Born in 2000. As teenagers, we would watch this on weekends after breakfast, along with I Love Lucy, Laverne and Shirley, Saved by the Bell. Afternoons for my siblings and me were Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Discovery Kids. This would've been considered a "grown up show" for us when we were kids lol
In 1973, came home from school and made myself a glass of Quik chocolate milk and eat 2 Hostess Ding Dongs, watch the show, followed by Bewitched, then go outside and play. When we lived in the east coast, they were called Hostess Ring Dings.
Don't forget eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with milk (or chocolate milk) while watching this show. I loved this show along with the "F Troops" and all the others. 😊😊
I plan on creating the Gilligan's Planet comic book series. Since I've added one extra for the Gilligan's Planet storyline. That's Teresa Dortch, who's the added character.
I'm a child of the 60's, and I grew up watching both Dobie Gillis and Gilligans Island. Watching those shows were some of my best happy times as a kid. Rest easy, Bob. And thank you.
For whatever reason, this show has resonated with kids of all generations. There was something just goofy about Gilligan's Island because you knew they weren't going to get rescued but you watched the stupid thing anyways just to see the hot chicks, even though you don't KNOW that at 8 years old, and what kind of weird inventions the professor would come up with, and of course how Gilligan would thwart their chances of escaping. If a guy like him truly existed, he would have been lynched after the very first time he screwed up their chance of chance of being rescued.
My dad wouldn't let me watch Gilligan's Island. He said it was too silly. But I made a deal with my grandma. She said I can watch Gilligan's Island if I watch Lawrence Welk with her. A kids got to do, what a kids got to do.😅
Rest in peace Bob Denver. You were a sensational actor and we will always miss you along with the four other late members of the cast who are, Alan Hale, Jim Bakus, Natalie Schafer and Russell Johnson.
Well... Ginger's the only one left on the island now. She finally gets to be the center of attention that she always wanted to be. She'll go crazy on that island all by herself - probably get too much plastic surgery from that mad scientist from the other island a short distance away.
Inolvidable, La Isla de Guilligan. Una de mis series favoritas de TV en mi infancia. Adoro a todos esos actores....Gracias por estos videos. UN MILLÓN DE GRACIAS!!!!!!!
Translation: Timeless, Gilligan's Island. One of my particular favorites of my childhood. Loved ALL the actors...Thank you for this video. A MILLION THANKS !!!!
I can watch Gilligan's island episodes they never get old there so fun to watch.Bod Denver made that show he was so popular.Mary Ann was my girlfriend in my dreams.I still watch it today.I have it on DVD
Same here. Watched it in reruns after school in the 70s and can still pop in the occasional episode now. The whole cast was fantastic, but the chemistry between Alan Hale and Bob D was perfect.
Gilligan was not stupid, the youngest male and stuck on a deserted Island with two babes. He intentionally screwed up every chance of rescue. This Letterman show,38 years ago, where in Hell did my life go?
I feel you, Greg. Where did the years go? I watched both Dobie Gillis and Gilligan as a child in the 60's. I'm now soon to welcome my first grandchild. Where did all that time go?
I totally loved Gilligan. I always told my family (at age five) I would marry him. Forty (and something) years later I am married but it isn't to Gilligan. I see similarities (husband disagrees totally).
@@televisionarchivestudios1130 -- He actually moved to West Virginia (no joke), although I have no idea why. He had no family connections there. Perhaps he wanted it to stay private (LOL). He was also busted, twice, for marijuana. One time, he was busted for receiving it in the mail. He initially claimed that Dawn Wells mailed it to him. He later told authorities that it must've been from a crazy fan...but I bet it was Dawn. I had no idea these people were so cool!
I remember when Dave was still doing stand up one of his jokes went something like "You ever hear on those radio talk shows where a caller starts out sounding intelligent but then turns out to be a nut? Like they'll say, 'Yeah, I think the government spends way too much money on defense and other things like that... Yet they won't lift a finger to get those poor people off of Gilligan's Island!'"
Loved Gilligan's Island but really loved his earlier stuff when I got older. Far out Space nuts was one of my faves too. Used to run home from elementry school to watch it.
TheChitown5 I had a crush on Maynard G Krebs, when I was a kid. I started listening to jazz and even wore a ripped up sweatshirt, and jeans. I even dirtied up my white Keds sneakers for the full effect. I read Kerouac and William S Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. I knew Maynard didn’t do drugs, so I didn’t, as well. He was my role model and I “werked” hard in school studying all intellectuals in literature, art, and music. I became open to be living and kind to all people, no matter their cultural differences. Maynard may have been a fictional character, but I deeply loved and respected him and his friendship with “straight -laced Dobie Gillis. The show had so many characters from different social and cultural strata, that it was educational as well as entertaining.
I have heard Bob Denver mention several times where he wished he made a better deal through the reruns he was truly bitter about that and I don't blame him cuz everyone of those cast members should have been rich the way those reruns carried on , they got screwed
I recently saw an old episode of Dobie Gillis, and for a fake beatnik Maynard G. Krebs had a lot of intelligent things to say. The show holds up very well.
I always feel that way about actors. A film day is a job. It'd be like going up to some guy and asking them to remember 20 years ago when they went to work, Tell me all about it!"...dude, I can barely remember last week.
Dave in the 80's and 90's was the best. I remember smoking some weed one night and Dave looked into the camera and said something all the pot smokers watching and it cracked me up.
I love Bob Denver but seeing Siskel and Ebert play along with the gag about them getting married was amazing (even if Gene looked a bit more restrained about it).
Yep! Gilligan's Island reboot as a western. You won;t see those rerun with the White folks painted up as Native Americans. I;m surprised GI gets away with the "Headhunters" and Vitto Scotti as the Japanese sailor.
Wow. What a humble, down-to-earth guy. After two hit series, he does dinner theatre at shopping malls and casinos. Says he didn't receive golden residuals that are now earned by actors with half the talent.
Apparently Dawn Wells ("Mary Ann") did have it worked into her contract to receive residuals from Gilligan's Island--her boyfriend at the time who also her agent demanded this----but apparently it wasn't for perpetuity
As a kid, I loved the show, "The Good Guys". I still remember episodes that I've not seen since 1969! As far as why Gilligan's Island was cancelled was because Paley of CBS wife loved "Gunsmoke". The programmers took Gunsmoke off.....and when Paley was reviewing the new season, said, "Where's Gunsmoke?". He arbitrarily decided at that moment to kill Gilligan and a new show that never aired which occupied the 1 hour period that Gunsmoke formerly occupied. That was it, it was renewed and then within a week, cancelled.
A little known fact about Gilligan's Island, there was actually a mall on the far end of the island that they never mentioned in the show, it had clothing stores and all the luxuries of a big city mall.
Bob you forgot _"Far Out Space Nuts!"_ Sort of a Gilligan & The Skipper in space with Chuck McCann playing Alan Hale's "Skipper" part of the space captain in a capsule. As a kid in the 70's I could never understand why "Gilligan" in 1975 looked so "old" all of a sudden after him being a "kid" on "GI". The illusionary magic of TV, I guess.
@@staceyharper7827 The show was a direct ripoff of Gilligan's Island with him in it. I recall when it first aired, we were laughing at it (not because it was funny, but) because it was the same show as Gilligan's Island.

@@georgeshelton6281huh?
@@BillEFabian I agree with you on that one about Bob Denver.
@@BillEFabian Makes sense ! He was a Mathematics and History Teacher before becoming an actor !
That guy, like Max Baer, Jr., was unfairly typecast. And both guys have more decency than any present-day actors.
Thumbs up for Bob Denver Gilligan 👍
He didn’t accidentally “swallow a radio.” His filling got loose and it started receiving radio signals. 😊
You’ve got a good memory. I remember that silly filling.
Wasn't there a Brady Bunch episode, where one of the girls was receiving radio stations with her braces? Must have been a theme in those years. 😄
No. You’re thinking of Laurie Partridge (Susan Dey) of the Partridge Family.

I miss Bob Denver. He was the most normal, normal looking, nicest guy in show business.
I was born in 1999, but I love watching shows from before I was even born like Gilligan's Island.
You have great taste then! I wish they still made them like this.
@@myles_bennett77 yeah I wish they did also. There's still some good shows around though.

What a sweet guy Bob Denver was.
he was sweet on pot too
I love Bob Denver. He seems so spry and intelligent and articulate, here. And never snide or cynical.
Loved for many generations. Everybody loved Gilligan.
I'm glad he enjoyed that cuz we all loved it!!! He gave us a great gift.
Some of these videos make this 52 yo man tear up like a little kid.
you are not a man PRINCESS
Absolutely. Many after school memories. It wasn’t till years later that I realized this show had been made 20 years before I discovered it.
Imagine a 72 yr. Old guy getting nostalgic

Dawn Wells also passed Dec. 30, 2020. So sad, she had no man, no children, no house & no money.
This is excellent quality and editing. Thank you so much for sharing this. I absolutely love Dobie Gillis!
I modeled my life after Gilligan!This show is priceless, Bob and the others deserved more!

Right. “Gilligan” was a character played by Bob Denver. Bob was an intelligent man.
That was great! Thanks for posting Don!
He always seemed like a genuinely good guy.
I’m old enough to have watched Dobie Gillis. The original Beatnik.
I totally loved Gilligan. I always told my family (at age five) I would marry him. Forty (and something) years later I am married but it isn't to Gilligan. I see similarities (husband disagrees totally).
He was a truly great comedic character actor. RIP. hilariously silly.
Bob Denver, thank you for adding fun to my life!!
As a young fan of Dobie Gillis and Gilligan's Island.. I just HAD to add a comment to this thread.... 74yrs old and LOVED THOSE SHOWS!!!
What a wonderful man!
Bob Denver seemed incredibly down to earth, at least here!!
He probably was. People who knew him said he was pretty unassuming and a bit of a recluse.
He was when I met him. Shy actually. I met him in Maine of all places. He said he had a home in the area but wanted it to stay private.
@@televisionarchivestudios1130 -- He actually moved to West Virginia (no joke), although I have no idea why. He had no family connections there. Perhaps he wanted it to stay private (LOL).

Yes He Definitely Was

Not even the networks knew that " syndicated reruns" were going to be a huge thing. Star Trek was like that, and M*A*S*H.
I remember seeing Bob in a play in NJ and there were over a thousand ppl there.
Bob Denver what a guy 👍👍
I wish there were more like him.
Dave was funny, "so many people could find their way ON the Island and visit you, but yo could never find your way off?"
Dawn Wells had really nice things to say about Bob Denver as a person.
What a gracious guy
Pleasant fellow.

❤ I was born 1961 and I was older I started to watch Bewitched Gilligan's Island Gunsmoke
Gilligan’s Island was actually cancelled because of Gunsmoke. That said, I pass on GS.
bob seemed like a super nice guy
Nick at Night started showing reruns of Dobie Gillis later in the '80s.
That was the first time I ever saw it. I used to go to bed at 10 and would watch Dobie and then Patty Duke.
Little Buddy!
What a nice guy!
I watched dobie gillis when it was on - I remember dobie saying in one episode that maynard never tells a lie

He wore toupees most of his adult life.
I was going to say it looks more like a wig, and a bad one at that.
