Gilligan's island?

Question

why on gilligans island the prof- could make a radio out of a coconut but not fix a small hole in the boat.

Answer 1

Because they could not of been ship wrecked and have a series!!!!

Answer 2

Because he was a scientist, not a carpenter.  In other words, the concept of such a repair was beyond his grasp!

Answer 3

he was a scientist - brilliant but impractical!

Answer 4

he's afraid of the water. :)

Answer 5

Because Gilligan breaks everything. And when Gilligan breaks the radio, it's just unfortunate.  When Gilligan breaks the Professor's patch, everyone drowns.

Answer 6

Even stranger was why they did not walk to Daytona Beach FL.  It was filmed just south of there in a very shallow body of water and they should have been able to see the hotels and hear the motorcycles.

Answer 7

Remember, they tried. They had made nails, finally come up with a glue. They glued the wood on, but decided to coat the whole boat with the glue. After a short time, the glue let go, and the whole boat fell apart.  I guess I watched all the shows for Mary Ann,,,,

Answer 8

Obvioulsy, the professor was trying to prolong his stay on the island to get a better chance of hooking up with MaryAnn! (way hotter than Ginger...)
