Gilligan’s Island is one of those shows that has stood the test of time and become a staple in most American homes since first hitting our screens in 1963. Many of us can remember watching the kooky adventures of the seven stranded castaways while we got ready for school in the morning. Or maybe you ran home from the bus stop every afternoon to tune in.
The quirky ensemble of characters had infectious personalities, and every week we were convinced they’d finally figured out how to get off that island.
It gave us countless memorable stories, and a surprising number of uses for bamboo, vines, and all manner of island detritus. If you remember many of the details, you could be a Gilligan aficionado.
