Television lost an icon this past week with the passing of Bob Denver. Denver, 70, died in North Carolina following complications of cancer treatment. His co-stars describe him as a gentle intellect off-camera, but on the small screen he will always be associated with two less-than-intellectual roles: Maynard G. Krebs, the beatnik friend of the title character in “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis” and the bumbling Willie Gilligan from “Gilligan’s Island.”
Since there were seven main characters who left for that infamous three-hour cruise, I thought the show could make a good question for the “Sunday Seven” as we say farewell to the island’s most famous resident.
But first, Andi of “She Said What?” was first to play last week’s inaugural edition. Congratulations!
Now on to this week’s question!
For those who don’t remember, here are the characters from the show. (And if you don’t remember them, shame on you!)
Jonas Grumby, the Skipper
Willie Gilligan, his First Mate
Thurston Howell III, the Millionaire
Eunice “Lovey” Wentworth Howell, his Wife
Ginger Grant, the Movie Star
Roy Hinkley, the Professor
Mary Anne Summers, the Farm Girl
THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
You have to be stuck on a deserted island with the seven castaways. Who would you most like to have as your immediate neighbors? Rank the seven castaways with one being the person you’d most like to have as a neighbor and seven being the person you’d least like to have nearby.
Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)
