Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:
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. The television show spawned into the movies and eventually the seven castaways were rescued in "Rescue from Gilligan's Island" in 1978. Tina Louise, who played the part of the "movie star" was replaced by Judith Baldwin in the movie as Ginger Grant.
We used to chuckle that they could make so many things, but they couldn't make a raft or fix a hole in the boat, but for us, we enjoyed watching the crazy antics in the 60s. I'm curious, are you taking off your hat to hit me yet?
Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoyed the fond memories.
