Interesting Gilligan trivia... 1. The first years episodes did not mention the Professor or Mary Ann in the theme song. It was only after actor Bob Denver (Gilligan) insisted that all the cast members be mentioned in the theme song that the Professor and Mary Ann got were mentioned in the theme song starting season two. 2. 22 seconds into the opening credits of first-season episodes of Gilligans Island, the U.S. Flag can be seen flying at half-staff off in the distance. This is because the shows pilot episode finished filming on November 22, 1963 — the same day President Kennedy was assassinated. https://youtube/watch?v=cfR7qxtgCgY#t=10
