CNN.com's breaking news.

So long, little buddy. May you find another Mary Ann in your next uncharted desert isle.

I wonder to whom he left his bong?

Must be a curse involved. They keep dying off, one by one.

I wonder to whom he left his bong?
I assume he owed one to Mary Ann and bequeathed it to her.

RIP, Maynard G. Krebs.

What a great show ole Gilligan's Island was. RIP Gilligan.

RIP, Maynard G. Krebs.


Maynard > Gilligan, IMHO. Very under-rated show.

Yet another television personality from my childhood dies...so sad.

At least he had Mary Ann and Ginger on the island.

Dobie Gillis, Gilligan's Island, Dusty's Trail, Good Guys...any left out?

i never knew the skipper and professor had names until i read the article on CNN.com

:(

I loved watching Dobbie Gillis on Nick at Night back in high school...

Without being disrespectful, with everything going on in New Orleans right now does this really qualify as "Breaking News" on CNN?

What else were they going to flash up there? Nothing else was breaking at the moment, I assume.

I take the CNN "Breaking News" things to mean, "We found out about it first, but wanted to tell you before we wrote an article about it." Not that it is of prime importance all the time, but just a "we told you first" type of thing.

New Orleans is old news now.

Another childhood hero passes away.

Sad. :(

As an aside, I keep seeing this thread as "Gillian dies" and automatically think of Dana Scully in a casket.

Dobie Gillis, Gilligan's Island, Dusty's Trail, Sweet Smell of Success...any left out?

Far Out Space Nuts.

Sad. :(
