The Castaways on Gilligan's Island | DVD |

Following the astonishing (and, to some, appalling) success of the 1978 TV movie Rescue from Gilligan's Island, most of the cast of the popular 1960's sitcom Gilligan's Island were hired for two additional Reunion films. The second, Castaways on Gilligan's Island, finds Gilligan, the Skipper, too the millionaire and his wife, the movie star, the Professor and Mary Ann back on the flyspeck island whence they had recently been rescued. This time, the castaways decide to turn their tiny isle into a tourist resort. This leaves the door wide open for guest stars Tom Bosely and Marcia Wallace as a straitlaced vacationing couple. The castaways on Gilligan's Island blew its network completion out of the water on the occasion of its debut on May 3, 1979.
