The two-man crew of the charter boat SS Minnow and five passengers on a "three-hour tour" from Honolulu run into a typhoon and are shipwrecked on an uncharted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Their efforts to be rescued are typically thwarted by the inadvertent conduct of the hapless first mate, Gilligan. In 1997, show creator Sherwood Schwartz explained that the underlying concept, people with different characters and backgrounds being in a situation where they need to learn how to get along and cooperate with each other to survive, is still "the most important idea in the world today".

I watched various episodes of this here and there because it's been in syndication forever, but also I missed large chunks of it and don't really remember it too much. It is a show I would go back to at some point and watch more of.

I've seen episodes now & again. It's fluff, but it's fun.
Some supplementary viewing:

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

My parents used to watch TV Land a lot, and it was on there, so I've seen a bit. It's pretty good considering how old it is.

I watched it occasionally as a kid. I enjoyed the theme song, and I like Jim Backus (I didn't realise back then that he voiced Mr. Magoo, though it's kind of obvious in retrospect). Aside from that, it was kind of meh. Not horrible, just a little bland and repetitive.

It's kind of funny to see actors from that show in other stuff. The MST3K guys always pointed it out. Talk about being too iconic for your own good, man.

The theme song is very catchy. Do shows even do that still? Often, that was one of the best parts.

I still watch Gilligan's Island. Did you know, that when the Khitan General asked Conan the Cimmerian what was best in life, that he would also have accepted Gilligan's Island as answer? It's true!

I like the Professor and the Skipper. Those two are good dudes.

Oh, jeez, do I have to pick? They're all good...

Oh, where to even begin... How exactly big is the island? How did they get giant spiders there when prehistoric giant spiders died out due to oxygen saturation (I think), and if there ARE conditions that support them... well, where are the others? How does everyone stay so clean?
