Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy first mate Gilligan on the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 70.

Let us all drop our coconuts, and have a moment of silence.

As a kid I really enjoyed the show...now it reminds me of when television was filled with light hearted humor and innocence. Those times are long gone....

Thanks for Gilligan and Maynard.
