I have never seen a full episode of Gilligan's Island. My co-workers tell me that makes me un-American. But I did love it when he came on Roseanne (when they did the Gilligan's Island spoof) and he played Jackie during the last scene over the closing credits. It says a lot that he was willing to accept his place in pop culture history rather than pretending to no avail that it never happened.
Ahem. Eve Plumb, I'm looking in your direction.

I loved the episode with the line "I owes evr'thing to Dr.Gilligan 'ere! He taught me 'ow to walk and to talk.. like a regular lady. 'e gave me real class, he did!"

Actually, he wasn't WITH Woody on Broadway, he replaced Woody in the lead role in PLAY IT AGAIN SAM when Woody had to go do a movie.
