I was wondering about him earlier this week. I watched him on a season 1 episode of The Adventures of Superman. (The Run Away Robot)

How many remember the original pilot theme song?

Do not think it woudl have made it with out the change.

thank you for confirmation of what I suspected yesterday
I heard GP talking about this on the radio and then said that they're all dead now. I said back to the radio (yeah I'm that guy) "NO! The girls are still alive!" (meaning the good looking ones. I pretty much figured lovie was pushin up daisies for a while now)

Why not both?

Ginger when I was younger.

As I got older and started really meeting girls, I noticed my affinity for the girl next door type.

Agreed. For an old lady she still looks good.

Wow. I had never heard that one.

Just as well... it was bad. Way too long (or seemed like it.)

Here's the one we all know and love...

Interesting tidbit about this song. It's musical meter is the same as that for two other songs:
1. Amazing Grace
2. I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing

That means you can sing the lyrics of one song over the melody of the other.

Amazing Grace sung to Gilligan's Isle or the Coke song
Gilligan sung to AG or the Coke song
Coke song sung to AG or Gilligan

were the lyrics changed FROM, "and the rest," TO, "the professor and mary ann," or the other way around?
