One of the most beloved TV shows in American history, Gilligan’s Island chronicled the misadventures of a group of shipwrecked tourists on a tropical island. The show tells the story of their numerous escape attempts, which are usually doomed by the ship’s hapless first mate, the titular Gilligan. Gilligan’s Island only ran for three seasons, but left an indelible mark on American pop culture.
