An idea for a new Gilligan sitcom I once had. . . . - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Actually, I dreamed it!

Years ago, I had a dream that I was watching TV and Bob Denver was starring in a new sitcom as Gilligan in which he ran an ice cream parlor in a small town in South Dakota.

When I woke up, I realized that it wasn't such a bad idea. You could have Gilligan move to South Dakota and open an ice cream parlor to get as far away from the ocean as possible so he won't end up on a deserted island again, and people could come and go and get involved with Gilligan's and each other's lives, like in Cheers.

I doubt anyone would have taken me seriously, though.

sounds interesting but I would rather keep them on the island. He says he was born in PA so that might be better. It would also not be the same without all of them

Yeah, I remember that.

I don't know how I dreamed of Gilligan ending up in South Dakota. I might have seen something about George McGovern on the news that night before I went to sleep.
