Requests For Rescue
Here is a funny story. It may seem ridiculous and strange when the Coast Guard received some letters from people asking them to rescue the castaways that were trapped on the island. This happened when the show started airing. When Schwartz was interviewed for the Archive of American Television, he said that those viewers were delusional. “Now who did they think was laughing at what was happening to these people? Where did they think the music came from, and the commercials?” he said.

The lagoons may seem familiar to fans not just because they have seen it in the reruns of the show’s episodes. You probably have seen the location in the classic Monster film, The Creature From the Black Lagoon. That’s right, that lagoon is also the one that you see in some episodes of Gilligan’s Island.
