Bob Denver, TV's Gilligan, dead at 70


By Duane Byrge
Bob Denver, who starred as the loveably nutty castaway Gilligan on the hit TV comedy "Gilligan's Island," has died, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 70.

Denver died Friday at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina of complications from treatment he was receiving for cancer, his agent, Mike Eisenstadt, told the Associated Press. Denver's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight."

2. Pool-ooh-see-magoomba, little buddy.

Pool-ooh-see-magoomba was a phrase uttered by the natives after they took Gilligan hostage in one of the episodes. I'm at a loss as to why that phrase has been stuck in my mind for the last 30 years or so.
