This can come as a shock but "Giligan Island" wasn't good From critics during the three seasonal running of CBS in the 1960s. Sitom about seven castaways trapped on an undiscovered island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean was not the most stupid show on television at the time (Sitkom "my mother, car" possessed that difference), but its unintentionally wide panties and repetitive formula - How will they fail to get off Giligan and the gang this week? - were far from the wit and relative sophistication of the "SEC Van Dyke show".

Artists tend to be desperate for approval, so you may think that all critical options thrown on the Island Giligan will upset the creator of the show, Sherwood Schwartz. After all, it was the first series created by the veteran comedy creative, which would break into business 26 years before how Bob Hope's radio show writer. If he failed to catch the viewers, he could never get another shot - because, at this point in time, the three biggest networks were essentially the only game in the city when it comes to getting a television show on the ether.

If Schwartz swipped his reviews, he certainly did not share his anxiety in the interviews. In fact, he was completely unhantable about the horrible notifications.

In an interview with Portland Press Herald during the series "Initial Run Run", Schwartz admitted that critics were not the fans of "Giligan Island" before they were bothered "here are more public than critics." The creator of the show then continued to joke, "next year, intellectual critics are likely to look at the Island Giligan. Then they will write tracts on our "social satire on many levels" ... maybe professors will require deeper satire. "

"Giligan Island" has actually caused critical analysis over the years. Who can forget Christine Harnos, crashes the series "Disturbing Women's Showing of the Spa in the Spa in" Stunned and Confused? "Closer to the home, /The Whitney Seibord movie has written As the "Island Gilligan" uses the archetypes of Comedy Part-Art. There are difficult things going on in the Island Giligan if you decide to look away from the clown hires of the characters.

Even Schwartz boasted the show's uncertainty. As he told Portland Press Herald:

"The first time I explained my idea of ​​the island and the people of a bunch of agency directors, I happened - just happened, I warn you - to use the word" microcosm "," a world in miniature, which is what is "Giligan Island". To think that someone once considered the "island of Giligan" too exalted! "

So, the next time you find yourself killing time with the Gilligan Island Marathon, remember the sage words of Harnos, Seibard and Schwartz and realized that you were presented with real, piercing art.
