The actor appeared in plenty of shows not named Gilligan's Island.

If it were possible I would have liked to see him and his pop appear together in something.

''You got 8 out of 13'' ---Did you recognize Alan Hale, Jr. outside of Gilligan's Island, or do you only know him as The Skipper? ----I got 1, 2, 7, 12, and 13 wrong.
On TAGS episode, he calls Barney "little buddy" several timesa Hm...
13/13. I did it again little buddy.
8/13…. I actually only recognized Alan Hale on the Green Acres episode I saw …. But strictly guessed the others!
9/13
Eeek! …Looks like I only know him as the Skipper 😂
12/13, got the last one wrong.
Where's the Love Boat episode where he played a retired boxer who set up a shipboard match with an old rival? Nancy Kulp was in it too, but I can't remember whether she was his,or his opponent's, wife.
8/13
No "Casey Jones" (c. 1959), with Alan Hale Jr. in the starring role? That was my first familiarity with him, even though I was just a little kid (but crazy about trains).
Just like Sheldon Cooper, of The Big Bang Theory, and Young Sheldon! He's crazy over trains also.
no BIFF Bker ?? that was his show
He was great in the Inspector General with Danny Kaye.
8/13. Some I knew but got tripped up on a few westerns.
I know he had done a lot away from Gilligan. He was also in the running to be Hoss on Bonanza.
6 At least I was sure about them
9/13
6/13 = ouch! Alan Hale Jr. was a GREAT actor!
9/13! And 3 bonus questions: [1] What MeTV star was considered for the Skipper? [2] According to the pilot, what was the Skipper's real name? [3] On which series did he reunite with Bob Denver? Was it [a] The Good Guys [b] Dusty's Trail or [c] Far Out Space Nuts? And clearly they ran this quiz because 5 was on last night!
1. Carroll O'Connor.
2. Jonas Grumby
Don't know 3.
Here's a bonus question for you: Who was up for the role as Gilligan?

Here's a bonus question for you: Who was up for the role as Gilligan?
Jerry Van Dyke, who later did My Mother The Car! And the answer to 3 was The Good Guys! Dusty's Trail was Forrest Tucker [F Troop] and FOSN was Chuck McCann!
my 3 cents - Jerry Van Dyke - his characters were so so lame - even on the MTM show
cant stand watching him
cant stand watching him
I think that too, but he was better in coach
9/13.
