- TriviaIn the first-season opening credits, Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells were relegated to being simply "the rest," allegedly due to Tina Louise's insistence that no one be listed after her in the opening credits . That changed in the second season when Bob Denver demanded that they be given an equal share in the credits, thus changing the lyrics to "The Professor and Mary Ann". Sherwood Schwartz, who composed both themes, has said it didn't occur to him the Professor and Mary Ann would turn into prominent characters.
- GoofsOn a number of occasions, the castaways encounter people, whether other castaways or fugitives in hiding, who have been on the island for 10 years or more, prior to the arrival of the Minnow (Wrongway Feldman, Dubov the painter, and the jungle boy). All these characters regard themselves each as being the only person on the island. How big is this island that all these people could exist there so long and never know about each other?
- Quotes
Gilligan: Hiya, Professor. What are you doing?
Professor Roy Hinkley: I'm making notes for a book. It's to be a chronicle of our adventures on the island... I think it's a book people will want to buy, don't you?
Gilligan: Sure, I'll buy one. I'm dying to find out what happens to us.
- Crazy creditsDuring the first season's opening credits, neither The Professor (Russell Johnson) nor Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) received an on screen billing, nor were they referred to in the theme song. They were just referred to as "...and the rest." For seasons two and three, they were added at the request of star Bob Denver, who thought it was stupid to leave out the two actors just to shorten the introductory song by a few notes.
- Alternate versionsColorized versions of the first season's black and white episodes have been broadcast on TBS, TNT, and MeTV, and Australia's Foxtel
- ConnectionsEdited into Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (1987)
Featured review
This has got to be one of the campiest shows of all time. When you look at all this show you see a stereotype of the different types of people who make up our society. You have the working guys (Skipper and Gilligan), the intellectual (the Professor), the sex pot (Ginger), the sweet girl (Mary-Ann) and the upper crust capitalists (the Howells). Too bad this show didn't last another season. I would have loved to have seen them do a series finale instead of the horrid reunion movies. Maybe if they did it that way we could have gotten another season where Mr. Howell builds a resort on the island and Gilligan was the jack of all trades that really kept things rolling.
Also, the biggest question of all, Ginger or Mary-Ann?
