The Professor, dead at 89...

For those of us who are old enough to remember Gilligan's Island.

GINGER; Hold me tighter Professor.
PROFESSOR: !..uh I'm afraid I'll crush your dress.
GINGER: Try..

Only two living cast members, the ladies that played Ginger and Mary Ann. All the rest are gone with the passing of the Professor.

The Professor was the original McGyver, ya know.....didn't he discover Cold Fusion using hollowed out coconuts and monkey droppings?

Kidding aside...what a classic comedy that show was. As a young fellow just hitting puberty I had (as millions of red-blooded American boys) such a crush on Ginger, Mary Ann.....and Samantha (Bewitched) and Jeanie (need you ask what show?).....heck, even Ellie Mae Clampette hanging out by the cement pond, for that matter....

One of my all time favorite TV comedies.

What you say guys, MARY ANN or GINGER!

RIP---I luv that show and have now gotten my 3 yr old grandbaby hooked on it!

I guess he finally got off the island...

RIP brings back such great care free memories.

A 3 hour tour......a 3 hour tour......
