Here's the Unbelievable ACT Gilligan (Bob Denver) DID That FOREVER Changed Gilligan's Island!
Correction: According to Denver, he did not threaten to quit the show outright. He did request and require his billing be moved last or else....the suits said no but agreed to credit Dawn and Russell.

The one time that one of Gillian’s schemes didn’t backfire.
Very noble of Bob
@Repomeister Why so rude? Fans of Bob Denver don't consider it a waste of 6 minutes.
You never watch the show obvious.
🤣😂🤣😂😂
Bob Denver showed loyalty that is no longer seen in Hollywood. A great man.
Robert Starkey
To who ?
The people that were paying him to do what he was hired to do?
Or his friends?
Robin Hood Who? Denver’s fellow actors/actresses. He threatened to leave the show unless they rewrote the Opening Theme Song to include The Professor and Mary Ann. In today’s “Me” focused stars, this was unheard of. The almighty dollar wasn’t more important than the people he worked with. Dawn Wells was the only one smart enough to write residuals into her contract and being the show’s long rerun/syndication, her bank account has been well rewarded for her foresight.
... who deserves proper credit for his actions, instead of having them described as fictional actions by a fictional character.
Robert Starkey
You said that Bob showed loyalty....
But didn’t specify to whom.
So I asked.
Glad you like the show. Got my kids the 📀 DVD’s.
Have a good night
@@robinhood480 Had you even watched the video you'd know to whom he was referring to as being loyal but, you seem to just want to be an jerk. Good luck to your kids they're going to need it.
I never liked that they left out professor and Maryann. Bob was noble to stand up for it.
Liane Deangelo
The song was written and rewritten before Dawn and Russell were even on the cast.
Research it.
@@robinhood480 cool point. 👍
well I m glad you think so Liane Deangelo but I Don t know that I agree with you
As I recall that story, it was not known what Denver had done by the other cast members until decades after the show ended.
@@robinhood480 yes but they wanted to keep the song that way after Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells joined the cast. It was Bob Denver who insist that they were included in the song
In my day Bob would be called "a stand up guy." Good manners and integrity never go out of style.
Hey, are you related to the skipper, Alan Hale? He was a great guy. He had a
restaurant, folks would come visit freely with him. His dad Sr. did many, many movies.
@@freeagent8604 Senior and junior looked like twins. Senior stared opposite Errol Flynn in several movies. If I'm related I am not aware of it. I watched all the old movies and I would be in front of the television on Saturday morning at 5 am to watch OUR GANG. When Kennedy was assassinated his funeral was televised on a Saturday and there was no cartoons.
@@rickhale4348 Yes, I have seen Sr in many movies, including one with Laural and Hardy. He often played a sea farer.
Speaking of JFK, I understand that this clip @0.27 has the flag at half mast in the background marina. Not for sure I see it but it does appear there might be a flag hanging at half mast.
I liked when they added the professor and mary Ann. I hated it when their names weren't included. And it sounded better.
Dawn Halley
I like their character names added too but prefer the music of season one.
I agree. I always wondered why they weren't mentioned, and was much happier when they added "The Professor and Mary Ann."
I like it better when they leave their names out.
Bob Denver was a bigger man for not thinking about his own pocket and career over doing the right thing.
Congratulations, Rick on the 70k milestone. Onto 100k now!
115 K now
The Professor was a great straight man. With him acting so serious while being surrounded with all these comedians in ridiculous situations made the show even funnier. Comedy is always funnier with a great straight man, and Russel Johnson was fantastic. Mary Ann was the sweetest character and such a babe. Including these two names in the opening theme song was the right thing to do. Bob Denver was great for making this happen.
Russell Johnson is in so many older movies and TV shows. Great actor
So true, you need a straight man in an ensemble cast. I remember watching this as a kid, and noticing the changes, but had not ever really given it much thought. God damn, my respect for Bob Denver has increased by 1,000%.
Weren't the Professor and Skipper both playing the straight man? And Mary Ann playing the straight woman?
@@victorvisser403 johnson always played a bad guy in the westerns, a heavy it was called.
@@10HERBERT it's true, and he was a good one. I have seen him in gangster movies and sci-fi thrillers.
I enjoy watching Dobie Gillis with Bob Denver...he was a unique talent in an age of television where character actors reigned supreme
My thoughts as well 👍
GILLIS/ GILLIGAN...
fans were apt to watch...
"WORK!" - Maynard Krebs
@@tubularguynine
That's Maynard G. Krebs. The G stands for Walter, he was named after his favorite aunt. The G is silent.
LONG LIVE Maynard!
@@tommystyx I remember that show!
Bob Denver was, indeed, very noble for taking this stand. He took the high road for his fellow cast members.
Bob was a good man. Miss him.
Kind, honest, decent and humble... a national treasure
I miss him too, especially in this "all me" society!
The way I heard it was that the studio didnt want to make the change due to cost. His contract said that Bob being the star could say where his name went on the billing. So Bob said he wanted his name at the end of the credits which would have forced them to change it anyways so they did the right thing and included Mary Ann and the Prof. Bob was a stand-up guy whichever way it was.
That was in the TV-Movie about the show. Besides Bob getting this done for his friends and castmates, I loved seeing the recreation of the theme recording in the studio.
Rick, two suggestions: 1 - Is there any info about what they would have done had Tina not returned for an S4? 2 - How about an episode speculating on what happened to the Castaway Impostors? For example, I imagine Eva Grubb got exposed as a phony at some point.
That's what I've always heard too.
@@shoresean1237 I've always heard that Bob Denver offered to give up his top billing in order to have Russell's and Dawn's name added. And by the way, I first heard it BEFORE that movie about the show came on, so no, I didn't get it from there.
I've heard both versions, and they both seem equally probable. Either way, they were both clever tactics to force the show heads into doing the right thing.
That’s the story Bob kinda reluctantly told in several interviews I’ve seen with the cast and Mary Anne and The Professor. I believe his version.
Dawn Wells once told the story of how Russell Johnson would make light of the whole situation, he would have flowers sent to her and on the card it would say, "From 'The Rest'."
lol didn't know that, and I think it shows that Dawn was probably the reason for the stand Bob took, just like all the fan mail was for her, her co-workers felt the same way lol
Congratulations on 70k!
Glad Bob spoke up because there was no show without the supporting cast.
Well yes he did the right thing, oh and I think everyone liked Mary Ann more than ginger.
Ginger was too snobbish, both on screen and off. Tine Louise claimed that Gilligan's Island ruined her Broadway career which is why she is in none of the movies.
I liked ginger when i first watched it, but grew to like Mary Ann more.
@@highnoon2535 LOL all guys did.
@@larryj9560 Yeah, Remember the very first episode or was it the pilot episode, they had 2 completely different girls instead of Ginger and Mary Ann , but they didn't last long.
@@highnoon2535 that was the first I think. No the pilot
This world needs Bob Denver's integrity in today's society.
This is very interesting to learn about. It’s cool how he was able to get them to include Mary Ann and The Professor being said in the opening of the show. Thanks for the video Rick. Keep up the good work!
Some of today's actors would have insisted they be the only one mentioned in the song....or they would quit.
Captain Kirk comes to mind.
Excellent, informative video. Thank you!
As a teen during the original airing of GI, the thing among us boys was Ginger or Mary Ann. I always picked Mary Ann. Still do!
Mary Ann over Ginger, Genie over Samantha (but just barely), Ellie May over everyone.
My other crush was Jeannie. Still have a crush on both Maryann and Jeannie to this day.
Daphne or Velma.
Betty or Wilma.
@@dahawk8574 Betty, she has a cute laugh.
Great video Rick! I'm so glad you brought this noble act to the attention of your fans! Bob Denver was a great man! Keep on posting!
I met him in the 80’s . He was so cool, mellow, gentle. I shook his hand and he gave me that Gilligan smile under a full head of gray hair. He did the right thing.
Gutsy move for a young fella to stand up to the big wigs.
Good on him for sticking up for his friends, even though he had a nice car, a lot of people wouldn't have the courage to risk their career.
("Pick me", but almost in the spirit of your message, I want to say "Pick someone else".)
Great information, I always learn something new.
Bob Denver had been a teacher.
There were also many guests stars on
Gilligans... Kurt Russell played like a tarzan boy...lol
I say kudos to Bob Denver for standing up for Dawn wells & the professor! Your exactly right he didn't have to do that and unlike alot of actors and actresses this was a very UNSELFISH act on his part!! It shows that he had a very caring heart for others, and although it may had seemed trivial to others, it just shows his compassion for others, so I say congrats to him.for standing up for his fellow workers!!👍
Bob Denver was a man of moral character. He was also kind. In the 70's he was part of a show in Amarillo TX dinner theater. After the show he spent 4 hours signing autographs and taking pictures with everyone that came to see him. He was a warm and friendly man.
I love hearing stories about individuals in Hellywood (intentionally misspelled) who displayed integrity and compassion, rare qualities in that industry. Bravo and God bless you Bob Denver. Thank you for pointing that out Rick Nineg! God bless you too!
An uncle of mine who did stand-in work in the 60's and 70's told me stories about Bob Denver when I was young(50 now). He partied with Bob often and told me that Bob was a very humble, loyal, stand-up guy. By the time the show became popular, he had already been successful with Dobie Gillis. So, he showed humility by not letting that success change him as a humble, human being. God bless him. May he rest in peace.☺🙏👍
Congratulations, Rick! So happy for you!
I subscribed around 25.000. So congratulations on your 70.000 .very go videos. Especially when I watched all of these shows. Thank you Rick ✌️😎
Still watching Gilligan at 54 years of old age. Still crushin' on Maryann too.
Thanks for all of your wonderful. It always amazes me that you find so much information. I'm baffled as to how you do it 😁
I always looked up to Gilligan growing up. Pick me!!! Thank you for this!
I remember thinking that it was nice the professor and Mary Ann were added to the intro. Had no idea Bob Denver was at the bottom of it. I have new respect for Bob Denver. Thank you for this episode!
Very good video. Thank you for your hard work and outstanding effort Very interesting topic and very nice to see that Bob Denver took a stand for his fellow cast mates
My favorite show as a kid. I would drive my brother nuts because I would literally recite everyone's lines as the show went on. I could recall and repeat nearly any line of dialog from most of the shows. I was never a great student in school, memorizing multiplication tables. But I could recall the lines from just about any episode of Gilligan's Island. Great video and neat insights into the people. Keep up the great work!
I am very Happy to learn that Bob Denver stood up for his fellow Actor's Union Brother and Sister !
Hey Rick, congratulations on 70k subscribers. Great job! I do think it was very noble of Bob Denver to push for Maryann and the professor's names to be mentioned in the title song. The entire cast made the show a success and Bob was well aware of that. I grew up watching Gilligan's Island and it was one of my favorite shows!
This show is a part of my childhood. Our whole family loved Gilligan and we would watch it together every week. Remember when families used to watch shows together?
Rick, I always love everything you share. Thankyou for all you do. 🙂
🙏
Bravo Bob "Gilligan" Denver.
Congratulations to your 70.5 Subscribers!! I Love Your Channel 😍Keep Up The Good Work 🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎉🎈🎊🎆🎆🎆
the old saying stays firm, Learn something new everyday.
I think that was very nice of Denver to stand up for his cast mate's. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Rick!!! 70,000 subscribers, remember when it seemed to take forever to reach 10,000? Congratulations my friend.
Thank you for the heartwarming story of Bob Denver & the opening theme song, he was a great man. As for the giveaway, pick me! ☺
i always wondered about this. Glad to find out Bob stood up for them. thanks for video
I'm 64 and I'm thrilled that a young whippersnapper like you is into these nostalgic shows!
It's groovy!

They even hired a different singing group for the second and third season. The Eligibles were their name. The Wellingtons only did season one.

Yep
THE MOSQUITOES. That was the name The Wellingtons used when they appeared on the show.
@@louisborselio8608
Yes!
Rest in peace Dawn Wells Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island lots of people loved her very good actress and all her life she helped out needy children
I watched the show a lot, long before I started making my own videos, and I didn't imagine the backstage drama. It was easy comedy that a loner could relate to. Respect to Bob Denver. Thanks.
Congratulations on 70,000 subscribers!!!
He did the right thing.
He understood the challenge they would have as actors going for the next job. He was not threatened by them.
The best part of this is how the cast worked together. They seemed liked they genuinely cared for each other. Something everyone hopes would really happen if they were stuck on an island together.
I was just a tiny kid watching when the show was on. I remember us all in the living room watching and us kids singing along with the theme (I think every small kid did), so when they made that change we noticed it. We also noticed that MaryAnn and the Professor were ignored when we sang the first theme, and it stuck out like a sore thumb. I never knew it was was Bob Denver who inspired the change though. That's a classy guy !
Bob Denver was at a boat show in Atlanta years ago signing autographs and having his picture taken with fans. My friend goofed the timing of picture and Bob tapped me on the shoulder and said no no let's do another. He was so down to earth with everyone. I proudly display the autograph and picture with him.
Congratulations Rick on all the new subs.
Heard this story before and it made me think much more highly of Bob Denver and what a cool down to earth guy he really was.
Wow, I love once in a while wondering into your site as I'm 63 and watched just about every show you do stories on, SIMPLY AMAZING! No MIND BLOWING!
Keep up your Great work.
So glad that you enjoy my videos Dan!
The same here. I can definitely ditto that. The old shows were great. Don't like today's shows - too cheap and low quality.
@@Greye13 Were you a Golden Girls fan? I loved that show. When my 3 kids were growing up in the late 90s and 2000 they fell in love with the reruns. Eventually when they were teen agers going to high school they became In the closet Golden Girl fans, so as to not be made fun of. Ha ha ha ha
@@dansotelo228 I watched The Golden Girls on occasion, but mostly I watched shows like Taxi, Cheers, Green Acres, Bewitched, etc. I absolutely loved MASH, and still do. After the 80s I pretty much quit watching regular TV. As far as cable goes, I love the History Channel, The Discovery Channel, SCiFi Channel, and Turner Classic Movies. Don't much care for HBO or Showtime, etc. Back in the 70s, we used to sit down every Sunday evening and watch The Wide World of Disney on NBC. Good wholesome family movies. :) A winner every time. Don't at all like the Disney Channel that it is now.
@@Greye13 Yup, pretty much the same here. I'm sure you were a Johnny Carson regular. True story... One night in my teens (1975), I had the house to myself self and 4 of my friends came over with some beer and etc, to watch Johnny Carson. Of course, we had one friend who hated Johnny who was whining and complaining to watch something else. We all voted to watch Johnny and that was that..! He said "I hope something really bad happens so that TV will go dead". We just laughed and he had no choice but to sit down and shut it.
Just as Johnny's opening music started playing we heard a car with its engine and tires screaming down our winding road, !!!!AND BANG!!!! Our house just shook violently and the power went out. All you heard in the darkness was our friend laughing!
Turns out a car hit the power pole across the street at over 80 miles per hour instantly killing the driver. It was later determined the driver committed suicide.
Needless to say, we never again invited the one friend to join us to watch Johnny Carson.
Never heard this story before. My respect level for Denver just went up.
Geez, what did the theme change cost the producers? Kind of seemed like a no brainer to me. But thanks for making me appreciate Bob Denver so much more. I loved him already, tho.
I had noticed the lack of their names and wondered about that. I also noticed it when it changed. Glad he stood up for them.
Gilligan's Island was a big time favorite of mine way bake when... When just thinking about it makes me feel old. I never knew this story, but yes! That was a very nice thing he did to support his fellow stars of the show. Shows the spirit of a true friend.
Never knew Bob Denver was so humble. What a good heart ❤️
3:11 "Either you name everyone on the show [intro song] or you don't name anyone at all... [ OR ] I'm going to leave [the show] " - Bob Denver
I was like 4 years old and wondered why they needed to say “all the rest” for only two people.
Yeah... its was better after they changed it
I grew up watching the original broadcasts of the show and I noticed even then how MaryAnn and the Professor were left out and it had bothered me as well - and then, how all of a sudden they were included. I admire Bob Denver for standing up for his cast mates. It was very noble and honorable of him. I had the privilege of meeting him once, when I was in high school, when the show had already been off air for a few years. He was a very warm, welcoming, kind, and genuine man. Every bit the same sweet soul that his character Gilligan was. A truly good person.
He didn't have to do it. The fact that he did, and the risk that could have gone into doing so, shows what a good person he was.
Appreciate your vids. Used to watch Gilligan when they were new.
Always loved The show when I was a kid (56 now) and my children love it now, kind of cool how good fun shows hold the test of time. Cool videos love hearing the behind the scenes type stuff.
What an awesome thing to do, and YES I believe it made a big difference, bringing the cast more together as a family... kudos Bob..thanks for bringing this to people's attention...
Gilligan's Island never gets old for me. The episodes are goofy and great fun to watch. Second and third seasons are my favorite.
My favorite line...Professor:Ginger Ginger where do you keep your perfume? Ginger: behind my ear cantcha tell ?
Been a Bob Denver fan for over 60 years, Maynard G Krebs made me lmao.
WORK!!!!
I was 2-3 yrs old when GI started. I grew up on GI and by the 1980's I realized how important it was to me. I can recite every line from every episode, including the pilot. In fact, I can't get some lines out of my head . I use them often in normal conversation. Of course, no one knows wtf I'm talking about when I say stuff like Me, Myself and I or Things With Wings or Bingo, Bango, Bongo and Irving, or G131131, or my personal favorite; Pulu Ce' Bagoomba. Someone please shoot me... pleeeaaase!
It's always nice to meet a fellow weirdo and know you're not alone! The world needs a little more silliness and a lot more kindness. Pulu Ce' Bagoomba and a coconut cream pie to you, Little Buddy! xoxoxo

Oh , come on Gillian ! We haven’t got much time.
You guys are great 👍🏼
I'm the same way. I can say the line before the character says it😄
Anybody remember the car made of bamboo and coco nut trees driven by Gilligan?
@@dolphquick2686 I loved that bamboo car!! I think it might have been lost or destroyed, not sure though. I'm going to google it and see if I can track it down.
Bob was a warm , loving, kind gentleman. He lived in the next county over from me, in West Virginia. I was able to hang with him a few times, and yes, we smoked weed together, i hooked him up, that's how i met him. R.I.P
Bob GILLIGAN Denver .
Bob had a lot of courage. This is during a time where the "studio system" was in force. It was their way or the highway. If Bob's bluff failed you'd never see him again, on any screen.
Like Suzanne Sommers
I did not know this about Bob Denver. It certainly does fit the guy we knew back then. Thanks for this video.
Not noble, not humble but 'good man' doing what a 'good man' does. I always felt the in his essence, Bob Denver was a good man in life too; a high calling.
He was! A good hearted, talented and amazing person.
Thanks for this story, Rick. Had no idea Bob was such a thoughtful guy. Kudos to him.
I agree that Bob Denver did a noble thing, sticking up for his castmates by insisting they be included in the opening theme song.
"Tina Louise thought the show was about her."
LOL! I know that story but thought it was hilarious that you mentioned it.
I loved the show. I was fortunate to meet and speak with Dawn Wells in High Point, North Carolina! She was fantastic!
I posted this in a reply, but I hadn't known this story and I loved watching Gilligan's island as a kid in reruns. Did not know Bob Denver had balls of tungsten like that. I always noticed the difference in theme songs, but never knew how much Bob Denver was so awesome. My respect for him has grown by a 1,000% knowing this, what a stand up dude.
This goes to show how big his heart was they were a team a family and good for him doing something like that I always wonder about the introduction now I know ty for this R.I.P Bob
All actors, no matter what role they had in show, should be recognized.
I totally agree that it was very Noble of him to do that and awesome that he did do that! I also think that what was wonderful of him to do that it should also that he was a humble person even though he had hit it big. A lot of people don't realize that he had quite a bit of notoriety in his own right from other shows he had actually done previous to Gilligan Island. He actually had been on other shows before Gilligan's Island but became synonymous with Gilligan's Island and whenever you hear his name you only think of Gilligan's Island. Think of any of his previous shows you don't think of movies that he had been in, you don't even think of any voice over work yet actually done. He even had done I'm quite a bit of voiceover work for cartoons where he played Gilligan for Cameo spots and cartoons as Gilligan. In reality if he wanted to he really didn't have to work anymore for the rest of his life if he didn't want to he was pretty set but I think it's wonderful that he was still humble next person not to let his celebrity go to his head and say you know I'm just a big shot here my name should be first because it's the name on the show and no one knows who Marianne feceras and they're not important and they shouldn't even be mentioned at all whatsoever. Some people would have done that but he didn't and that's what makes him such a wonderful person that people want to know would like to know and when they do know them know him like him.
Dawn Wells is Ms. Nevada 1960. From Wells Fargo family. Even till this day she is so beautiful and a sweet as can be she's Breathtaking!
I think it was absolutely noble of Bob Denver to stick up for his fellow castaways--noble and classy.
I watched Gilligan's Island as a little kid back in the late 1970s and noticed that Professor and Mary Ann were added to the theme song. I never knew why but remember thinking that I was glad they did.
Great job Rick!
Gilligan's island is the only song i memorized as a kid and still remember :) i loved this show so much i own the box set of seasons and go back now and then and watch them.
He sure did do the right thing. That was very brave of him and downright decent. Thanks for sharing this video.
Of course he was right!... I wondered the same thing when the show debuted and was happy they changed it the second season... BUt I had no idea the story behind it..thanks for telling it..much appreciated.
It was absolutely noble of Mr. Bob Denver to have pushed the TV executive's to include "the professor & Marry Anne..." towards the end of the theme song. And anyways it was nicely blended in afterwards! And of yes "PICK ME"! 😀
This is one of the many things I love about Bob Denver.
From Wikipedia: 'In 1971, Denver was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in his car and pleaded no contest for a reduced sentence of a $250 fine.[3]In 1998, he was arrested for marijuana delivered to his home, originally saying that the delivery came from Dawn Wells who played Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island, but he later refused to name her in court, testifying that "some crazy fan must have sent it." He pleaded no contest and received six months probation.'
Gilligan absolutely did the right thing! Everybody deserved recognition!
70,000! Way to go, Rick!
Thanks for doing these videos on these timeless
shows. Pickme!
Good luck to the one that wins the DVD and so sorry for “all the rest.” 😂
Shows that he was a real person with feelings for the others, not just thinking of himself as so many stars of today seem to be...
Awesome channel! I'm very happy to subscribe! 😁
