I was just thinking the exact same thing. Gilligan's Island was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I'd finish my paper route, meet up with a friend who did his route & get chips, sandwiches, soda or something at the local deli. Whatever we were out doing that day, we'd almost always end up at my house to watch Gilligan before dinner. I can watch a rerun of that show & it's still better than most of what's on TV these days.     (R.I.P.)

Hate to hear it....I'm reminded of the time I met Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) at a book signing.   I could not repress my thoughts I've had since the onset of puberty and all I wanted to say was "well, after meeting you, I still can't decide who I'd rather do, you or Ginger".

poor little buddy.

He brought a lot of laughter to my life.

I still watch Gilligans Island reruns when I run across the tele.

RIP my friend.

[Plumcrazy]

That's a shame.

[TheGhost]

When I was little, I'd watch that show all the time at my Grandmas house.   RIP Gilligan.

I wanted to be Gilligan when I was a teen. Stranded on a tropical island with Mary Ann.

R.I.P. - I used to hurry home from school to watch the reruns all the time. Gilligan's Island was one of my favorite shows as a kid too. I think MaryAnn and Ginger are to only ones alive yet off the show.

The professor (Russell Johnson) is still alive.

Bon voyage, little buddy.

I wasn't sure. I had typed it out in my 1st post but I deleted it.

Anyone remember this Bob Denver Saturday morning kids show? ... "Far Out Space Nuts" that co-stared Chuck McCann & Honk the space alien.
It was one of my favorite Saturday morning tv shows.

Here's a little more Bob Denver tv history...

Bob Denver's first role came while he was attending Loyola University in Los Angeles. He reluctantly read for and got the part of a nervous seaman in "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial". Though he was, at first, petrified of being onstage, he had been bitten by the acting bug. He performed in many other college productions, even playing Falstaff in "Henry the Fourth, Part Two". After graduating, he considered becoming an attorney, but chose acting, deciding he would be happier. Before landing the role of Maynard G. Krebs in "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", he held a variety of jobs, including coach and teacher at a grammar school and postal clerk. He then got a screen test for the part of Maynard and, to his surprise, won the part. Four years later, he met with Sherwood Schwartz about a new series, "Gilligan's Island". After Gilligan's three-year run, he did a few other television shows, including "The Good Guys", "Dusty's Trail" (also created by Sherwood Schwartz and a western takeoff on "Gilligan"), and "Far Out Space Nuts"; he also performed in dinner theatre and replaced Woody Allen in the Broadway production, "Play it Again, Sam". He has starred in three "Gilligan's Island" movies, performed the voice of Gilligan in two "Gilligan" cartoons, and appeared as himself or Gilligan in various television shows. He lives in West Virginia with his wife Dreama and still does an occasional television role. In addition, he and his wife co-host an oldies radio show called "Weekend with Denver & Denver". In 1993, he published a book, "Gilligan, Maynard & Me".

Yep you sure are. 

I was born in '75 and my last name is Gilles.  Every time i had a job as a kid my boss would ask me if i was related to Doby.... i never knew what the hell he was talking about....  until there was a "bring me the head of doby gilles" special on TV in the 80's. then i figured it out.....

Gilligan's Island was only on for three years?

I was able to buy a Gilligan shirt off of his website last year, autographed "from Bob "Gilligan" Denver" to Monty" Looks like I need to take real good care of it now. RIP Gilligan
