To me, Gilligan's Island is a prime example of just how totally asinine TV Sit-Coms were back in the mid-1960s. When it comes to utterly stupid and completely predictable situations, this dumber-than-dumb TV show certainly scrapes the absolute bottom of the barrel for laughs, which it never produces.
How this despicable, totally unfunny program actually managed to last for 3 successful seasons defies comprehension. It should have been immediately canceled right after its very first episode.
I think that Gilligan's Island's biggest and most damaging deficit was, of course, its #1 star, Bob Denver (as Gilligan), a bona-fide buffoon whose low-brow, dimwitted antics produced nothing but groans of annoyance and exasperation from this here viewer.
And regardless of how desperately the talentless scriptwriters of this badly-conceived show tried to dangle plenty of eye-candy in front of my face, this didn't, in any way, compensate for the clear lack of genuine comedy that definitely rendered Gilligan's Island virtually without a pulse and pathetically anemic.
P.S.
If you were to ask me, I'd swear that the Skipper and Gilligan were secretly sweet on each other. (nudge-nudge-wink-wink)
