#21  Too bad, and hey I liked F-Troop. You really feel old when you hear your generations music in the elevator.
# 13, what a way to go, with that filthy water still very vivid.

#16  Oops.
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

#15  It's too bad Bob will be remembered mostly as Gilligan. The Adventures of Dobie Gillis was an incomparably superior show and Denver's character, a self-stereotyped beatnik named Maynard G. Krebs, deserves to be a cultural icon. Bob stole the show, but only a few of us are old enough to remember it.

#14  That's it - I'm going on Amazon and buying the entire series on DVD.

#13  Maybe. If his entourage overloads his rowboat and tips it over down in New Orleans. Or they forget to put in the drain plugs.

#11  I always liked Abe Vigoda. I saw Gilligan's Island as a kid once and never got into it. Hope I live past 70, though.

#6  What's old is when you know him as Maynard G. Krebs because by then you were too old to watch something a dumb as Gilligan's Island.

#5  Gilligan's Island mostly sucked.
The Munsters and F-troop were high-brow in comparison.

#4  The Skipper and the Howells now have Gilligan to order around again.

#3  What makes me feel old is when I see these young hot babes on TV and realize I have boots older than them. Sigh......

#2  Yeah, but I don't have to feel like it.
