"Island" aired from 1964 to 1967 on CBS and followed a crew of castaways trying to survive on a desert island, including hapless first mate Gilligan (Bob Denver), his captain Skipper Jonas Grumby (Alan Hale, Jr.), and the passengers on their shipwrecked boat.
The series' cancellation had not yet been revealed when the final episode of the show was created, so the series finale, titled "Gilligan the Goddess," featured a plot involving a chief from a neighboring island looking for a wife and did not include the castaways being rescued. In subsequent made-for-TV-movie sequels (one of which was titled "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island"), the castaways were rescued, but always ended up back on the titular atoll for one reason or another.
