Love classic TV on MeTV my guilty pleasure is Gilligan's Island had a crush on the Professor when I was young like other viewers I wondered if he was so smart & invent so many things why couldn't he fix the boat to get off the island - this Sep is GI 50th anniversary & only cast members still alive are Tina Louise (Ginger) & Dawn Wells (Mary Ann).

“Gilligan's Island" was renewed for a fourth season, and "Gunsmoke" was cancelled because of its declining ratings, a high level CBS executive’s wife got upset that "Gunsmoke" was being cancelled. There wasn't enough room on the '67-'68 CBS schedule to re-add "Gunsmoke" so Gilligan's Island" was the show that got trimmed from the '67-68 CBS fall schedule. That explains why there wasn't any sort of "closure" episode for "Gilligan's Island" in the '66-'67 season finale, because it was a spur-of-the-moment cancellation after show producers were told before season end that the show was being renewed. In 1978 on NBC after 15 years on the island finally the castaways got off the island in the TV movie “Rescue from Gilligan's Island.”

Sit right back it was 50 years ago today on Sept. 26,1964, the Minnow set sail with the first mate, and the skipper, and five passengers on a three hour tour… a three hour tour.

The Coast Guard would often receive telegrams from people who didn’t realize the show Gilligan's Island wasn’t real.

Gilligan's Island boat Minnow was named after Federal Communications Commission president Newton Minow whom GI creator Schwartz loathed. Minow is most famous for giving a speech in which he called television programming “a vast wasteland.” Minnow advocated for educational programming.
