I was just looking at his Bio, he had two marriages that lasted 30+ years. Has to be a record.

Way, way south.
He played that part perfectly. May he rest in peace.

I heard earlier this week, coincidentally, that each of the seven characters on Gilligan's Island represented a particular deadly sin. I think the Professor was Pride, Mary Ann envy, Ginger lust, etc. but the only one that didn't make sense was Gilligan as gluttony or anger when The Skipper represented both.

I loved that show, corny as it was.

RIP Professor. Now who's going to show us how to make a radio out of coconuts?

May the Professor rest in peace.

And MB Guy,
I did not write this, I just found it:

Ginger represents LUST - she wears skimpy outfits, is obsessed with her looks, and is a borderline nymphomaniac.

Mary Ann represents ENVY - she is jealous of Ginger's beauty.

The Professor represents PRIDE - he is an annoying know-it-all.

Mr. Howell represents GREED - no explanation needed.

Mrs. Howell represents SLOTH - she has never lifted a finger to help on any of their escape plans.

The Skipper represents two sins: GLUTTONY - again, no explanation needed and ANGER - he violently hits Gilligan on each show.

This leaves Gilligan. Gilligan is the person who put them there. He prevents them from leaving by foiling all of their escape plots. Also, it is HIS island. Therefore, Gilligan is SATAN.

So I guess the lesson to be learned here is that envy and lust outlast all the other sins. whistle

Always liked the Professor....RIP Russell.

Used to enjoy the Partridge Family as well - until they started giving us all the tell-all stories.... Oh Well, RIP Dave.

The names of all of the castaways were mentioned in the first episode as they were listening to the radio on the beach by the wrecked Minnow.

Keep it up punk!

For the actual record, I was much more interested in the girls of Petticoat Junction and Hee Haw as compared to the castaways.

Actually, I think it was the other way around. In season one, it was "and the rest", and after that was changed to include Professor and Mary Ann by name. Something to do with jealosy over billing credits, specifically by Tina Louise.
