is Gilligan's Island next....

Last night I noticed CBS was running adverts for it's upcoming "The Defenders" series. Don't get me wrong, I like Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi? well, he's sort of likeable. But why in the heec put together a series that looks like a Fox network reject....and give it the name used by one of the most revered lawyer shows your (CBS's) network, ever produced?

THEN, tonight I see adverts for a resurrected "Hawaii 5-0" series. Actually, that one looks okay, IN SPITE OF THE FACT it appears to have only the name of the state in common with the old series. (No idea who is in that upcoming series.)

SOOOO, CBS, how long can we expect to wait before you bring back "Gilligan, THE Skipper too, The Millionare....and his wife....." well, if you've seen the original.

To sort of "tie this up" IF, CBS was crazy enough to bring back Gilligan's Island....who would you cast in which parts? The folks chosen (they don't have to be professional actors) SHOULD resemble the original cast members, or have jobs that would make them "modern day counterparts" to the characters. Example: if an actor wasn't chosen, a real life millionare should be nominated to play Mr. Howell....say, Donald Trump, with maybe Joan Rivers as Mrs. Howell?

Amen.

I hear they're doing an A-Team movie.

Gilligan's Island is the only thing that could be worse.

and the professor.

I heard of a new show coming out.
It is the story of a lovely lady who was bring up three very lovely girls. All of them had hair gold, just like...

You guys are living in complete denial if you think there WON'T be a Gilligan's Island remake within the next five years.

Ms Hannigan for Mary Ann, Keep Kari for Ginger.

Ms Howell

I don't understand how the berkeley Mr. T doesn't get cast as Mr. T when he's still alive and looks exactly the same! His WoW commercials were hilarious too, so he would have actually made the remake enjoyable.

judging by the clips rampage jackson can act a little, Mr T would just simply be menacing - which would have been fine by me, especially as I hate soft-gay porn actors, I mean that stupid fight series that all the kids watch nowadays.

Kari is awesome, but I have to admit, I sure enjoyed Jessi on the show....

Jay Barchel as Gilligan John Goodman as Skipper Bill Nuy as the Professor Donald Trump as Mr. Howell Meryl Streep as Mrs. Howell Laura Prepon as Ginger and finally Danica Patrick as Marianne

Danica has Marianne hair but skews Ginger. Yeah. Definitely Ginger.

Steve Carell as the professor, although Bill Nye is hard to beat.

Ooh, I vote for stranding Danica on an uncharted isle. Oh wait, talking about a tv show - nevermind.

But who will pay the Mosquitos?

Bingo, Bango, Bongo and Irving are awesome.

Can I be stranded with her?

Interesting cast choices....esp. Ms. Hannigan for Marianne. Unfortunately, she's already working on another CBS show.

I also think John Goodman as the skipper...is excellent.

The guy who co- starred with Jack Black in the movie Year One as Gilligan.

In reply to driver109x:

Michael Cera as Gilligan, yes

As far as Brady Bunch, it was already done in '91 "Step by Step"
