HOME > The Real Gilligan's Island > The Real Gilligan's Island 2TBS's 'The Real Gilligan's Island 2' to premiere June 8
TBS has announced that The Real Gilligan's Island 2, a second edition of The Real Gilligan's Island reality series that it aired late last year, will premiere Wednesday, June 8 at 9PM ET/PT.
Like the network's original adaptation of the classic Sherwood Schwartz comedy, The Real Gilligan's Island 2 will feature two teams of castaways who "personify" the original Gilligan’s Island characters becoming stranded on an island and attempting to find a way off. Among the new edition's highlights -- an accident that results in one of the Gingers being rushed to the hospital and a love triangle between a Gilligan, a Mary Ann, and a Professor.
The Real Gilligan's Island had marked TBS's third attempt at finding an original hit reality-comedy series of its own following its spring rebranding as television's "very funny" network. Outback Jack, its first attempt, had premiered to 2.1 million viewers in June 2004, while the more campy He's A Lady had debuted to 1.7 million viewers in October 2004. Previous to TBS's "very funny" rebranding, House Rules, a home renovation competition series, drew dismal ratings during its broadcast as part of the network's Fall 2003 primetime schedule. |
