- The brief appearance by Jim Backus, wracked by Parkinson's Disease, in The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island. The rest of the cast is visibly moved when he appears, and some were crying.
- Everyone knew it would be one of his last performances, and after filming had finished on that brief scene, the entire cast and crew burst into a spontaneous round of applause for Jim Backus.
- In the episode X Marks the Spot, one of the wires Gilligan cuts short circuits the nuclear warhead while he's inside, causing it to go haywire and shoot across the island. The rest of the castaways presume Gilligan is dead. In the next scene, everyone is sitting at the dining table with sad expressions, discussing about what to dedicate in Gilligan's honor.
- He ends up being fine but it's still a sad scene nonetheless.
