Gilligan's Island was an American TV sitcom originally produced by United Artists Television. It aired for three seasons on the CBS network, from September 26, 1964 to September 4, 1967. It was sponsored by Philip Morris & Company and Procter & Gamble. The show followed the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive and ultimately escape from a previously uninhabited island where they were shipwrecked. In 2002, Gilligan's Island came back as a reality show, similar to Survivor, where 7 contestants were shipwrecked on an island. They then had to recreate the original Gilligan's Island sitcom with costumes and props.

It NEVER boned, far as I'm concerned.

Gilligan's Island boned the fish with the last 2 reunion movies. They should have stopped after Rescue From Gilligan's Island.

If you're talking about just the SERIES, which I assumed you were, it really couldn't have 'boned' because it was exactly the same show when it went off the air as it was when it premiered.

If you're including the movies, well...there's an argument that the last couple movies weren't really very good, but honestly, this wasn't Shakespeare we were talking about. It was always intended to be good, goofy, fun and using that measure, even the last two films squeaked by, IMO.

I don't think it ever did. I only watched the first reunion movie. They never should have landed back on that island but the series itself was very funny.

The series? Never, even with the giant spider.

This I agree, the series itself never felt tiresome or repetitive and surprising too considering it lasted 98 episodes.
