This Exists: Gilligan’s Planet
YouTube can be a complete nostalgia trap. I went on it last night looking for a Q-Bert commercial and became distracted for roughly a half hour as I followed recommendations in the right column. I eventually ended up on this bizarre cartoon from the very early 80s: Gilligan’s Planet. Apparently the premise is that while the Professor was unable to build a raft to get the Castaways off the island he was somehow able to build a spaceship (coconut milk as an energy source?) that rocketed them into space resulting in a crash landing on a faraway planet.
