During the first season of Gilligan's Island, the names of the Professor and Mary Ann were not included in the theme song, but were instead referred to as what?

After the first season, Bob Denver - who played Gilligan - threatened to not let the studio executives use his name in the credits unless they paid for a complete reshooting and rescoring of the theme song so that the characters played by Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells received full credit. What a stand-up guy!
