I think I watched a few episodes when I was little. All I remember is the theme song-thingy though. 😕

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.

The ship ran aground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle,
With Gilligan,
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star,
The Professor and Mary are,
Here on Gilligan's Isle.

Let me tell you little strory, 'bout a man named Jed.
Poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.

Then one day, when he was shooting at some food!
When up from the ground came a bubblin' crude...

Oil that is... Texas Tea.

Well the next thing you know old Jed's a millionair
Kin folk said, "Jed, move away from there!"

Said California is the place you aught to be...
So they packed up the bags, and they moved to Beverly....

Hills that is, Tennis courts, and movie stars.

It's the Beverly Hill Billies!

(That is from memory... I think I hit it all.)

Correction: I think that should be:
Oil that is, Black Gold, Texas Tea.
