Someone's going to get hit by a coconut.

Gilligan's Island is like comfort food. It's delicious to watch, and we already know we're going to like it before it starts.  

It doesn't matter if we can always predict the ending; the castaways have become like friends to us over the years. Just like our friends in real life, we always know what they're going to do next.

So, in case you've never seen an episode of the sitcom, or if you live on a different planet, here are 21 things that happen on every episode of Gilligan's Island.

1. Gilligan and the Skipper go fishing at the lagoon.

2. Gillian and the Skipper find something that threatens their existence.

3. If it's not that, a visitor comes to the island under suspicious circumstances instead.

4. Someone is riding the bamboo bike at the camp.
