LOS ANGELES May 18, 2005 — Bob Denver, star of the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," is recuperating from quadruple heart bypass surgery, his agent said Wednesday.

Denver, 70, had the surgery recently after a checkup revealed problems, said his Los Angeles-based agent, Mike Eisenstadt. He is recuperating at his West Virginia home.

Denver portrayed the title character in the sitcom about a group of castaways stranded on a desert isle.

Maybe he wasn't smoking enough dope.

Hope he gets a get-well kiss from Mary Ann.

My first thought also. Nothing says healthy heart like two lungs full of smoke.

"Gilligan is 70? Wow, do I feel old."

I'm almost 50, but I'm too young to remember the Dobbie Gillis show.

I remember Gilligan, though.

Mary Ann constitutes a major kink in my psycho-sexual development.

Barbara Eden's only child died of an accidental heroin overdose, by the way. I hope she has learned how to go on after such a horrific loss.

The real news in that story is that Frank Gorshin died. I hope Krebs recovers, but he lacks somethng Gorshin had in spades: talent.

Me too. I saw a program yesterday on TV land where they picked the 10 hottest female actresses. I was shocked at how bad their choices were but the worst of all was choosing Ginger instead of Mary Ann.

I have seen several times where just about any group would choose Mary Ann by a margin of something like 3 to 1 over Ginger. Not that Ginger was ugly.

I'm still obsessing about what (if anything) she was wearing under that big nightshirt.

Gilligan is 70. Mick Jagger is in his 60s. Half of the Beatles are dead. Joe Namath is getting a senior citizen discount on his pantyhose. The kids on The Brady Bunch and Partridge Family are having grandchildren.

Hell yes I feel old!

But Keith Richards gives me hope.
