    Farewell Bob.

    Is he the last? I know the skipper has passed. I'd have to say the millionaire and his wife too. Not sure about the professor, Ginger, and Mary Ann.

    I think he was busted for dope when he was around 55. I had no idea he was that old.


    God, what guy did not want to be in a Mary Ann Sandwich with some Ginger?

    It's amazing and timeless. My son, who is 13, loves Gilligan's Island. It doesn't matter if it is the B & W or color versions. I still after all these years still enjoy watching them myself. Once in awhile I see one that I haven't seen yet. Most of the time I have seen it 5 or 6 times but they still as funny as the first time I saw it.

    Dawn Wells 66, Tina Louise 71 and Russell Johnson 80 are all alive and kicking.

    Even creator Sherwood Schwartz 88 is still going.

    Sad about Bob. One of the first shows I can remember when it was new...Right up there with the Flintstones.
    Is this a Fabreze moment? C.Y.D. I'm voting white elephant. 2¢.

    Do you all remember the Gilligan's Island cartoon or when they jumped the shark and had the return to Gilligan's Island?

    Anybody who remembers Dobie Gillis would know, work........WORK!!!!Dobie Gillis was a "typical" American teenager, with three
    primary interests in life: Beautiful women, fancy cars,
    and money. Unfortunately he was the son of a grocer and
    not the most attractive of boys, which put a certain crimp
    in his aspirations. Dobie and his beatnik buddy Maynard,
    to who work was a dirty word, did their best to get by with
    a minimum of effort.
    Dobie had two real nemeses in life.
    The first was intelligent but unattractive Zelda Gilroy,
    who was constantly trying to get herself married to Dobie.
    The second, through most of the series, was millionaire
    Chatsworth Osborne, Jr., a spoiled young man who flaunted
    his social status, not to mention his money, to snare the
    attractive girls who eluded Dobie.

    Wow! You must be at least as old as Giligan to know that. How old was he when he croaked?

    Another sad sad day for a family who has seen so much sorrow in recent years, Bob ( Gilligan ) Denver dies at age of 70,Oh I can remember running home after school to adjust the uhf converter and rabbit ears hoping to get a good enough picture to see the line-up of Gilligans Island, Bat Man & Robin and then Ultra man.Just hearing of his untimely passing takes me back in time. No, Bob was not the great singer and in hindsight wasn't even a very good actor.He was a mild mannered comedic man, who loved the great outdoors. A trait which ran through the blood of his family, Bob lived out the end of his life in the beautiful state of West Virginia, a state that John found so beautiful that he wrote about it in a song named Almost Heavan West Virginia.Did these two guys define an era or what? It's so sad that they are both gone now, the world will never be the same. JMHO
