Composed by George Wyle, Sherwood Schwartz, and Sherwood Schwartzf. Arranged by Warren J. Wernick. Contemporary. Score and parts. 10 pages. Warren J Wernick #5709951. Published by Warren J Wernick (A0.948758).Gilligan's Island is an American sitcom created and produced by Sherwood Schwartz.
The series followed the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive on an island on which they had been shipwrecked. Most episodes revolve around the dissimilar castaways' conflicts and their unsuccessful attempts, for whose failure Gilligan was frequently responsible, to escape their plight.
Sherwood Schwartz not only created and produced Gilligan’s Island but he wrote the famous "ear-worm" theme song as well. One can argue that the demonstrative and jaunty theme song now precedes the show itself in terms of popularity. It is the theme song that lays out the premise of the show perfectly: Five passengers set sail from Hawaii aboard the S.S. Minnow, crewed by the quick-tempered Skipper Jonas Grumby and enthusiastic screw-up Gilligan. When a storm shipwrecks them on a deserted island, what was supposed to be a three-hour tour turns into a three-year limbo, the passengers forever on the verge of escape but never quite succeeding.
For those who remember, this little novelty cannot fail to please performers and audiences alike.
