Synopsis

The castaways lack of Vitamin C in their diet is causing them to grow weaker-first the skipper, then Mr Howell, then the Professor, then Gilligan followed by Mrs Howell; Ginger and Mary Ann. Their only hope is orange seeds..guarded by Gilligan....are the castaways doomed?

Trivia

  • Mary Ann remarks that farmer solution for growing is 1 part sunshine, 2 parts water and 3 parts prayer; the Professor while reading his facts book on how to grow fruit is astonshed to read that if that doesn't work to rely on 1 part sunshine, 2 parts water and 3 parts prayer!
  • At the end after the Professor finds more citrus fruit in the jungle and the Skipper remarks on how he'd like a steak, Gilligan remarks where he can find it in Hawaii! This is too much, the professor takes off Gilligan's hat and the Skipper bonks Gilligan with his cap!
  • Another silly unreal episode, the Professor says they have about a week to live, while orange trees need at least a year to grow.
  • Syndicated versions of the episode omit the last scene where Gilligan has a lemonade stand and marks down the price of his drinks to free.
  • Bob Denver's six-year-old son Patrick plays little Jack in scenes with Alan Hale as the Giant.

Quotes

  • Giant's Housekeeper/Mary Ann - "Oh, you're not a prince!"
    Old Man/Professor - "No, I'm not... but it will teach not to believe everything you hear, girlie!"
