Gilligan's Island is the longest tour ever. Crew and passengers of the S.S. Minnow crashed on a remote island. They had only signed up for a three hour tour, that got extended to three seasons on CBS from 1964-1967. Starring Bob Denver as Gilligan and Alan Hale, Jr. as the Skipper, Jonas Grumby. Also starring Russell Johnson as the Professor Roy Hinkley, Jr., Dawn Wells as Mary Ann Summers, Tina Louise as movie star Ginger Grant, and Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer as the millionaire and his wife the Howells.
How it got this far
1st Round: defeated Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em 9-2
2nd Round: defeated Frasier (1993) 13-7
3rd Round: defeated Petticoat Junction 7-4
Quarterfinals: defeated I Love Lucy/The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour 10-6
It was not sunny in this sitcom where Danny DeVito got his start as super mean boss Louie De Palma. Set at a cab company, Judd Hirsch stars as Alex Reiger, the only cabbie who was there full time not supplementing with another job. Marilu Henner is Elaine Nardo, Tony Danza is Tony Banta, Jeff Conaway is Bobby Wheeler, and Andy Kaufman is mechanic Latka Gravas. John Burns (Randall Carver) was dropped after season 1. Bobby was dropped at the end of season 3. Christopher Lloyd joined the cast as "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski in season 2. Danny DeVito's real wife Rhea Perlman played Zena Sherman in 6 episodes. Carol Kane recurred as Latka's eventual wife Simka Dahblitz-Gravas. Taxi aired five seasons from 1978-1983, the first four on ABC. When they cancelled at the end of season 4, NBC picked up Taxi for a 5th season pairing it with Cheers on Thursday nights. But that did not help Taxi's ratings improve as it was still two years before The Cosby Show would save the night (although I like Fame a lot better than TCS).
How it got this far
1st Round: defeated Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister 9-2
2nd Round: defeated The Wonder Years (1988) 10-1
3rd Round: defeated Newhart 11-8
Quarterfinals: defeated M*A*S*H 9-6
I am expanding the voting period to 8 days. Winner will be part of the three show finals. Loser will compete in the 4th place match.
