Title: Giiligan finally escapes this Island Post by: yale on September 06, 2005, 11:22:19 AM Bob Denver dead at 70
Title: Re: Giiligan finally escapes this Island Post by: Astronuc on September 06, 2005, 12:17:16 PM I haven't heard much about Bob Denver during the last decade. He probably will be remembered as Gilligan the way Jim Nabors is remembered as Gomer Pyle, or as Ernest Borgnine is remembered as Quinton McCale. I loved those shows.
R. I. P. :koala Title: Re: Giiligan finally escapes this Island Post by: yale on September 06, 2005, 01:21:10 PM Being an old fart, I will always remember Bob Denver as the Beatnik, Maynard G. Krebs in the TV series, "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis".
Not pictured here is one of the co-stars, who was (and is) an object of my personal unbridled lust.

But I saw the original Gilligans Island and then the reruns several times - weekdays after school. :koala Title: Re: Giiligan finally escapes this Island Post by: ottawan on September 07, 2005, 09:31:19 AM So long, "little buddy"
I well remember the Gilligan character but can't recall Maynard. Title: Re: Giiligan finally escapes this Island Post by: spacecat27 on September 09, 2005, 04:46:13 PM "Maynard" instilled in me a love of bongo drums that probably some of my apartment neighbors during college days did not appreciate. :beatnik2.gif:
I feel a connection to the 'island folk' though, since The Professor (Russell Johnson) is probably the most famous graduate of the orphanage in which I was raised. Of course, he went through that mill about 20 years before I did- so I never met him- must be in his 80's now and enjoying retirement. |
