Two on a Raft

"Two on a Raft" is the premiere episode of the 1960s TV series Gilligan's Island. It first aired on September 26, 1964 on CBS.

Plot

Following a violent storm, the crew and passengers of the SS Minnow wake up to find that they have landed on an uncharted island. The captain, Jonas Grumby (commonly known as "Skipper") and his first mate Gilligan set sail on a raft to try to return to land, while the passengers stay on the island. However, a storm blows the crew back to the island, which they do not know is the island where they first landed. The passengers, meanwhile, do not know that they have returned. When both groups become aware that the other is on the island, they assume that the other is a group of headhunters. In the end, everyone gets trapped in a cave. Gilligan emerges dressed as a native and scares the rest of the characters away.
