2. Diver Dan theme song was aas catchy as Gilligan's

They showed DD on Frazier Thomas's after-school show in Chicago when I was a kid. Great stuff!

5. While rehearsing, R.J. kept riffing on the theme song.

"In the dumpster behind the grocery store...
that's where you'll find Diver Dan!"

and about 40 others, unfortunately none of which got caught on tape.

Underwater adventures, ahoy!
And, once exposed, who can forget...



Baron Barracuda? Miss Minerva? Triggerfish?
