They couldn't be rescued without destroying the series. We all knew it but, it's painful. Why can't they get off the damn island?!

After Gilligan is bitten by a rare, deadly insect, The Professor informs him that he has 24 hours left to live.
Fauci is Gilligan.
It's like Doc Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies - what do you mean you high fallutin' doctors can't cure the common cold. Keep warm, drink plenty of fluids, take aspirin and get a lot of rest and you will be better in seven days.
They would have been rescued at least a dozen times if Gilligan hadn’t screwed it up anyway.
The deadly Mantis khani. I spent way too much time watching tv as a kid.
If they rebooted Gillian’s Island today, they would have to make the Skipper and Gillian gay, the Professor a global warming expert (love the show where the Professor thought the island was sinking, but Gillian used the stick to mark his fish traps), Ginger a typical Hollywood no talent liberal, The Howells as evil capitalists and Mary Anne as a conservative Trump loving crazy person (which is what we aren’t).
That is a show that looks much stupider today than when I watched it as a child.
One show that improved with time is "Hogan's Heroes". Now that I have a more full understanding of WW2 then when I was a child, I appreciate the basic premise of the show much more.
if it was today
everyone would mash with everyone
anyone who didn’t would be thrown off a cliff for being selfish and unloving and judgmental
all the women would be fat and tattooed and b1tchy
all the guys would be metrosexual whipped p*ssy worshipping cucks except for one chad
The cast of HH had Holocaust survivors and WW 2 veterans. The humor was bittersweet..
I’ve always said that the castaways should have eaten Gilligan on day 1!
Luckily for Gilligan, The Professor identified the wrong bug!
I get that when I watch The Flintstones, I CAN’T believe the stuff that just flew over my head when I watched as a kid, especially the early episodes.
Better than buggered.
I knew a guy who had to have the plots of Gilligan’s Island explained to him.
Kato Kalien is living proof Gilligan boinked Mary Ann
I think Mary ann would have been more fun to eat
Don't forget 180 proof homemade corn liquor, Andy!
They were rescued in a couple of TV movies.
They were hoping for a reboot like Hotel or Fantasy Island with the third TV movie, “Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan’s Island.”
All they got was a Saturday morning cartoon with some live action bits - “Gilligan’s Planet.”
