Ran out of episodes of Gilligan's Island so I figured why not watch the cartoon version? All the characters have *completely different* personalities than they had on the live action show. And the voice actors seem to just be reading lines alone in a studio and later all the different actors were spliced together. There's no real interaction between characters and the line reading is so lifeless.

#TodayILearned that, after a 1978 reunion movie was watched by WAY more people than expected (literally one out of every three Americans who even owned a TV), NBC pushed Sherwood Schwartz hard to do a reboot of #GilligansIsland. He instead pitched an anthology show in which the castaways run a resort and there are different guest stars each week, like "The Love Boat," but the 1979 pilot tanked and it was never brought to series.
