One of TV's Most Beloved Shows Never Aired Its Pilot for Nearly 30 Years
While most pilot episodes become the first things TV audiences watch, the pilot of the sitcom Gilligan’s Island got quickly locked into a vault.
In the television industry, the pilot episode serves as a proof of concept to demonstrate a show’s premise, tone, and characters to network executives and potential investors.
The show’s original pilot, titled “Marooned,” was shot and used to sell the series to CBS in 1963, but it was then locked away in a vault, unseen by the public for almost three decades.
The author summarizes: Classic sitcom hid its pilot.
