{"product_id":"inside-gilligans-island-from-creation-to-syndication-9780786463688","title":"Inside Gilligan's Island: From Creation to Syndication","description":"While every new TV series has to face some problems, no show had to overcome greater obstacles than \u003ci\u003eGilligan's Island\u003c\/i\u003e. In spite of that, no series has achieved greater success, as measured by the fact that \u003ci\u003eGilligan's Island\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eGilligan's Island, \u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-305939\"\u003eSherwood Schwartz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.07w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786463688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786463686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER010010\"\u003eTelevision | Direction \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER010030\"\u003eTelevision | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe late \u003cb\u003eSherwood Schwartz\u003c\/b\u003e lived in Beverly Hills, California.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44493810499821,"sku":"9780786463688","price":49.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_00d9a6c0-76cd-43de-aa1f-4aaf871adbc2.jpg?v=1700916959","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/inside-gilligans-island-from-creation-to-syndication-9780786463688","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
