Good Bye Little Buddy 

Good Bye Little Buddy

Yesterday was a sad day for classic TV lovers with the death of Bob Denver, better known as Gilligan. Talk about a show that became a cult classic. I know I must have seen every episode 20 times. A few years ago I saw a documentary on that show. When the show was canceled the cast had a choice of a lump payment for future rerun rights or a syndication fee for each show. They all chose a lump sum payment. Turns out if they had chosen the syndication fee they would have made millions off the show. As it was they didn’t make that much from it. None of them had any idea how long it would remain popular.
