Fan Page: Gilligan's Planet

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Gilligan's Planet is a very, very special cartoon to me. Not just because I loved the original Gilligan's Island tv show, but because it had a wacky concept which actually WORKED within the constrains of the established continuity for the characters. They could never build a boat to get off the island despite being able to build cars, plumbing, radios, bombs, housing and a food processing plant capable of producing refined white flour, sugar, eggs, pasteurized milk and all the other ingredients for a Coconut Cream Pie.

So of course, they built a SPACE SHIP. And successfully escaped the island, only to become stranded on an aline planet.

IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!!
