Anyone get on your back for watching GI? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did any family member or friend ever get on your case for watching "Gilligan's Island"? My late mom sort of went ballistic when my young brother-who, this was back in 1982, was 4-brought it up, and my mom tried lecturing me about GI being for minds of a 3 year old child and she said I was not such a person. I'm sure the show wasn't intended to make people go "duhhhh".

Nobody ever really got on my back, but people who I knew who didnt like the show, would tell me how stupid Gilligans Island was. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

My mother used to say..."TURN THAT CRAP OFF!!"

Nobody in my family liked that show. I used to try to talk about it but other family members either never watched it or hated it.

I was alone in my GI fandom. THe kids on the block weren't allowed to watch TV other than public broadcasting.

I thought that I was the only person on earth that realized how great this show was.
