    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In 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.
    • Goofs
      In the opening credits, the S.S. Minnow that is shown before the cruise, and after beaching on the island is different of the one shown during the storm. (No upper deck above the windows where the helm is, and the front of the cabin is straight, rather than pointed.)
    • 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 credits
      During 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 versions
      Colorized versions of the first season's black and white episodes have been broadcast on TBS, TNT, and MeTV, and Australia's Foxtel

      Edited into Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (1987)
