In this premiere of GILLIGAN'S PLANET your Saturday Morning preservationist, Christopher Jay, takes a look at the origin of the show. We take a look at the talent behind the scenes, a rundown of the pilot, "I Dream of Genie", and a look at the legacy of GILLIGAN'S PLANET after all these years.

It’s not just a look at GILLIGAN'S PLANET but also how the desert isle show came to be. Explore the life and times of Sherwood Schwartz, and the rest of the castaways.   

Come along with Gilligan, The Skipper, and the rest all the way back to September 18, 1982. Take a trip back to the 80s, and explore how the castaways came to Saturday Morning! But this episode isn’t just about that. Take a deep dive into the lives of all the actors who made the original "Gilligan's Island" a slapstick classic.
