This two episode set contains the first episode of Gilligan's Island the first episode is titled Two on a Raft and involves the castaways trying to get of the island. The Professor tells the Skipper and Gilligan to watch out for headhunters on nearby islands. The bumbling crew set out, but a shark attack and a sudden storm cause them to land on an island(the same one they left)! remembering what the Professor told them, the Skipper and Gilligan think the other castaways are headhunters, and vice versa. The second episode involves the castaways trying to build a hut on the island. They do, but they all get on each others nerves so they decide to build individual huts however a set of minor disasters(Gilligan), causes the destruction of the huts. the castaways all have to try to build one major hut before a hurricane hits. END

I bought this video because I remembered how much I enjoyed watching Gilligan as a kid and wanted my kids to see it too. My five year old thinks Gilligan is just hilarious! We laughed and laughed. I don't mind that it is colorized. The part where Gilligan and Skipper are out on the raft and the sharks eat the raft was great.

Excellent episodes, but they've been colorized. I was so surprised to see these episodes in color (I didn't even have a color TV when I saw these the first time). It was quite disconcerting to see these episodes in color. Also, they seem to have been edited: the skipper doesn't ever hit Gilligan with his hat (or maybe he started doing that in later episodes?)....

I would have given it 5 stars if it had been in B&W (original format).
