This popular television comedy begins with the shipwreck of the S.S. Minnow
in a terrible storm. Gilligan, the Skipper too, a millionaire and his wife,
a movie-star, the Professor and Mary Ann are all stranded on the island.
Hey, didja see the one where they almost got off the island...?
During what was supposed to be a three-hour tour, the S.S. Minnow is
shipwrecked on an uncharted tropical island following a typhoon. The seven
castaways include the Minnow's blustery captain, his bumbling first mate
Gilligan, a millionaire couple named the Howells, curvaceous movie star
Ginger Grant, sexy farm girl Mary Ann Summers, and a science professor
known as the Professor. Despite their dire situation, the castaways managed
to survive on a diet made up of fish and coconut cream pie, and were aided
by their trusty transistor radio and a seemingly never-ending parade of
guest stars who managed to drop by their "deserted" island (including a big
game hunter, a movie producer, a mad scientist, a rock band, Russian
cosmonauts, foreign spies and a jungle boy), yet never managed to bring the
castaways to safety.
In Hawaii, Gilligan and The Skipper are giving out tours. Five passenger: A
movie star from Hollywood, a General Store Sale's clerk in Kansas, a
professor, and the millionaires aboard the SS Minnow for three hour tour. A
storm comes in and the crew are unable to handle the boat. The castaways
wake up on a deserted Island. They live in huts made from sticks and
leaves. They eat plants and fruits found in the island. They will encounter
many adventures while trying to make it back to civilization.
