Gilligan was classic comedy, and the best ever.
Lost should have been better. It began with at least one writer pursuing a "Tempest" scenario more like the monster from the id in the Leslie Nielson sci-fi film, but then it quite obviously got mired down by too many writers doing what amounted to a "round robin", and "round robin) always results in crap.
The Prisoner was a bit too Hollywood formula and cliché. You'd have to be on serious drugs to watch more than a few minutes of it.
There was a pilot TV film with Lloyd Bridges in another scenario that held great promise, but it was never pursued. The initial pilot film (Lost Flight) was exceptionally good.
