Professor!!!!!!

If this guy gets buried in anything other than a coffin that is scrapped together from coconuts and bamboo.... I'm going to be extremely miffed.

Another piece of my childhood gone......I think I watched Gilligan's Island every day after school.

RIP Professor!  Thanks!

From the linked article:

"He joined the Army Air Corps during World War II and served as a B-24 bombardier on missions over the Pacific war zone, breaking his ankles in 1945 when his plane was shot down over the Philippine island of Mindanao. He was discharged as a first lieutenant in November 1945, having earned a Purple Heart and other medals."

How many of today's TV actors/celebrities have stuff like that on their resumes?  We've lost another member of the Greatest Generation.

RIP, Professor.

T.V. Land had reruns last night and we told the kids how we used to watch it when we were little.  The played the first 2 episodes which were still black and white. They kids thought it was hilarious too.

I would add Batman and the Monkeys to the list - of COURSE the Munsters.

Watched episode 2 last night (Home Sweet Hut) and the wife was literally cracking up.  Such a good show.

Very Nice! 

RIP to the Original 'Science Guy".

Loved that show. 

RIP

That show was great.  There were a bunch that we watched after school.  Batman.  Ultraman, and the Beverly Hillbillies was another.  Some Adams Family, although I never really liked that.  And the cartoons then were the greatest.  I remember seeing a Popeye rerun from WWII entitled "You're a Sap Mr. Jap".   That would go over great today.

Does anyone remember Fury?  It was my before school staple......... came on right before The Lone Ranger.

Yep.  Starred Peter Graves, pre-Mission Impossible.

Mark....I promise I saw every Fury episode ever made multiple times (it was in sindication by the time I was watching in the mid 60's)......and I did not remember that Peter Graves starred in it.  Thanks!
