Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy first mate Gilligan on the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 70.

Denver, who underwent quadruple heart bypass surgery earlier this year, died at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina, according to agent Mike Eisenstadt. Denver's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight."

Cool - not that it mattered anyway. Mary Ann was one of those boyhood crushes that I'm sure a lot of us had. Nice to see she's been aging gracefully: Image hosted by TinyPic.com

Did they ever get off that island?

You remind me of an old Bloom County strip, along the lines of "If the professor can make a microwave out of two coconuts and some string, then why can't he fix the $%&(@#$^* boat!"

Gilligan? 70 years old?

That was an enormous wake-up call for my own mortality.

Luck dog for meeting Dawn Wells, I so had the hots for Mary Ann when I was ten.

There are 2 kinds of guys in the world: Mary Ann guys or Ginger guys (most guys I know are Mary Ann guys but my brother is a Ginger guy).

Never cared much for the Gilligan gig but loved Maynard. A passing noted with sadness.

You've forgot about the 3rd and 4th kind. Either one. Or both.
