Some things should be sacred.

Sacred, I say.

TBS is casting for a new reality series, based on Gilligan's Island. They claim to be looking for "real life versions" of the characters from the original show, so if you're a real life skipper or professor, you can apply.

They also link to the eligibility requirements for taking part in the show. Some aren't too surprising: no convictions for anything worse than a minor traffic violation, and you have to reveal whether you've been on any other reality show. My favorite requirement: "Applicants may not presently be a candidate for any type of political office ('Candidate') and may not become a Candidate from the time the application is submitted until one (1) year after first broadcast of the last episode of the Program in which they appear." So, alas, we won't be treated to George Bush as Gilligan. At least, not on this show.

Filming is this fall, so I'd guess the show will air over the winter.
