In 1964, the situation comedy "Gilligan's Island" premiered on CBS-TV.
It's funny how certain days stick out in your memory such as when J.F.K was shot, and seeing Lee Harvey Oswald shot live on tv. But for me, Gilligan's Island premiere was another one. Ever since T.V. Guide showed the fall round ups, I couldn't wait to see this show. Before the show came on, my mom announced we were going to go and visit my sister. Even thou I loved going to my sister's house, I was disappointed. Later as everyone was talking in the living room, my sister had her tv on, and Gilligan was playing in the background. Funny, but as if gazing into a crystal ball, I can still see that day 51 years ago.
