Damn. I loved Gilligan's Island. Good show even though it was preposterous.

And don't forget he was also Maynard G. Krebs!
(that's probably before everyone's time except for me and DeltAlum)

I hate to hear that.

He sure was the "hippy-esque" friend of Dobie Gillis! It came on right after the Patty Duke Show.

Thank you Nick at Nite

It seems like everyday we hear about someone.

I LOVED THAT SHOW!!! I used to watch it all the time on Nick at Nite.

May he rest in peace.

Think of how many people that man made laugh.

Did anyone else play the game "Gilligan" at college parties?

My boss is moving, and has an old pinball machine in the back of our office.

As I was walking by yesterday, I noticed a picture of Gilligan on the side.

The machine's theme was "The Minnow."

They had Matt Lauer dressed up as Gilligan on the Today show this morning....I never realized how alike they looked.
