...Sitcom with a Message As our Milestone of actor Bob Denver noted [Sept. 19], he played the role of Gilligan in the popular 1960s TV comedy Gilligan's Island. Ten years ago, we profiled the creator of the show, Sherwood Schwartz, in a piece called "The Inventor of Bad TV." Here's an excerpt from that story [March...
According to Sylvia Link, a Denver-based estate liquidator with 30 years' experience, the average estate has marketable paper items worth at least $500. (Estate liquidators typically charge 25% to 30% of the sale.)

...DIED. BOB DENVER, 70, perennially goofy sitcom star, most famously of the critically panned but ceaselessly popular Gilligan's Island, which ran from 1964 to 1967 and is still in reruns; of cancer; in Winston-Salem, N.C. He won over teenagers in the late 1950s as the goateed, bongo-playing beatnik Maynard G. Krebs ("Wooork?!?") in TV's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, but the deft physical comedian found a cult following as Gilligan, a well-intentioned but inept first mate on the wrecked S.S. Minnow...
