Russell Johnson (b. 11/10/24), an actor best known for his portrayal of The Professor on the 60's sitcom Gilligan's Island passed away this week. His passing means only the two young female castaways, Mary Ann and Ginger remain.
Gilligan's Island only ran for three seasons. It's ratings were #17, #19, and >#30, respectively. The humor was slapstick, and not groundbreaking at all, but it made people, including me, laugh. As such, it seems to be in perpetual syndication.
RIP, The Professor. I can't say you inspired me to become a chemist, but I can say I always looked forward to your ingenious-but-ultimately-ineffective inventions on the show.
