Well, in their original runs Gilligan only went 3, while AITF went 9 and Murphy Brown went 10. And while I'd agree that GI was certainly more silly than anything else, I despised AITF and Murphy Brown and never considered either intellectually stimulating. They both were too preachy for my tastes. But to each his own.
