Gilligan's Island will always be a life saver for me. As a confused young teen I would come home from middle school, make a bowl of cereal, laugh through the episode and then feel sad when the final theme would play at the episode's end. So much more than a show, these characters were my friends. I laugh at the bad reviews of people who take themselves (and the show) too seriously. My faves all time are 1) MASH, 2) Friends and 3) Gilligan's Island. I also love Star Trek, Cheers, Quantum Leap (the original), Mad Men, and Dexter. Gilligan's Island will simply always be a top 3 show for me all-time. Absolutely no apologies.
