Seven people set sail on what is scheduled to be a three-hour sightseeing tour on the charter boat The Minnow, get caught in a storm and end up stranded on an uncharted tropical island together. The comedy comes from the failed attempts at escaping the island and the interaction of the very diverse group: comprised of a rotund but happy-go-lucky skipper, Jonas Grumby (known as "The Skipper"); his bumbling but well-meaning first mate, Gilligan; a snobby well-to-do millionaire, Thurston Howell III and his wife, Lovey; a buxom sexy movie star bombshell, Ginger; a high-school science professor, Roy Hinkley (called "The Professor"); and a nice country girl, Mary Ann. Viewers of the venerable series would be correct to ponder the impossible number of guests who visited the islands, the incredible versatility of the common coconut and the fact that the castaways somehow managed to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

THR Staff The Hollywood Reporter 11/16/2018
The classic sitcom about six stock characters marooned off the coast of Hawaii only ran three seasons but became a TV staple in syndication. Tina Louise, 81, still thinks of Ginger as the role of her career. Go to Full Review Brandon Nowalk AV Club 11/12/2018
Gilligan's Island is a classic sitcom whose popularity doesn't match its critical reputation. It's a silly show, and silliness has a way of alienating anyone searching for greatness. Go to Full Review Eric Deggans NPR 11/12/2018
Wells always maintained that the show's innocent humor was what made it a classic. Go to Full Review Mark Rozeman Paste Magazine 11/13/2018
At its best, the series-despite its isolated setting-was a warm, inviting world that felt like a great break from the banal mundaneness of life. Go to Full Review Stuart Galbraith DVDTalk.com 11/12/2018
But like many of the wilder sitcoms of the 1960s, the series had exhausted every reasonably plausible story situation that could be derived from its limited premise, of seven castaways shipwrecked on an uncharted island in the Pacific. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/18/2018 It is highly likely that this final season of the classic hit TV series from the 60's, is the absolute pinnacle of the show's rather short, but nonetheless very enduring run. See more Read all reviews
