I watched so much Gilligan's Island in the past few weeks that I started to write a new episode. Imagine my surprise when I saw Alan Hale Jr. make a "Desert Isle" reference in a rerun of The Wild Wild West. Ross Martin was recovering from a heart attack; so Artemus Gordon doesn't appear in the episode. "The Skipper" plays another agent who was Jim's partner for a couple of shows. In addition to Alan Hale Jr. who were the two other castaways that made an appearance on The Wild Wild West? | theTV.
