Now Sit right back and you’ll hear a tale

Written by Lloyd Schwartz


A routine rescue sends the Baywatch crew on a madcap adventure back to “Gilligan’s Island.”
The Baywatch staff is glued to the headquarters TV, where their favorite Gilligan’s Island characters are making hay in syndication. When Mitch finds his entire staff in the lounge, he scolds them and sends them out to their respective assignments.
When an amorous couple go a little too far in front of Eddie’s tower, he trots down the ramp to break them up. Suddenly, he slips on some sand and hits his head on the tower ramp. He seems all right, but after he and Shauni take the Scarab out to help a stranded jetskiier, everything goes a little crazy.
Their boat won’t start, and they have to spend the night on Anacapa Island waiting for help. When Eddie spots a man wearing a red shirt and sailor’s cap, he chases after him, and they both fall off a cliff, saved only by a handy vine. To Eddie’s surprise, it’s Gilligan (Bob Denver). It turns out that he and Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) are both stuck on the island. The Professor crafted a boat big enough for two, and Gilligan and Mary Ann sailed toward the mainland to
Find help, but ended up shipwrecked again on Anacapa.
The next day, Eddie repairs the Scarab, and he and Shauni return to headquarters with Gilligan and Mary Ann. Things are even crazier there. Captain Thorpe has won the lottery, and in the spirit of capitalism decides to do a TV movie about Gilligan and Mary Ann. To keep the ending upbeat, he buys A yacht, Tha i ot and resour wei lagans Satnd castie coliy after they embark, a huge storm breaks and The Minnow Il is shipwrecked on a deserted island. While the group makes preparations to settle in for a while,
Eddie falls in love with Mary Ann. Incensed, Shauni makes a successful play for Gilligan. The two couples make hasty wedding plans and seek out Garner to perform the ceremony. Before Garner can administer the rites, however, Eddie gets clipped by a coconut and awakes to find himself at Baywatch
headquarters. But was it al a dream?
