumes. The creator Sherwood Schwartz attached some of the heavy ideas to “Gilijan Island”, noting this (right and just) that It is an ideal model for American democracy It works at the height of efficiency. Seven people, all of them of different seasons and walking in life, are forced to stay together, Willo, and, are able to flourish in comfort and peace.

But these ideas settle comfortably in the background of the banking series that deny cheap jokes and unrealistic descriptions. There is no real drama on “Gilijan Island”, nor any actual threat to the life of the main characters. There is no permanent conflict, behind the scenes in which the leader of the leader (Alan Hill) is floundering Giligan (Bob Denver) with his hat. “Gilligan Island” is a wide and shallow farce that young children can enjoy, very friendly, varied, and simple to excite great feelings.

But then, this is depending on the design. Schwartz and members of the seven team were well known the type of offer they were presenting. Members of the acting team theoretical in the past The popularity of “Gilijan Island” stems from its ability to provide an escape without minds from a turbulent world.

In an interview with Kansas City star (It is copied by MetvDenver described the humor on “Gilijan Island” as “low down”, but as a courtesy device. In fact, he felt that the humor on “Gilijan Island” was immortal of the immortal, similar to the silent comedian actresses 45 years ago.

Denver has a point. The actor had a talent in playing a certain type of fool, but he was a committed performer known for his comedy history. He realized that among all kinds of humor, ages between the ages of hardness, because they are usually unknown to political knowledge or historical context. It does not necessarily stimulate the low brain, but it will always be funny to watch someone running on the wall. Denver also put it:

“It is a type of Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, a fun that can last for a long time. (…) I think about a 5 -year extension with the offer. This type of scream is not worn.”

This interview was conducted when “Gilijan Island” was still on the air, so Denver did not know after only three seasons lasted. This is likely to last longer if there is no Kerfuffle in CBS on “Gunsmoke”.

The ordinary director “Gilijan Island” Jack Arnold (also the prominent Monster film manager in the fifties as well as Early Caling EastoHe pointed out that the members of the “Gilijan Island” team were always 100 % professional and were 100 % committed to their roles. It seems that everyone knows that this series was a lightweight idiot, and they understood that the party requires sincerity and perseverance. Few might describe Bob Denver or Alan Hill as great actors, but Jack Arnold wanted to change this bias. He said:

“The audience does not realize how much these two boys are as actors. Like the wonderful people who respond to the knight, they give me everything they can. This type of enthusiasm, in addition to the fact that I turned each joke to a dialogue into a vision joke, is responsible, in my opinion, for the success of the offer.”

Arnold was not modest, but then, he didn’t need to be. It is likely that his work, along with actors, is likely to make the series sing. Is “Gilijan Island” stupid? Yes. Is it a basic American text that will often advance? Also yes.
