[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 279957, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]Yeah, the reunion movies are... Well, reunion movies. Even though Sherwood Schwartz insists that RESCUE FROM GILLIGAN'S ISLAND was not a "reunion movie", but instead a "final episode" of sorts for the original series. I like his persistence, but I don't buy it. RESCUE FROM GILLIGAN'S ISLAND just doesn't have the magic of the original show. The life seems to have been pumped out a little bit. The cast is older, and Tina Louise stomped her feet for more money and finally decided not to reprise her role of Ginger. We got Judith Baldwin in her place, and that's a big reason why the movie just doesn't "work" for me. Judith Baldwin played Ginger in RESCUE and the second TV movie called THE CASTAWAYS ON GILLIGAN'S ISLAND. Constance Forslund took over for Baldwin who had taken over for Louise in the final movie titled THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS ON GILLIGAN'S ISLAND in 1981. That final movie was allegedly used as a potential new series called ALOHA, PARADISE, but the network passed on the project because of the disappointing Nielsen ratings. What I don't like most about the Ginger re-casts is the way the replacement actresses play her. Louise gave Ginger sexiness and humor, but Baldwin and Forslund amp up the sexiness and are basically vacant of a sense of humor. [/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
