@Pretzel Hmmmm. To each his own. I didn't like the original theme song, and Selleck does a lot of breaking the fourth wall, hamming it up, etc., but I wouldn't put it in the category of Irwin Allen fare.
Do any of the eight shows of that season stand out as particularly bad?

I used to watch that, when I lived in Aberdeen, in the '80s. Loved it. Almost nobody in Scotland even remembers it.

@approachingmyexpirationdate Not a permanent change, though; from the Wikipedia article:
The original name is definitely used in later seasons.
The lead character's surname was changed from "Hinkley" to "Hanley" for the latter part of the first season, immediately after President Ronald Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. on March 30, 1981. The character's name was reverted to "Hinkley" after a few months had passed.
The original name is definitely used in later seasons.
