Forget about a three-hour tour--Gilligan's Island fans can sit right back and enjoy all 32 episodes of the much-loved television comedy and even a few extras with this three-disc set. GI aficionados will probably argue which episode deserves to be called the best in the series' three-year history until the end of time, but few will disagree that its sophomore season (1965-66) contains some of its funniest and best-remembered episodes. For starters, season 2 marks the show's debut in color, as well as the first time the Professor (Russell Johnson) and Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) were mentioned in the opening theme song (all of this occurs in the season opener, "Gilligan's Mother-in-Law"). But it also includes such classic episodes as "Hi Fi Gilligan" (Gilligan picks up radio signals in his mouth), "Don't Bug the Mosquitos" (faux Brit rockers land on the island), "Mine Hero" (a WWII mine washes up on the beach), "Meet The Meteor" (space debris makes the castaways age prematurely), and "The Friendly Physician" (a mad scientist's experiments cause the castaways to swap bodies), all of which have lost none of their laughs or pure entertainment value. The supplemental features, though slight, include an introduction by Johnson and series creator Sherwood Schwartz, as well as commentary by Schwartz on his favorite episode, "The Little Dictator." --Paul Gaita

The hilarious castaways and the loveable goofball Gilligan are back. Season two of Gilligan's Island switches from black & white to color. The three hour tour continues with all 32 second season episodes and a few bonus features. The bonus features include a season introduction by the Professor and the shows creator Sherwood Schwartz. There is also a commentary on episode #3 "The Little Dictator" by Sherwood Schwartz. So once again there are no cast interviews or bloopers or featurettes from the shows stars and that's a major disappointment.
The video transfer is really great; the sound is clean and crisp and it sounds great on my home theater system. The colors are absolutely sharp and vibrant. Somehow the studio crammed season two onto 3 double sided discs and the picture is still outstanding. These episodes in my opinion never looked this good when I watched the show on television. A show without sex, violence or swearing how can it possibly be entertaining? Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale..........just enjoy it!
