Damn and they just showed the episode yesterday where they first got stranded and the Skipper thought the island was infested with head hunters..RIP Professor

[forgotten man]

RIP. The professor could make a nuclear reactor out of a coconut. Why couldn’t he fix the hole in the Minnow? Why did the Howells bring such a large wardrobe with them a a three hour cruise?

[GeronL]

wow.

I read that the island sets were reused for another show for a season or two before it “jumped” to civilization. Can you imagine reusing those iconic sets?

[Steely Tom]

Ellie May.

Now cut that out!

[fatnotlazy]

Not too many left now. Dawn Wells yes. I think Tina Louise is still around.

[GeronL]

and suitcases full of money too

[utahagen]

In just the past year, I’ve seen Tina Louise alive and very skinny in a Barnes and Noble in NYC.

[Sarah Barracuda]

That set is legendary, damn, so now only Mary Ann and Ginger remain

[Gefn]

Just checked his bio on imdb, what an interesting life he led!

I loved that show. RIP.

I thought he died a few years ago.

[Steely Tom]
