In the opening theme of the sitcom Gilligan's Island, the seven castaways are stranded after a storm wrecks their small charter craft, which is known by what name?
Show answer
SS Minnow
The ship was named after Newton Minow, the then-chairman of the FCC who famously described television as a "vast wasteland." The vessel was intended for a simple "three-hour tour" before the storm blew it off course.
