O man.......To Bad......................

[ZAPPER]

Makes me feel old and depressed, my past keeps getting further away.

I can't believe I used to watch that show when I was a kid! Later, when I was able to see some old Laurel & Hardy films, it was apparent how much Gilligan and the Skipper had borrowed from them...

Sad to hear that!

I watched the show while growing up ...



I just read this in the news paper today at work over lunch.
Actually, after lunch, but I sat down to give my respects
and convesate w/ others around me on some fond memories.

To date, the big blue ocean sky:
** both the Howells
** the Skipper
** and now Skipper's "little buddy", Gilligan

Fair well, "little buddy".

The Professor; Mary Ann; and Ginger; are all that are left.
May they all fair well in the life endeavors.

fwiw, I watched and watched and watched that show for many,
many years. Fox 5 had it, then TBS, then USA, and finally,
Nick @ Night / TV Land, for many years.
I used to watch this show and "Three's Company" back to back,
when they had it on Fox 5 over the years. Anyways.

***** September 26, 1964 - September 4, 1967
"Gilligan's Island" lasted on CBS from 1964 to 1967, and it was
revived in later seasons with three high-rated TV movies. It was
a Robinson Crusoe story about seven disparate travelers who are
marooned on a deserted Pacific Island after their small boat was
wrecked in a storm.

The cast: Alan Hale Jr., as Skipper Jonas Grumby; Bob Denver, as
his klutzy assistant Gilligan; Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer, as
rich snobs Thurston and Lovey Howell; Tina Louise, as bosomy movie
star Ginger Grant; Russell Johnson, as egghead science professor
Roy Hinkley Jr.; and Dawn Wells, as sweet-natured farm girl
Mary Ann Summers.
