The delivery of my Gilligan's Island Season 2 DVD set was prompt. At under $7 I found it to be extremely entertaining given my laugh per dollar index that I invented. However I found some of the plot lines inconsistent. For example, when Gilligan finds silent movie equipment, the Professor immediately instructs the castaways to make their own movie, so they can send it on a raft for help. So if they have a raft, why can't they just send a person? Or if that's too dangerous, what about a note that reads, "We're stranded. Here are our coordinates." Furthermore, in "Gilligan's Living Doll" they discover an old robot on the island. Which makea sense when you think about it. They instruct the robot to make a boat. If they have boat parts, what do they need the robot for? "Hi-Fi Gilligan" pushed the the limits of plausibility. The premise Gilligan's teeth, when mashed together can become a radio receiver. This was discovered after the Skipper hit him in the face with a crate. I was up all night hitting myself in the face with a crate and only once was I able to receive radio signals. What gives? I understand that the best documentaries manipulate the elements, but I feel science should not be ignored.Read full review

A fascinating look at how a hit show almost wasn’t - many times! It’s a miracle “Gilligan’s Island” made the air in the form its creator, Sherwood Schwartz intended. A Jewish comedy writer vs the stuffed shirts at CBS. Hilarious many times and a little preachy in a few instances. Could have included more stories from the episodes themselves. Still, a must for any “Gilligan’s Island” aficionados.
