The cast of 'Gilligan's Island'
Television has produced thousands upon thousands of classic sitcoms, but it may be hard to find one more endearing, or enduring than Gilligan’s Island. Beginning in 1964, the show had a three-season run before being spun off into a series of post-cancelation specials that extended the series franchise until 1981. Yet, despite its popularity, the show has evaded the age of reboots and remakes, but that’s not for lack of trying.

Not only does the plaintiff have no rights in an unauthorized work based on the Gilligan property, the project he’s suing over never went forward.
