Dramatically Different Pilot
Turns out, that the original pilot was very different than the Gilligan’s Island we know and love. For starters, there were different characters. Also, the women were secretaries and a high school teacher. In fact, the network thought that this dramatically different pilot may confuse fans, so they did not re-broadcast it until they figured audiences could handle these changes, which was in 1992.
