Two on a Raft

Two On A Raft is the first episode of the First Season of "Gilligan's Island." It is the second pilot episode of the series.

Synopsis
Following a violent storm, the crew and passengers of the S.S. Minnow wake up to find that they have washed ashore on an uncharted island. The captain, Jonas Grumby (commonly known as "Skipper") and his first mate Gilligan set sail on a raft to try and return to land, while the passengers stay on the island. However, a storm blows the crew back to the island, but Skipper and Gilligan do not know that this island is the same the island on which they first landed. The passengers, meanwhile, do not know that the "crew" have returned. When both groups become aware that the other group is on the island, each group assume that the other are headhunters. In the end, everyone gets trapped in a cave, and Gilligan emerges dressed as a native scaring passengers and the rest of the crew away.

Trivia

 * In the opening credits, the S.S. Minnow shown before the cruise is different from the version beaching on the island after the storm. There is no upper deck above the windows where the helm is, and the front of the cabin is straight rather than pointed.
 * According to rumor, when the Skipper wakes up on the SS Minnow, a car can be seen in the far right background. Although there is a photo of this car from the set, no such car actually appears on screen.
 * When the Skipper wakes up, the original actors from the pilot can be seen still sleeping on the Minnow.
 * In the scenes where the castaways are listening to the radio, the Professor is sitting with the others in the far shots but standing in the close-ups.
 * When the Skipper and Gilligan finish fighting off the sharks, the Skipper's hat falls off his head and into the water right in the path of one of the sharks, and yet, in the next shot, the hat is back on the Skipper's head.
 * When Ginger comes out of the collapsed cave, she is wearing her iconic gold and silver evening dress, claiming its her only dress. However, during the series, she would have numerous dresses and outfits.
