Here’s my Gilligan’s Island conspiracy theory…
In the year leading up to the fateful boat trip, the professor had developed an amazing new battery that would last forever; never needing replacement or recharging. His invention would certainly revolutionize the world’s energy supply. Fearing the loss of their perpetual revenue source, the big battery cartel plotted an evil plan to keep the professor’s invention from ever being introduced to the world. First, they lured the professor onto the three-hour tour by sending him a free ticket. Then, they sabotaged the SS Minnow so that it was doomed to crash during the tour, thus stranding the professor and six others on an uncharted desert island. Since he was not comfortable about leaving his invention at his lab, the professor, took the prototype with him on the boat tour. After being stranded on the island, he used the amazing battery to power the portable radio for several years.
