** Russell Johnson admitted to being upset at first by being typecast. He ultimately accepted that he would always be known as the Professor, saying that "it's brought a lot of joy to people, and that's not a bad legacy."
** Even Tina Louise has warmed to the legacy of the show. Speaking on the death of her only surviving co-star, Dawn Wells, she noted that Gilligan's Island was being shared by generations of families since its cancellation, and that the show was a source of comfort during the turmoil of COVID-19. Her Twitter bio humorously notes that she is "still living on an island (Manhattan)," and she has made allusions to her show on social media.

** For many years, Tina Louise absolutely ''refused'' to acknowledge the show or her part in it. She was the only surviving cast member to refuse to participate in the animated series or the reunion movies, which naturally resulted in her being portrayed in ''Surviving Gilligan's Island'' (which was co-produced by Dawn Wells, the cast member with which she was said to get along the least) as a vapid bitch while everyone else had no negative traits at all. Louise seems to have mellowed out in the years since, however -- she occasionally makes jokes and references to the show on Twitter (even noting in her description that she is "still living on an island (Manhattan)"), she did occasionally attend reunion specials (and seemed to be having a good time in them), and she even [[https://twitter.com/TheTinaLouise/status/1344465352655163392 paid tribute to Wells]] after the latter's death in 2020.
** For many years, the entire first season was a regretful experience, since it was in black-and-white (Seasons 2 and 3 were in color) and thus episodes from it were rarely aired because of a perceived preference for the later color episodes.
