When did Gilligan’s Island air?

The show originally aired on CBS from September 26, 1964, to April 17, 1967. It had a total of 98 episodes across three seasons, and it originally aired on Saturdays, before moving to Thursdays in season two and Mondays in season three. It was canceled after three seasons to allow the long-running TV show Gunsmoke (1955–75) to air in a one-hour slot.
