It may be a general knowledge among TV historians that Sherwood Schwartz's 1964 "Island Giligan" was not loved by critics when he debuted, but that was a big hit with the audience. Critics said the play was soft, unrealistic and non -essential, and Schwartz probably agreed. Indeed, its non -essential language may be the main reason for its success. Over the years, the seven main members of the Island Giligan cast all cited the heavyweight tone of the show as a necessary relief for the audience, which were flooded with turbulent news for the outside world. It certainly did not help that "Giligan Island" was also very friendly for children, there were no serious conflicts, no sex, no violence and adult topics.

In 2025, the island of Giligan was not accepted only as popular, but became something of a cultural institution. His paintings, music and characters are archetypical almost to the point to become Jungian. Illilligan (Bob Denver) and his resident are the version of this nation of Commedia dell'arte. Some have said they are Contemporary repetitions of the seven deadly sins. Even in the 1960s, the cast knew the show was popular, but they just took a long time to find out How It was popular.

In the case of Alan Hale, Runior, who played the Jogi/Countryman's "Island Giligan" skipper, a meeting with a soldier abroad to connect how many people were watching him. In an interview in 1979 with "Boxy Sun" (As prescribed by MetV), Hale told a story of how he visited Beirut, Lebanon and how the armed youth recognized him as he moved away from his plane. If a soldier in Beirut knew who he was, then his image, Hale, understood, reached a lot all over the world.

Hale, after the end of the Island Giligan in 1967, began to live many fans around the world. The play has also entered a state of seemingly constant union, repeated daily for decades. Hale, as such, was a huge celebrity. The journey was something that got used to the highlight, as he was Coast Guard Officer During World War II, but he had to get used to living in a world where his person was on TV somewhere in the world at almost every given moment. He just knew how well known for the next exchange:

"In Beirut, I was trying to get off a plane, and a young soldier with a machine gun looked at me. He put the gun on the staircase, and he looked up up and broke into a big smile and said" Capper, please don't come to shore. "

Hale also said he was half a world from Beirut and was still recognized by locals. "Giligan Island" was on TV both in Lebanon and Thailand. As Hale recalls:

"I went to Thailand. And I was at the airport and heard" Hey, a skip! "I turned around and had a young Thai boy with a bunch of little girls, all waved and said," Hi, skip! " I am thrilled to know that I will never be alone in the world, and the pleasure that shows people's faces is a very satisfying thing. "

Hale, should be noted, wanted to play on a skipper. The heat from the fans never bothered him, and he was, according to all accounts, friendly during all meetings with fans. There were moments of how to meet a soldier in Lebanon or a group of children in Thailand who only cemented his ness.
