In the original version of the Gilligan’s Island theme, what two castaways weren’t mentioned by name?

In the first-season version of the Gilligan's Island theme song, The Professor and Mary Ann were not mentioned by name. Instead, they were grouped together simply as "and the rest".

  • The lyrics change: During the second season, the lyrics and opening credits were officially updated to name "The Professor and Mary Ann" after star Bob Denver advocated for their inclusion.
