How it feels

Seven castaways are shipwrecked on a deserted island and try to survive and escape. Their plans always fail, often because the bumbling first mate Gilligan messes things up.

What happens

The first season of the American comedy television series Gilligan's Island was shown in the United States on September 26, 1964 and concluded on June 12, 1965 on CBS. The season introduced the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive and escape from an island on which they had been shipwrecked. Most episodes revolved around the dissimilar castaways' conflicts and their failed attempts—invariably Gilligan's fault—to escape their plight. The season originally aired on Saturdays at 8:30-9:00 pm (EST). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
