Of all the TV shows that relied heavily on the principal actors of the show, Gilligan's Island sure beats many if not all shows for casting. The members of the shipwreck was ingenious as to who was aboard. But really the typecasting for the parts is what sets the show apart, elevates it way above many other light, comedy shows-and even some dramas. The actors are just what you would expect the characters to be, magnificent portrayals. The script, the setting, the story line-all take a back seat to the actors playing their parts to perfection. It is #1 on my list of shows that need watching just to see the roles enacted in the most excellent way. For any aspiring actor or actress, they would do well to watch the 'pros' on Gilligan's Island for the model in character acting.
