Shipwrecked on an uncharted island, seven stranded castaways — including a movie star and a professor — struggle to survive not only the great outdoors but the mindless meddling of hapless first mate Gilligan (Bob Denver), who always seems to ruin the gang’s chances of getting off the island and back to civilization! In the first season of this classic comedy, everyone tries to help the Skipper (Alan Hale, Jr.) remember how to make a radio transmitter, Gilligan puts Skipper on a diet, an old aviator (guest star Hans Conried) crashes on the island, Skipper and Mr. Howell (Jim Backus) campaign to be leader, Skipper falls victim to an ancient curse, Mr. Howell produces a play starring Ginger (Tina Louise) and Gilligan and Mrs. Howell (Natalie Schafer) forms an orchestra with the others. Plus, watch for a surprise guest appearance by a young Kurt Russell as a jungle boy! One of the most hilarious sitcoms ever produced, this wonderfully wacky series changed television comedy forever.
