The castaways eventually escaped the island
After three seasons, the show Gilligan’s Island ended with the castaways still stranded. For 11 years they stayed there so audiences had to believe. Then, in 1978, producers reunited the cast in the movie Rescue From Gilligan’s Island. Note the replacement for Tina Louise. The castaways were saved, returned to civilization, where they had trouble fitting in. Before the movie ended, they decided to take a three-hour tour for fun… but everybody knows, it’s never a three-hour tour.
