RIP, Professor.  You always made the best radios out of coconuts.

That leaves only Dawn Wells (MaryAnn) and Tina Louise (Ginger). I loved the Professor. I always wondered just what he brought along for a "three hour tour" cuz he always used things other than just coconuts. I imagine there were a lot of stranded castaways that regretted not watching him a bit closer. Years later when I watched MacGyver resolving all these problems with a paperclip or duct tape I always figured he must have watched Gilligan when he was younger!

I noticed that one of our channels was playing Gilligans Island all day yesterday. I caught a couple of the episodes and it was a nice way to remember them all.
Did anyone else notice that it was on? The coconut raidos were a chuckle. And I wonder if there were any of the same writers on McGuyver? Giving the 2 shows some similarities. I still enjoy them both and my little ones that will visit will watch them if they are on with me and like them too. Lin
