14. Gilligan Got “The Rest” a Credit
It was revealed during the special Surviving Gilligan’s Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest Three Hour Tour in History that it was Bob Denver who advocated for the proper crediting of the Professor and Mary Ann. During season one, they were treated like second-class extras, namelessly tacked on as an afterthought with an “and the rest” in the opening theme song. An outrage! Gilligan himself threw down an ultimatum saying if his co-stars didn’t get a credit, then neither would he. Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells have been grateful ever since.
