A classic TV sitcom almost had a terrible, terrible theme song — take a look at the opening credits from the unaired pilot episode of “Gilligan’s Island”:

Also note the mention of two secretaries. Apparently, instead of Ginger and Mary Ann, you had, in effect, two Mary Anns.

    I should like to offer my most humble salutations and felicitations on this festal day of St. Valentine. I have the highest regard for our community, the “Methoblog” and wish we could make acquaintance under more auspicious circumstances as I am sure that these acquaintances may yet become a valuable and enriching friendship as we exhort and instruct each other to be conformed in the image of Christ.

    I remain God’s most humble servant,

    Wow, that is truly awful. :shock: Makes me think of Disney’s Tiki Room theme song.

    The weather is bad. The weather is grand. The tourists are on Gilligan’s Isle! Ouch. I’m glad we were able to sit right down and hear a tale. A tale of a fateful trip. That started from a tropic port aboard a tiny ship.
