Birds Gotta Fly, Fish Gotta Talk

Trivia

 * This episode used extensive footage from the unaired pilot, Marooned (Unaired Pilot) with shots featuring the Professor, Bunny, and the original Ginger re-filmed with Russell Johnson, Tina Louise and Dawn Wells. The original cast members can still be seen in the background when Gilligan and the Skipper wake up on The Minnow.
 * Once again Gilligan fouls up a rescue when he accidently hooks the transmitter into the sea; and then when it is found again-he dumbly drops a load of firewood on it!
