That was nice. I miss nice. They all seemed so friendly and personable! This trips two nostalgia buttons for me! The 80’s and watching old shows from the 60’s as a kid in the 1970’s.
I was struck most by how little Alan Hale had changed in the 25 years since the show had aired. It was also a bit jarring to hear young Gilligan’s/Maynard G. Kreb’s voice coming out of 50 something silver haired Bob Denver. Also, you could tell he wasn’t terribly fond of having to wear the sailor hat. He had taken it off, almost immediately after his interview was over by about 12 minutes in. Alan Hale never takes off his Skipper cap. Like he says in his interview, it’s become his alter-ego and he doesn’t seem to mind. Natalie Schaffer, who would have been pushing 90 in this interview, seems quite sharp and funny.
Dawn Wells looks spectacular, even with the 80’s hair! It’s amusing to think that she’s the same age in this clip as I am now!
Sun Country wine coolers!
Also, Mary Ann > Ginger.
