9. Gilligan.

Answer: Gilligan's Island

Another character with his name on the show, Gilligan starred in "Gilligan's Island." It makes you wonder why they would pack so many articles of clothing for their "three-hour tour."

"I Love Lucy" is maybe the most memorable show in this era, with Lucy, Ricky, Ethel, and Fred making some of the funniest shows ever.
