Their three-hour tour is now a three-season television classic as the Skipper, Gilligan, the Howells, Ginger, Mary Anne and the Professor settle in to life on the island. The seven castaways struggle to survive the great outdoors — and the mindless meddling of hapless Gilligan, who always seems to ruin their chances of getting back to civilization! In the third season, Gilligan thinks he is becoming a vampire, the professor tries to repair a jetpack, an egotistical movie producer arrives and directs a musical version of Hamlet, the island is invaded by a spy who looks just like Gilligan, a witch doctor casts a spell, a compulsive kidnapper (comedy giant Don Rickles) plagues the castaways, Mrs. Howell receives love letters from a secret admirer and the gang attempts to contact a spacecraft in orbit. Television comedy was never the same after this wonderfully wacky series.
