In that TV program each character reasoned and acted in their individual/stereotypical way and there was no grand narrative or meta-logic to subsume or unite them all.

Each utilized their particular discourse when approaching a problem or object. There were no attempts find concord between the often antagonistic vocabularies of each castaway.

Gilligan's Island proves to be an oft-hilarious story of never-ending confinement.

Totally! Each castaway was his or her own island. The show was a brilliant commentary on the human condition to create/recreate one's own version of reality no matter the circumstance.

And it hasn't dated. It doesn't look or sound like any other comedy from the 1960s era.
