Gilligans Island

Gilligans Island






I was always ready after school for Gilligans Island
an American TV sitcom originally produced by United
Artists Television. It aired for three seasons on
the CBS network, from September 26, 1964 to September
4, 1967. It was sponsored by Philip Morris & Company
and Procter & Gamble. The show followed the comic
adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to
survive and ultimately escape from a previously
uninhabited island where they were shipwrecked.
Gilligan's Island ran for a total of 98 episodes. The
first season (consisting of 36 episodes) was filmed
in black-and-white though they were colorized in later
syndication. However, the next two seasons
(62 episodes) and three TV movie sequels were filmed
in color.Enjoying solid ratings during its original
run, the show grew in popularity during decades of
syndication. Today, the title character of Gilligan is
widely recognized as a comedic American popular
culture icon. I still love the show!
