Opinion/Connections: Describe which was better in your opinion and why. 2 points

In my opinion, The Hunter ( Gilligan Island ) was better, because it was very funny even though this show is really
old. I was more involved in watching one of the series and it was interesting for me to observe what Gilligan will do
while Jonathan was hunting him. In the Most Dangerous Game everything was tensely, but interesting as well.
