TV comedy fans remember Bob Denver mostly as the star of "Gilligan's Island." Many of my friends will also recall his earlier role as Maynard G. Krebs on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." Bob Denver was born on this date in 1935, and died in 2005. My VeggieTales® tie celebrates that show's episode called "Larry's Lagoon," where Larry the Cucumber recreates some of Gilligan's funny moments.
