TBS is giving up some details about their new reality show "The Real Gilligan's Island." The network released a press release recently that answers any questions you may have about the series. What kind of guide would I be if I didn't share the details with you? The show premieres Tuesday, Nov. 30th at 8 pm (ET).
Information from the official press release:
"The Real Gilligan's Island," which was cast from a nationwide search, features two real-life skippers, two first mates, two millionaire couples, two movie stars, two Midwest farm girls and two professors. The castaways must work together, as the original castaways did in the 1960s sitcom, to get off the island. Each of the castaways competes against his/her character counterpart for a spot in the final cast of seven characters.

The Gilligans
Chris O'Malley is 20 years old and works at a marina while attending the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Friends in his hometown of Boston have called him Gilligan for years because of his clumsy, easygoing and accident-prone nature. He once crashed a million-dollar boat into another million-dollar boat because he was distracted by a pretty girl.
Mark Groesbeck, a.k.a. "Gooner," is 31 years old from Weedsport, N.Y. and is the ultimate goofball. Standing 6'7" tall, he sees the humor in everything and does not take life too seriously. He enjoys spending time training his dog and is very proud of finding a wife who actually puts up with him.
