In a more serious comment... Thanks for the video! I'm a Dawn Wells fan, and I _really_ enjoyed her book "What Would Mary Ann Do? ..." I strongly recommend it. It gives some really deep insights into Mary Ann the character, and the type of wholesomeness Wells tried to put into her. If we had a Gilligan's Island reboot, I think it would need to consider deep insights like hers into the characters in order to make their chemistry work. And about Gilligan. I don't believe he was nearly as bumbling as he led us to believe. I believe he knew exactly what he was doing whenever he brought hijinks to the lives of his fellow castaways, making their lives more interesting, and also every time he 'accidentally' thwarted a rescue. He knew keeping up hope of rescue was important for moral, and keeping people working together to achieve it was important for cohesion, but more important in his mind was how harmonious and care free their lives were living there, apart from so-called civilization. I believe GIlligan happened upon an amazing opportunity with the shipwreck, and orchestrated from an apparent position of haplessness, a life of simple pleasures, good company, and having just enough to enjoy the wonders of life itself, outside of the chaos of the competitive modern world. GIlligan was a _genius_ who likely was the one human in all of history (were this not fiction) who created and maintained a successful Social Utopia indefinitely. Of course he did it by imprisoning 6 people on an island against their will, but that's par for the course with Socialism. Long story short (too late!!): I seriously doubt a reboot would work. BUT, I suspect that society has become so accustomed to reboots failing miserably, that at this point we're probably inoculated against a bad reboot ruining the original for us. So sure, I'm on board. :)

@@JOEYFMISFIT For many years Tina Louise daughter Caprice Crane has been trying to make a Gilligans Island reboot or movie🎥but sadly it hasn't come into fruition! Also before the death of creater Sherwood Swartz the rights to a Gilligan's Island movie had been granted and was set to happen! 🏝🥥🚤⛵
