- Old actors never die, they don't even fade away. They're always available.
- [about his role on Gilligan's Island (1964)] It used to make me upset to be typecast that way. But as the years have gone on, I have given in. I am the Professor, and that's the way it is. The show has brought a lot of joy to people, and that's not a bad legacy.
- Gunsmoke (1955), Wagon Train (1957), The Dakotas (1962) -- you name a Western, I did it. I was always the bad guy in Westerns. I played more bad guys than you can shake a stick at until I played the Professor. Then I couldn't get a job being a bad guy.
- if there was ever a group of actors who were typecast it was us.
- don't you realize the opening lyrics lie to you? the mate was mighty sailing man come on now, and the minnow would be lost? we were lost, and it wasn't a dessert island it was a jungle island
- before Gilligan's island i would often play a heavy in a movie u know that bad guy but after the series ran i could not get a job playing heavies anymore.
- if it wrent for the 20 something people who stoped by our island our show might have almost passed for believable.
- a show like ours by logic anyway should be defeating its own purpose if people kept finding the island we should have had no visitors.

- on bob Denver bob enjoyed sailing in real life but for obvious reasons he dreaded it when he had to rent a boat. bob has them all and there all the same oh 2 hour tour huh? i guess we will never be seeing this boat again.
- jim Backus was the first member of our cast to pass away. when he died one of his obituaries read if Backus had his way mr Magoo would have died before him not at the same time. not let anyone kid you kid though Backus still had soft spot in his heart for Magoo and Howell too by George.
