I really hope this is never said of me when I die...
"Denver's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight." I spent way too much time as a kid watching Gilligan's Island reruns. I just can't believe little buddy was 70 already... he always looked so young.

RIP Gilligan
You can't tell me that you didn't spend at least some time enjoying Gilligan's misadventures in TV Land. RIP

That's a bummer. I could never ever picture him as an old man. He'll forever be that kid with the goatee from Doby Gillis.

I'm old enough to have seen it when it first came out -- I was ten or so at the time. I liked it well enough, but the continuing popularity mystifies me. It was a fun but stupid comedy that was so silly it was surreal; there were plenty of those around at the time. It only made three years before they cancelled it.

I remember Maynard G. Krebs from Dobie reruns, Gilligan from Island reruns, and first-run episodes of Bob in Far Out Space Nuts, as Junior. ("Lunch, not launch!")
Rest in peace, Little Buddy. /pours out coconut milk for another castaway

I'm smoking a bowl in the honor of Bob Denver. May you live forever in TV Land.
EDIT- Who is Maynard G. Krebs? What is Dobie? A tv show? Maybe it just before my time.

In Gilligan’s own memorable words:
“We’ll get off this island yet.” So he has. And so shall we all.
