That Bob Denver has passed away (1935-2005) last Friday. He was 70 years old.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-06-2005 02:56 PM                        Bob "Gilligan" Denver brought a lot of happiness into my house as my kids were growing up. They will all miss him as will my wife and I. Tonight my Martini will be raised for him.  |  IP: Logged Robert Harrison Expert Film Handler Posts: 239 From: Harwood Heights, Illinois, USA Registered: Jun 2005 posted 09-07-2005 09:59 PM                     I used to watch "Gilligan's Island" as a kid, first-run and syndication. Later on, I got to absolutely hate the show. Then, when my nostalgia kicked in, I started watching, and enjoying it, again. I also used to watch Denver as Maynard on "Dobie Gillis."  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-08-2005 10:26 AM                       Yes, lightning struck twice with Bob Denver - on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" and later with "Gilligan's Island". Although every episode was the same and you wanted to kill him after a while, 'Gilligan' was still a very funny show. In interviews, Denver seemed like such a kind soul, I am sorry to hear of his passing. Thanks for the laughs, Little Buddy.  |  IP: Logged
