* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The show is often remembered as timeless, but there are many indications that it took place in TheSixties, even to viewers who did not live through them:
** The setting itself is very "period". Fascination with Polynesian culture was a mid-century fad in American pop culture which was in decline by 1963 (by which point UsefulNotes/LasVegas had came into the zeitgeist). Just one or two years later it's harder to imagine the wealthy Howells or the glamorous Ginger Grant not simply flying to glitzy Vegas instead of going on a three-hour boat tour out of Hawaii.
** Most of the characters couldn't exist much later than the mid-20th century:
*** Mr. Howell, described simply as "the millionaire" in the opening titles, would have to be a ''billionaire'' today for his character to have the same impact, and the Howells in general are relics of the Gilded Age/Jazz Age notion of old money, obsessed with the Social Register and a very formalized, ritualized, and aristocratic way of living. Today's super-rich are much less concerned with propriety and respectability.
*** Ginger is very much an "Old Hollywood" kind of celebrity, the better to contrast her artifice and studied distance with her new setting. Today's celebrities try to be much more accessible to their fans, emphasizing their ordinariness (if such a thing can be done with a straight face) and that in many ways they are "one of us".
*** The Skipper is a WWII naval veteran, having served in the Pacific on his tour of duty, and the series aired at a time when such a character was still relatively youthful (Alan Hale was in his early forties throughout the show's run).
*** Mary Ann is a farm girl who, had she remained in Kansas, expected to marry young (she is revealed to have had a fiance waiting for her in the reunion special) and become a {{housewife}}, this being before women's lib.
** Many plotlines are similarly dated:
*** One episode involves the characters coming across a Japanese holdout (played, of course, by an Italian-American actor in {{yellowface}}). At the time, some holdouts were still at large, although they were becoming increasingly rare by TheSixties and the last surrendered in 1974.
** The series aired with a LaughTrack despite the implausible setting for one (this being during an era when ''cartoons'' would have laugh tracks), and although there was some location footage (shot mostly at Zuma Beach and the surrounding area) many sets were studio-bound.
