RIP Professor. You weren't quite smart enough to get off the island, but you got close several times. To be fair, Gilligan usually screwed up your plans.

When I was a kid, I never missed an episode and saw each one so many times, I can still recite the dialog and remember the lyrics from both versions of the intro (and the lyrics from the "outro").
An interesting note about this series is that Tina Louise always resented her role as "Ginger" and blamed typecasting on the fact that her career never really took off, as she'd hoped . On the other hand, Alan Hale loved his role as "The Skipper" and fully embraced it. He would even wear his iconic hat around town and had no problem being called 'Skipper". I kinda think Bob Denver was a troubled individual. Aside from his early days as Maynard G. Krebs on Dobie Gillis, which was a little before my time, I can't remember seeing him in anything else.
