Looks like a dream place to get lost

They couldn’t write it bigger? Couldn’t fit it in their schedule?

Wilson!!!

Why did you guys get them out of this paradise?

A ver se volvió real un chiste de náufragos jisvagoimperial

I’m so jealous. I want to be lost on an island in the pacific. Minus the bugs.

Why would you want to leave?

How did they end up on an island 🏝️ I don't see a ⛵

Wilson!!!!!

즐거웠을거같은데 경치도좋구만 ㅋㅋ

So it looked like there was a house on the Island sos

WilliamdeVry1 I would have stayed

Thus ends their three hour cruise...a three hour cruise. 🤗

They found Gillian and the gang!

WilliamdeVry1 The comments with the article were really funny

Wow 😮

They get saved only to come home, contract COVID-19, suffer then die.

“WILSON!!!”

Gilligan and the Skipper did that every day for like 5 years and no one came.

Millennials will do anything for attention -Donnie

Wilson

Skipper should have thought of that ...

WHY?

They will resume their careers as New Yorker cartoon characters.

Capitalize it next time

Where's Wilson?

DalrymplePamala Why would they want to be rescued?

LeilaF99485628 Was it Gilligan, the Skipper and Mrs. Howell?

Hire him instead of David Muir !He is so pro trump he sweats orange .

Should’ve erased it, and write ‘THAT’s OK I’LL JUST WAIT’

Not sure who is worse than Kids is Grown Ups that supposed to know Better why are they out There in the First Place Come On Jesus lol Pray

mcharlesworth7 What happened to Ginger,Maryann and Mr and Mrs Howell?

YY5CAV Parece de película.

somewhere...wilson is sighing

Ok but with the way things are ... can I please get dropped off there with a friend for about 2 weeks tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gee, that still works?

It made me think of some sort of Robinson Crusoes, but, nahh, they were missing for 3 days only. It's also disappointing the fact that they had to explain the meaning of S.O.S., doing it incomplete. Intentional misinformation? 🐃💩

gilligan's island?

Tenias todo y lo despreciaste 🤦🏻

Maybe the US should write a huge SOS and pray for help from our allies against trump? VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

I've seen this one - he gets saved in the end and meets his new girlfriend as he avoids arrest for stealing her mail

SaRaAshcraft good lord why did you tell them where you are?

Nice to see it worked for them.

Should have stayed there!

Gilligan, the professor and Mr. Howell.

Happy they are rescued...but not much of a plot for a tv series

Please rescue me to that Island.
