OK, It's official: TV executives have completely lost their fuckin minds. TBS is launching a new reality series called “The Real Gilligan's Island”.

THE REAL GILLIGAN'S ISLAND is a new reality series based on the popular sitcom about seven stranded castaways.  The new show will feature a group of people who personify the original "Gilligan's Island": a real-life skipper, first mate, millionaire couple, movie star, Kansas farm girl and professor, who, as on the 1960's sitcom, will work together to try to get off the island. Episodes will be modeled after some of the situations that occurred in the original series.

I wish this was a joke, but it's for real. They are scheduled casting calls this week across the country, including two in Kansas to find that “Kansas farm girl”. People from Kansas are crazy. Good luck to them with that ;-)

This idea is just absolutely crazy. Knowing people in our country, it will totally do well. sigh.
