Below are two excerpts from an unsold pilot for a 1966 live-action Li’l Abner television show. The show was produced by Gilligan’s Island’s and Brady Bunch producer Sherwood Schwartz and starred Gilligan Island’s Bob Denver.

  1. That’s Robert Reed, not Bob Denver.

    According to IMDB, there was a one-shot TV show in 1967 with the cast shown (Robert Reed, Judy Canova, Jeannine Riley). Apparently Sherwood Schwartz had nothing to do with it; he isn’t in Li’l Abner’s IMDB credits, nor is Li’l Abner on Sherwood’s IMDB page.

  2. If you were Sherwood Schwartz, would you put YOUR name on it? Of course not! No law says a producer/writer has to claim credit, esp on a one-time failure.

  3. Well, this gave Robert Reed TWO reasons to hate Sherwood Schwartz…

  4. I clicked on them and got a message on both saying “Video is private”. Maybe for good reason.
