Gilligan's Island (Season 2) DVD Review

Nominated for zero Emmys in its short three-season stint, Gilligan's Island nonetheless has carved itself a notable niche in the television hall of fame. The brainchild of TV icon Sherwood Schwartz, longtime TV writer and creator of The Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island quickly gathered a strong cult following, reaching successive generations of fans via syndication following its cancellation and even spawning a cable TV reality show four decades later. An original CBS series, the show was shuffled between time slots (much like its contemporary program Star Trek), but later became more popular than ever in its syndicated reruns. With a memorable theme song the average viewer will find stuck in his head for days, Gilligan's Island is classic family-friendly television entertainment the way it used to be

The Gilligan's Island (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere Gilligan's Mother-in-Law in which a local islander family arri ves from a neighboring island in the hopes of marrying off their plump and stocky daughter, and they've selected Gilligan as the chosen one Other notable episodes from Season 2 include Agonized Labor in which Gilligan and the Skipper overhear a radio broadcast describing the financial collapse of the Howell business interests, prompting the other castaways to teach the Howells how to work in the real world, and Allergy Time in which everyone on the island develops an allergy to Gilligan
