[net.tv] Gilligan's Island

Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale
the tale of a fateful trip
that started from this tropic port
aboard this tiny ship

The mate was a mighty sailin' man
the skipper, brave and sure
five passengers set sail that day
for a three-hour tour
a three-hour tour

<flash!>

The weather started getting rough
the tiny ship was tossed
if not for the courage of the fearless crew
the "Minnow" would be lost
the "Minnow" would be lost

The ship's aground on the shore of this
uncharted desert isle
with Gilligan
the Skipper, too
the millionaire
and his wife
the movie star
the Professor and Mary Ann	||		and the rest
here on Gilligan's Isle!	||		are here on Gilligan's Isle!


Gilligan -- Bob Denver
Skipper -- Alan Hale
Thurston Howell III -- Jim "Mr. Magoo" Backus
"Lovey" Howell -- Natalie Schaffer (sp?)
Ginger Grant -- Tina Louise
Professor -- Russell Johnson
Mary Ann -- ??


Now this is the tale of our castaways
they're here for a long, long time
they'll have to make the best of things
it's an uphill climb

No phone -- no lights -- no motorcars
not a single luxury
like Robinson Crusoe
it's primitive as can be

So join us here each week my friends
you're sure to get a smile
from seven stranded castaways
here on Gilligan's Isle!


Can anyone provide the full names of each of the characters, and the name of
the actress who played Mary Ann?  The names are told in the episode where they
think one of their number might be a murderer, so they re-enact the crime...


Oh, the wonders of after-school syndicated shows...
