I was never a regular viewer of "Gilligan's Island." But it used to come on either right before or right after something I watched. It aired on WGN-Channel 9. Later it moved to WFLD-Channel 32, which was obsessed with making sure all references to "next week's episode" were muted on shows that...

Not everyone feels the same way about that stuff, some understand historical context, some aren't interested one way or another, but corporations have to assume viewers...

Is this real, or some You Tube creation? Reason I ask is -- I know for a long time certain Hanna-Barbera properties -- Flintstones, Jetsons, Huck/Yogi and company, Magilla/Potamus -- were still with Columbia Pictures Television as late as the early 1980s. (IIRC Flintstones and Jetsons were...
