Looks real to me

What got me was when the Skipper said spiders love turtle eggs, and when they mentioned how the pigeon chased the spider away, couldn't it had come back any time
shareThe pigeon killed the spider. Remember the Professor said that birds are a spider's deadliest enemy. I guess the Skipper was being literal in a way.
shareSurreal Sterling Holloway was a welcome surpise!! (The same way, later that year, 1967 he was as goofy, evil Kaa in Disney's Jungle Book after playing generally bumbling characters.)

That spider was the hardest working arachnid in show business!
Here it is about two years earlier attacking the Robinsons and their "Chariot" on "Lost in Space" in 1965.

Notice that when the spider is shot, it makes the same sound that is made by the TIE fighters in "Star Wars."
Wow, talk about gargantuan! The one on GI must have been a baby.
This spider needs its own IMDb page!
Here it is again, in the fall of 1966, on a second season episode of Lost in Space, in color!
It's lost a lot of weight since its earlier appearance.

And here it is again on Lost in Space, a few episodes later.

That makes no sense. Spiders don't make any sounds
shareI KNOW what you mean. When I first watched this show as a kid the Spider episode is the one that "blew it" for me. Even though there were plenty of implausible moments in this show, that one for some reason embarrassed me the most.
I love this show, but really wish Sherwood would have stuck with some more plausible plots.
Ephemeron.
Be glad it never got to season 4 because Sherwood Schwartz was going to have Gilligan find a baby dinosaur on the island.
shareActually, that was one of the ideas a CBS exec (Hunt Stromberg) suggested before GI began production on Season 1. Schwartz hated the idea, but he talked to some special effects people at Disney anyway, then told Stromberg it would be far too expensive for the budget of the show.
According to gilligansisle.com, the original Gilligan's Island Fan Club bought a copy of the Gilligan The Goddess script, and some Season 4 proposals were in it:
1) "Proportional Potions" - Gilligan finds a drink which makes him miniaturized
2) "Another Start Is Born" or "Bye Bye Birdy" - Ginger climbs aboard a rowboat (Titanic Jr.) and gets rescued
3) "An Eye For An Eye" - Ginger Grant is replaced by Miss Krissy and Miss Sally
4) "No Bill For This Tab" - Guest star portrayed by Tab Hunter appears
5) "Ahoy Matey" - Modern day pirate 'Silver Long-Johns' comes to the island
6) "Eye Detect You" - Gilligan thinks he's Dick Tracy and ruins rescue
7) "Who's The Dodo?" - Professor tracks what he thinks is the rare Dodo bird while Gilligan finds a lamp which when rubbed brings forth a genie
8) "Laugh until It Hurts" - Comedian Paul Lynde guest stars to 'test' jokes on the castaways
9) "My Favorite Alien" - A silly alien lands on the island
10) "I Hear You" - A singer (Bobby Vinton?) guest stars as Mary Ann's, Miss Sally's, and Miss Krissy's favorite singer
Not sure about the authenticity of those proposals, but the dinosaur story is in SS's book "Inside Gilligan's Island".
I would have liked to see Paul Lynde on GI,he would be better than Strother Martin as Barkley the game show contestant.
'You can't win them all'.
I don't like Bobby Vinton either.
Also why were there so many gorillas and apes,they were so ugly.
Some of those proposed episodes were heading seriously into the surreal:
Miniature Gilligan?
Gilligan brings forth a genie?
Modern day pirate 'Silver Long-Johns'?
A silly alien lands on the island?
It's true that later in the series you had mind-transference and invisibility, but at least those two episode were spread across two seasons.
Poor Tab Hunter. His star had fallen so far that he had to portray a guest star. :)
...not as embarrassing as Vito Scotti's horrible Japanese sailor character!
