I was always convinced that Gilligan's Island started with a few Hollywood execs asking each other: "Who would you rather be stranded on a deserted island with, Dorothy or Marilyn?"
Then someone said, "Both!"
Then someone else said, "I'd want to be stranded with Einstein. I just think he's really interesting."
Then someone else said, "The Rockefellers, because you could get in really good with them, and then when you're rescued, they'd probably totally hook you up."
Then someone else said, "No, no... Abbott and Costello. That would just be funny."
Then someone else said, "Imagine all of them together. Ha ha! Dorothy, Marilyn, Einstein, the Rockefellers, and Abbott & Costello! Ha ha ha, that would be--"
Then they all looked at each other and went, "Heeeeeyyyyy.....!!!"
Is Gilligan the Devil?
Years ago, CBS had a popular little series called "Gilligan's Island". There is, however, a dark secret about this "comedy" you may never have realized. The island is a direct representation of Hell.
Nobody on the island wants to be there, yet none are able to leave. Each one of the characters represents one of the 7 deadly sins:
Ginger represents LUST - she wears skimpy outfits, is obsessed with her looks, and is a borderline nymphomaniac.
Mary Ann represents ENVY - she is jealous of Ginger's beauty.
The Professor represents PRIDE - he is an annoying know-it-all.
Mr. Howell represents GREED - no explanation needed.
Mrs. Howell represents SLOTH - she has never lifted a finger to help on any of their escape plans.
The Skipper represents two sins: GLUTTONY - again, no explanation needed and ANGER - he violently hits Gilligan on each show.
This leaves Gilligan. Gilligan is the person who put them there. He prevents them from leaving by foiling all of their escape plots. Also, it is HIS island. Therefore, Gilligan is SATAN.
Crazy? He does wear red in every episode.

That was entertaining to read.
Great post. I agree with you. There's also a theory that each castaway represented the seven deadly sins (http://www.gilligansisle.com/sins.html):
