Some say that this is most popular of all television theme songs. One version actually doesn't have 'the professor and Mary Ann' only 'and the rest'. Actually, Gilligan was the one who encouraged the last two faces to be added to the opening credits.
At the end of the show, the lyrics are changed to 'join us here each week my friends, you're sure to get a smile'. Yes, we did smile, for three seasons. We watched week after week as they were stuck on this island.
The show was filmed in Hawaii and you can actually take a tour on Oahu, but it's only a two hour tour.

Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoyed the fond memories.
