Dramatically Different Pilot
The original plot of Gilligan’s Island is very different from what we ended up seeing on TV. There were many different characters and the female leads were mainly secretaries and high school teachers. It was only in 1992 when producers saw that the fans could handle the confusion so they broadcasted the ‘different plot’.

Two Cartoons
To make sure that things remained relevant, many shows were transformed in cartoon spin-offs during the 60’s and 70’s. Gilligan’s Island tried this trend and made 2 cartoons. The classic form was named Gilligan’s Island and the other cartoon had a slightly different set in outer space, thus, called Gilligan’s Planet.
