I always liked Bob Denver, first as Maynard, then as Gilligan.

Anybody remember Dusty's Trail, a short lived, low budget western

series with Bob Denver? It had the same plots and

characters, except they were on a broken down stage coach out in the

middle of nowhere. Sherwood Schwartz sure knew how to wring every last

cent out of a concept. Well, at least we still have Bob Denver on

film, etc.

The Many Lives was not half bad, at least from memory and at points somewhat touching. Dobbie (Dwain Hicknan) would do a stand up in front of a statue of "The Thinker" by Rodan.

Best,

Gil
