Created by: Sherwood Schwartz Original Network: CBS Original Run: 26 September 1964 – 17 April 1967 About Gilligan's Island + Gilligan's Island is an American sitcom created and produced by Sherwood Schwartz that aired on CBS from 1964 to 1967. The show follows seven castaways stranded on an uncharted desert isle after their charter boat, the S.S. Minnow, is caught in a storm during what was meant to be a three-hour tour. The series' now-iconic theme song, "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle," was written by Sherwood Schwartz specifically to explain the castaways' predicament to viewers without needing lengthy exposition, and it remains one of the most recognisable theme tunes in television history. Its first season was filmed in black and white, with the remaining two seasons produced in colour. Across three seasons, the show ran for 98 episodes, following Gilligan, the Skipper, and their fellow castaways as they attempted — and consistently failed — to find their way home. Though cancelled after just three seasons, Gilligan's Island found an extraordinary second life in syndication, becoming one of the most frequently rerun television series of all time and cementing its status as a beloved piece of American pop culture. The show's enduring popularity led to several television movie sequels and an animated spin-off, and its cast of memorable characters — from the bumbling Gilligan to the wealthy Howells — remain instantly recognisable to generations of fans. Special Features + This complete series box set includes the following bonus features: • Select-Episode Commentaries — Commentary tracks by show creator Sherwood Schwartz on selected episodes. • Rare Pilot Episode — A rarely seen original pilot, not part of the regular series. • Tropical Tidbits Trivia — A fun featurette packed with behind-the-scenes trivia. • Gilligan's Island Survival Guide — A lighthearted look at castaway survival, Gilligan-style. • Before the 3-Hour Tour — A featurette exploring the show's origins. • Gilligan's Island: A Pop-Culture Phenomenon — A retrospective featurette on the show's lasting cultural impact.
