    In this video, we take a nostalgic journey through television history, shining a spotlight on classic shows where only one main cast member remains. From the zany castaways of Gilligan's Island to the lovable hillbillies of The Beverly Hillbillies, these series left an unforgettable mark on pop culture and continue to captivate audiences decades after their original runs.
    We explore the careers and lives of the last surviving stars, sharing little-known facts and behind-the-scenes stories. Did you know that Tina Louise initially hesitated to take the role of Ginger, fearing it would typecast her? Or that Max Baer Jr., who played Jethro on The Beverly Hillbillies, later became a successful businessman and filmmaker?
    The video also delves into the personal struggles and triumphs of stars like Todd Bridges, who battled addiction and legal troubles before turning his life around, and Demond Wilson, who became an ordained minister and founded a prison ministry after Sanford and Son.
    Through interviews, clips, and rarely seen photos, we celebrate the enduring legacy of these shows and the actors who brought them to life. From the groundbreaking comedy of Sanford and Son to the ahead-of-its-time farce of Three's Company, these series broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of television stars.
    But the video is more than just a tribute to the past. It's a reminder of the power of television to bring us together, to make us laugh, and to touch our hearts. These shows and their stars are a part of our shared cultural heritage, a link to a time when families gathered around the TV to share in the laughter and the tears.
    As we honor the last surviving cast members of these beloved series, we also look to the future. What new shows and stars will capture our hearts in the decades to come? And how will we remember and celebrate them when they, too, are the last of their kind?
    So join us on this journey through TV history, as we pay tribute to the shows and stars that have meant so much to us over the years. And share your own memories and thoughts in the comments below - because in the end, it's the fans who keep the legacy of these classic series alive.

    I met Jerry Mathers 2 years ago in Concord CA, at a 1 day Comicon event. Very nice man, and was very happy to meet him, and get me, and my wife and daughter taken a picture with him. Not much of a talker, but very polite, and was a pleasure to meet him in person.

      For a while Jerry was hanging around Memphis going to our city's hockey games. He'd drive the zamboni machine and reglaze the ice during halftime. A lot of people were too young to really know who Mather's was, but for us who grew up watching Leave it to Beaver, it was like family and we loved it. He was a great guy, and it was cool to see him having such a good time, but I still remember how surreal it seemed to me.

    Alan Hale Jr. who died at age 68 (March 8, 1921 - January 2, 1990) was an American actor and restaurateur.[1] He was the son of actor Alan Hale Sr.[1] His television career spanned four decades, but he was best known for his secondary lead role as Captain Jonas Grumby, better known as The Skipper, on the 1960s CBS comedy series Gilligan's Island (1964-1967),[1] a role he reprised in three Gilligan's Island television films and two spin-off cartoon series.

      Man, I'd have given anything to have gotten to go to Hawaii and visit Hale's restaurant. I'm never ashamed to tell people that my favorite show growing up as a kid was Gilligan's Island, and the show never fails to make me laugh when I'm feeling down. When I was fishing in Alaska, I discovered that Russell Johnson lived on an Island close by and was involved in theater in the Seattle area. Have two autographed pictures of him that I will always treasure.

    Ironic that Tina Louise is the only surviving member of Gilligan's Island and actually hated the show, and for decades wouldn't even acknowledge it. She wanted out and it's pretty much been confirmed that had the show gotten a fourth season she would have been written off the show with some miraculous accident and been replace with another character.
    For fans of old shows and movies, it's always sad to know that the actors of those shows either had a difficult time during production, or disliked their stint on a show that so many people enjoy; especially comedies where it appears everyone was having a good time and doubly so when you know that there are actors who would give anything to be part of something that people still fondly remember decades after it's over.

      Jethro may have thought of Jed as more of an "uncle" then a cousin because of their age difference and relationship.

      One of the ones that I like and didn’t make the cut, was about this guy who got this Antique Rug and found out that the rug had a goodie genie in it. I don’t remember the title, but I was sad when it got replaced.
      It would be nice to see an episode focused on the shows of T.G.I.F and what caused some to bomb, while others blossomed. Also, maybe point out inconsistencies of the shows. (For example, in boy meets world, Cory met Topanga in his grade school class and eventually became a couple. Later on in the series, They claimed that they met in a playground.)
