I like the regular theme way better
However, I prefer the twilight zone original soundtrack
This version was probably too long for the regular series. I do find it interesting that, when enumerating the cast at the end, they individually refer to the Skipper, Gilligan and the Howells, while Ginger, Mary Ann and the Professor are not individually called out.
In the original series theme song, they went with “Gilligan, the Skipper too, the millionaire and his wife, the movie star, and the rest”, which was absolutely stupid as there were only two more people to list. They later changed it to “[…] the movie star, the Professor and Mary Ann”, which was better.
Which leads to the fun fact that Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells kept in touch for decades afterward, and they always signed their Christmas cards to each other as “the rest”.
Have you looked up all the Williams has done score for? It is incredibly diverse.
One of my favorite little bits of trivia for such a list is that it includes the NBC News theme.
And the Theme for the Olympics.
That horrible compared to the one I remember.
That is a VERY different feel. Smart decision to go the direction that they did.
This would have been so less memorable. Also, I wonder if there was any reason that they changed it from a “6 hour ride” to a “3 hour tour”
