Gilligan & Maxwell Smart - R.I.P.

Snowdog · 09-27-2005, 10:41 AM

Yes, the TV funny guys I grew up with are dying.
First, on September 6th, Bob Denver, aka Gilligan of the nutty show Gilligan's Island, died at age 70, and now Don Adams, Control agent 86, passed away yesterday at age 82. Many younger folk will know his voice as that of Inspector Gadget in the cartoon series.

Of these shows, I always had kid sexual fantasies of Mary Ann when I watched Gilligan, but I loved Get Smart! And to think that today, they actually do have shoe-phones!

Yay for Max Smart! It was really funny in the episode involving the defector from Kaos, when they had the standoff in the hotel lobby.

I knew about Bob Denver, hadn't heard Don Adams died.

I loved both of those shows, silly as they were. That was back in "the good ole days" when our whole family would sit down together to watch TV. We all laughed together watching them.

the girls that are left, look much better than their compatriots of the male gender.
Mary Ann (seen two months ago) is still very desireable, IMO. Funny though she wasn't interested in a 3 hr. cruise.

Yes she is! Mary Ann lives over on Vashon Island west of Seattle. The Professor lives north od Seattle... Hmmm......
