The special sauce of Gilligan's Island was the different personalities that were all stranded together on the island. How many total castaways were there?

You had Gilligan and the Skipper, of course. There was also the professor, the millionaire and his wife, as well as Ginger and Mary Ann. Only 4 of the characters featured in the pilot went on the main series, with 3 of them being swapped out. Because of that, the original pilot didn't actually air until 1993.
