Wow that was a little shocking. I last seen a pic of her about 5 years ago and she seemed to be holding up pretty well. I must be getting old too because Mrs. Howell looks good to me now!

I have recently begun watching it again on ME TV.
A couple of things my memory was a bit foggy on. Tina Louise was better looking than I had thought and Mary Ann may have actually had too much of the right stuff.
Me too and those big eyes they had I remember freaking out when the guy got his hand chopped off LOL! Check it out, Russell Johnson talks about that movie:

make that Robert Kennedy’s assasination. The original opening was filmed shortly after that event.
You mean the Sixties TV shows. The Seventies were all about liberal social manipulation through TV shows.

The show ran from 1964-67. JFK killed in 1963, his brother RFK in 1968.
RIP Professeor.What a fun,silly show.
Remember him saying if they did GI today
they would all be living in one tent.
The innocence is long gone tody.
memories never aging, as eternity races on . . sigh
I real gentleman and a nice guy.
Except Dawn Wells...at the time she was married to a slick Hollywood agent who saw to it that she got future royalties, and she did---the only cast member to do so, and it has made her a wealthy woman.
BTW, Dawn runs an active Facebook Page for anybody who's interested.
I remember an interview of Jim Backus many years ago.
He mentioned that they were trying to show social conditions tho he said he personally never understood what they were doing.
He and Sherwood Schwartz were good friends but he still thought the show was a bit silly.
I would definitely trade places with him but make it about 60 years ago so I could experience all of that!
Oddly enough, my favorite geek hero of the 60’s was Greg Morris of Mission: Impossible. This is what I wanted to do...work behind the scenes running everything and making stuff work. This actually came true for the most part.
LOL!
God Bless Professor...R.I.P.

I always thought that hole in the hull of the boat was repairable...
Thank you so much for posting that link!!
What a trip down memory lane with some really great trivia.
I had the chance to meet Alan Hale at his restaurant, The Lobster Barrel and yes, he wore his hat.
Great stuff, thanks again!!
