Reading about Gilligan's Island on wikipedia makes me sad

[Texashiker]

Gilligan's Island was one of my favorite shows when I was growing up.

Over the past few decades a good number of the crew have died.

Its like we are losing a whole generation of people right before our eyes.

How did you think generations was supposed to work?

look at it this way, the more older people around you that die, the more powerful you become

I'm shocked there was only 3 seasons.

 

[Printer Bandit]

only Ginger, Mary Ann, and the Professor are still alive.

I never understood how the Howell's had so much crap with them.... it was a three hour tour!!!

 

[Ns1]

.... it was a three hour tour!!!

a three hour tour...

 

[blackangst1]

Its like my gramma used to say when she was still alive....you know youre old when your main social events are friend's funerals.

My bet's on Mary Ann. The Professor should croak in a few years from now.

I still don't know where Maryanne got the necessary ingredients to bake coconut cream pies all the time like she did.

Yeah, that'll happen when people get old...

By the way, what crew? It was just the Skipper and Gilligan IIRC. The rest of them were just passengers.

And you call yourself a fan...

 

[shortylickens]

I'm shocked there was only 3 seasons.

They got 40 of them in reruns.
MASH too. Well, MASH lasted 11 but they rerun them like mad, you'd think the Korean war was still going on.

I like the way you talk.

 

[Printer Bandit]

watching gilligan's island and brady bunch after school in the afternoons was the best.

a three hour tour...

Well, the weather starting getting rough...

 

[Fritzo]

I feel like that about a lot of people. We lost an entire generation of actors and entertainers that were seen everyday on TV. Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Johnny Carson...it's still hard to believe they're gone.

She had an unlimited supply from Gilligan, the Skipper, the Proffessor, Thurston Howell III, etc.

 

[D1gger]

if it weren't for the courage of the fearless crew...

The Minnow would be lost!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Most of the Hogan's Heroes cast is dead too.

Louie LeBeau is still around, though.
