If you think that was depressing, you should have heard Yogi Bear talk about earthquake safety! My grandparents actually took me to a Los Angeles museum that had this when I was 10 years old. The music makes me think Bill and Joe heard The Pointer Sisters' "Neutron Dance" on the radio and said, "do that but different enough not to get sued."
There almost was a fourth season of Gilligan's Island … but it would have come at the expense of more seasons of Gunsmoke. That set off an outcry from members of Congress that reversed that decision. When they made the last episode, they probably had no idea it would be their last.
I'm familiar with the story of the CBS President's wife being a huge GUNSMOKE fan which led to the 4th season renewal of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND being cancelled, but members of Congress were also in the mix? That's news to me!
The Castaways just couldn't ever seem to catch a break! Everyone wanted them left stranded, haha!
CHEERS!
