We've heard the theme song's swan song |
 | | "Theme songs are not a top priority for people" in television, says Harbert, the former president of NBC Studios and chairman of ABC Entertainment. |
 | | That song, which served to introduce the cast ("With Gilligan, the skipper too, the millionaire and his wife ") and outline the premise of the original Gilligan's Island back in the mid-1960s, is being updated for the new reality show by Grammy-nominated recording artists Bowling for Soup. |
 | | The truth, he says, is that the memo said: "No more theme songs unless you really work on it and come up with something interesting and new and appealing." The unless part, he complains, is never remembered. |
