R.I.P. Professor

He could fashion a treadmill from palm fronds and bamboo, and a phone from coconut shells, but he was still immortal.
The professor is dead.

I was just coming on here to post this, you beat me to it by one minute.

If ever there was a true GRM TV character, he was it. I loved the show as a kid. RIP Professor...

I was actually reading his website a couple of months ago. He seemed like a nice guy.

We didn't have a lot of TV channels to choose from when I was a little kid, so I must have watched that show every day for at least four years. I've probably seen every episode a dozen times.

I certainly hope that he was able to nail either Mary Ann or Ginger at least once during the time that they were stranded on that godforsaken island.

I thought we'd lost Alain Prost...

Mary Ann always seemed more like his kind of girl...

still, sad to see a good guy go. at least he got off this island

Mary Ann has aged more gracefully than Ginger. Monday on the local cable they're having a Gilligan's Island marathon.

Reuben Kincaid died today too

Who's Danny going to scheme with now?

The professor was our kind of guy.. If you had a Lemons team and at 4AM the brake calipers all went bad at the same time. He would build some out of Island volcano lava, Coconut shells, and some parts leftover from the Minnow. Then he would synthesize brake fluid to replace the fluid lost due to the failure, from seawater, and a sycamore tree found in the paddock..

But for some reason, he couldn't just build a damn boat..

I'm pretty sure He could fix the boat whenever he wanted to, he just didn't want to leave.

Yup, I don't think they every figured out why he refused to fix the boat...

The Professor did 44 flights in a B-24 during WWII, shot down and got a Purple Heart.

One never knows .........

Mary Ann and Ginger are the only surviving cast members left.

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that he was MacGyver's biological father; I just can't remember where I heard it.

I bought the boxed set on Amazon last summer. Maybe it's time for a marathon.
