I was reading that there has never been a moment in time since the original run of Gilligan's Island ended in 1967 after 3 seasons that reruns of the show were not playing somewhere on the planet. Gilligan, Skipper, Even Thurston Howell III only got paid while they were filming original episodes, not in the off-season, not after the show ended. Everyone's favorite, Maryanne made 27 grand a year; Gilligan and the Skip made 54 g's. The old man that produced the show, Sherwood Schwartz still gets paid continuously every time its played....also the Brady Bunch.
He's dead now but they somehow still funnel the money to the afterlife.
