    Another classic tv show, that is somewhat prophetic of today's covid panic, with the mask wearing and the manic search to find a cure.

    the manic search to find a cureIt'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.

    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).

    Gilligan could never be rescued on the TV show - otherwise it would have been over. 
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..

 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?!
 
To: DallasBiff
    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.

    I knew a guy who had to have the plots of Gilligan’s Island explained to him.

To: SamAdams76
    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.”
