Acerca de esta escucha
While every new TV series has to face some problems, no show had to overcome greater obstacles than Gilligan's Island. In spite of that, no series has achieved greater success, as measured by the fact that Gilligan's Island has given rise to three TV movies, two animated series, and is the most rerun program in the entire history of television.
Now, Sherwood Schwartz, creator, writer, and producer of Gilligan's Island, tells the life story of the show: from the labor pains of scripting, casting, and production to its golden years of afternoon reruns. Fascinating history that could be known only by the show's creator is enhanced by wonderful photos, sketches, and other illustrations from the author's personal collection, as well as the guest forewords by all seven "Castaways." An appendix lists plots, writers and directors for every episode. All this behind-the-scenes information makes the book a special treat, not only for fans, but for anyone interested in an inside look at the television industry.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Historia
You can’t truly understand the last decade of the 20th century without a look at the muddy, electrifying rock music that would come to define it: grunge. For such a short-lived genre—at least in the mainstream—grunge had a lasting impact on American music and culture. It also provides a unique lens through which to examine the post-Reagan, pre-internet America of the 1990s. In the six lectures of The Story of Grunge, you’ll explore the rise and evolution of the genre, tracing it from Seattle subculture to MTV and the Billboard charts, all the way to its decline and evolution into new forms.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

The resurgence of viral clips from the long-running hit reality television show America’s Next Top Model left fans and foes alike wondering–how did a show so outrageous and at times offensive ever get on the air? For years, Americans dutifully watched as contestants faced uncomfortable situations regarding their race and gender, body-shaming, stereotyping, and problematic photoshoots. The show, which first premiered in 2003 and ran for 24 cycles, was helmed by supermodel Tyra Banks–the first Black female host of a smash network reality show.

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Historia
The New York Times best-selling biography of an American comedy legend. After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

Historia
This is the first book-length, critical analysis of Lieutenant General James Longstreet's actions at the Battle of Gettysburg. The author argues that Longstreet's record has been discredited unfairly, beginning with character assassination by his contemporaries after the war and, persistently, by historians in the decades since. By closely studying the three-day battle, and conducting an incisive historiographical inquiry into Longstreet's treatment by scholars, this book presents an alternative view of Longstreet as an effective military leader.

In 2002, Bill Zehme landed one of the most coveted assignments for a magazine writer: an interview with Johnny Carson—the only one he’d granted since retiring from hosting The Tonight Show a decade earlier. Zehme was tapped for the Esquire feature story thanks to his years of legendary celebrity profiles, and the resulting piece portrayed Carson as more human being than showbiz legend. Shortly after Carson’s death in 2005 and urged on by many of those closest to Carson, Zehme signed a contract to do an expansive biography.

Wildflower is a portrait of Drew's life in stories as she looks back on the adventures, challenges, and incredible experiences of her earlier years. It includes tales of living on her own at 14 (and how laundry may have saved her life), getting stuck in a gas station overhang on a cross-country road trip, saying good-bye to her father in a way only he could have understood, and many more adventures and lessons that have led her to the successful, happy, and healthy place she is today.

Historia
Over the fifty years that Lorne Michaels has been at the helm of Saturday Night Live, he has become a revered and inimitable presence in the entertainment world. He’s a tastemaker, a mogul, a withholding father figure, a genius spotter of talent, a shrewd businessman, a name-dropper, a raconteur, the inspiration for Dr. Evil, the winner of more than a hundred Emmys—and, essentially, a mystery. Generations of writers and performers have spent their lives trying to figure him out, by turns demonizing and lionizing him.

Historia
Matt Rife is well aware that he’s both the most loved and the most controversial comic in America today. And honestly, he thinks that’s your problem. Matt reveals (without apology, of course) what led him to becoming comedy’s biggest lightning rod before he reached thirty, in a story full of bold and hysterical takes on everything from Justin Bieber tramp stamps and rap battles with ex-cons to Matt’s struggles with depression and his many brushes with failure before finally hitting it big.

Historia
On the evening of July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival, backed by an electric band, and roared into his new rock hit, "Like a Rolling Stone". The audience of committed folk purists and political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet reacted with a mix of shock, booing, and scattered cheers. It was the shot heard round the world - Dylan's declaration of musical independence, the end of the folk revival, and the birth of rock as the voice of a generation - and one of the defining moments in 20th-century music.

Inside Gilligans Island
I never realized how much it took to get a TV show on the air. But I'm so glad he persevered with Gilligans Island. This used to be one of my all-time favorite shows when I was a kid and as an adult today, it is still one of my favorites. You couldn't help but laugh at all of the antics
Gillian got into. And in today's world, we definitely need more TV shows like this. I'm probably showing my age, but less sex and more wholesome, family comedies is what we need.

Too many F words
It would been a great book if I could’ve just removed a few words that made no difference in the story.

Fascinating!
Great to hear the back story to one of my favorite childhood shows. Illuminating to hear how TV executives sabotage shows that don’t personally like. GI could have gone for a few more years.

Half good
The first half of the book is interesting and about how Gillian’s Island the whole second half was just space filler

25th chapter
Background noises and bodily functions kept me losing attention.
The story, however, was solid, and well written.
There were many things I did not know, especially behind the scenes.

The complete Gilligan's Island story
Sherwood Schwartz told us many entertaining tales during "Gilligan's Island" run on network television, but the stories behind the scenes are quite remarkable. "Inside Gilligan's Island" documents what really goes on in Hollywood, as he describes the many obstacles he would overcome to land the show on CBS's fall schedule in 1964. The network initially rejected "Gilligan," the executives didn't understand the characters, but thanks to Schwartz, the S. S. Minnow would finally set sail.
One idea pitched to rework the show was to call it "Gilligan's Travels," as passengers would sail the S. S. Minnow, but return to the mainland in each episode. The higher ups couldn't understand how the characters could remain shipwrecked on a deserted island in the Pacific. Finally, Schwartz developed the show's iconic theme song, which explained how the castaways ended up on Gilligan's Island.
Schwartz reveals how he came up the concept of the show, and developed the beloved characters that told each hilarious tale. Bob Denver, who played Gilligan, wasn't even the first choice for the role. Schwartz wanted Dick Van Dyke's brother, Jerry, who ultimately passed to star in a series that never came to be. The Skipper was apparently the hardest character to cast, and yet, Alan Hale became The Skipper on and off the set.
From the pages of Ripley's Believe it or Not, and idea was pitched to Schwartz to have Gilligan discover a dinosaur on his island. Yet another wacky idea would have the Professor secretly be a bank robber, who would sabotage each rescue attempt to allude authorities. Yes, this was the environment that somehow wouldn't detour a resilient and determined Schwartz, who years later created another TV juggernaut, The Brady Bunch.
Schwartz also reveals the answers every fan of Gilligan's Island wants to know. Which star received the most fan mail? Why didn't Tina Louise return for the Rescue movie? What was Mrs. Howell's maiden name? Additionally, the author reveals that people wrote the Coast Guard encouraging them to rescue the cast of the show. I highly recommend this captivating audiobook!

A view behind the making of a childhood favorite
I have some very fond memories of growing up watching reruns of Gilligan’s Island, so I was very much interested in how it was created … presuming that a peak at the personalities and stars that were involved. This was not that book. This book was primarily about the challenges encountered in the production and the struggles to keep it going. In others words … it was all about the suits. Over the years, I have seen many of my favorite TV shows disappear, sometime even at the height of their popularity, so while the book was not as expected, it was very interesting none the less … and I was completely surprised at difficult it all had turned out to be … from getting the initial idea accepted (with the benefit of hindsight it seems like the execs should have known it was be a hit) to fending off competing visions that would have completely destroyed the concept. I was particularly interested in how the same footage for the pilot was edited/recut (rather surreptitiously) to make a completely different show that allowed the original concept to prove itself (something about camels being designed by committee). So over all, I thought it was a good book, if a tad longer than it needed to be … and it scores high for gaining extra nostalgia points (s +1 over all).
I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Interesting insider view
Although probably a little dated, the book was entertaining and gave me some insight into the TV business of the 1960s-80s. It was also a trip down memory lane. The narration was excellent! I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.
