10 Terrible Cartoons and Shows That Went Sci-Fi (For No Discernable Reason)



Hinkley, after years of inventing coconut radios and other pieces of useless island technology, has created what the residents of Gilligan's Island so desperately needed: salvation in the form of a fully functional spacecraft, able to fly them off the island. But, hey, if it's capable of interstellar travel, why not fly around the universe a bit before returning to the comforts of civilization -- what can go wrong? Always tempting fate, the Skipper failed to do the one thing that he should have learned a long time ago: tie up and gag Gilligan, then throw him into a barrel until the trip is over. So thanks to his lack of foresight, and Gilligan's trademark assholery, everyone gets stranded again, this time on a planet light years away from Earth. Sadly, the first episode didn't consist of the crew going into a blind rage and ripping Gilligan limb from limb, so we were forced to endure 13 episodes of Filmation's penchant for overusing the same character animations and backgrounds throughout the one season.
