Gilligan's Planet (1982)
as a teen, I loved this cartoon!
I was 14 years old when this cartoon first came out and I loved it! Of course, it's predecessors "New Adventures of Gilligan" and "Gilligan's Island" already had me hooked. I couldn't get enough of the whole Gilligan's Island experience, and being a child of the sixties - anything to do with space was a sure hit with me, as well. So, it only made sense that this one would. Personal taste, I guess. I can't wait to be able to get the whole series on DVD, so that my kids may enjoy it as much as I did. It sure is / was better than what's on TV Saturday mornings in this day and age. We live on DVD's. But, if you like the most recent show "Real Gilligan's Island" - don't bother with these originals. Absolutely, no comparison and an insult to the original cast of the previous shows.
The New Adventures of Gilligan (1974)
This should be on DVD
I was 6 years old when I first saw this cartoon. It was my favourite cartoon. I will never forget the excitement I felt watching it! I mean for a 6 year old, it didn't take much. I couldn't wait for this cartoon to come on. I believe the Groovy Ghoulies introduced it. Then there was also "Gilligan's Planet". I loved Gilligan's Island, so it was only natural to enjoy these cartoons. So, this was a dream come true. Now that I have kids, I would love for them to be able to watch these cartoons. I hope they come on DVD, because I would love to watch them over & over again. There was no limit to their imaginations, everything you could possibly think of they made from bamboo, but they couldn't build a ship?! A great escape, especially in times like these, when it's hard to find "safe" programming for your kids.
