Throughout the history of American TV, there have been different shows and sitcoms targeting that specific period of time. Television shows evolve through the years to keep up with the times. But once in a while, a timeless series emerges for audiences to enjoy decades later. One sitcom that has become a classic is Gilligan’s Island. The three seasons of the show aired back in the ‘60s, but ever since then, their popularity has grown immensely.

Of course, the seriousness of the situation is beautifully balanced with humor. The dynamic mix of people kept the show unpredictable and beloved. But the characters wouldn’t be so iconic if it wasn’t for the actors who brought them to life.
