Gee -- I am not sure that's a compelling value, vis-a-vis streaming web-based re-runs of "Gilligan's Island" (free, of course!). In any event, here is a link to the sign-up screen, if you are so-inclined.

Thanks for the theme music. I'll have to show the minnows.

I personally prefer the second season's version better, (the professor and mary ann).

But it just goes to show you what kind of guy Bob Denver was to insist on the other actors getting their due in the theme music.
