The previous posts were about Ed Sullivan not afraid to put minorities performers on his show.
The picture of Bad Bunny, who is expected to be the half-time Super Bowl show, has the expected folks in their reliable outrage because of the choice of half-time performer.

Bob Denver spent four decades trying to outgrow a character the world refused to forget.

When Gilligan’s Island premiered in 1964, he was 29, a trained actor with a degree in political science and an instinct for timing that made slapstick look effortless. Within months, his goofy grin and sailor hat became one of the most recognizable images on American television. The problem was, it never came off.

After Gilligan’s Island ended in 1967 after just 98 episodes, Denver tried everything to prove he was more than a castaway. He took theater roles, guest-starred in dramas, even voiced cartoons. But casting directors couldn’t see past the coconut radio. One executive told him bluntly, “You’re Gilligan. That’s it.”

The fame that once lifted him became a leash. He earned almost nothing from reruns, the cast had no residual rights in their contracts while the show played endlessly in syndication. He was so broke at one point that he sold memorabilia to cover rent. “You get famous once,” he said later, “and it’s forever, even when the checks stop.”

Yet Denver never turned bitter. When fans shouted “Little buddy!” across parking lots, he waved back. He visited children’s hospitals in costume, telling kids jokes to distract them from chemo. He reunited with the Gilligan cast for charity events, never charging fees. In the late ’80s, he and his wife Dreama left Los Angeles for Princeton, West Virginia, opening a small radio station where they hosted a local morning show. On air, he spoke softly — about kindness, small-town life, and the strange beauty of being remembered for something silly.

Asked once if he resented being trapped by one role, he smiled and said, “If people remember you for making them laugh, you did something right.”

Bob Denver never escaped Gilligan but he learned to wear that red shirt like armor instead of chains.

He showed the world that grace isn’t about reinvention. It’s about gratitude, even when the applause never changes tune.

Denver passed in 2005.

Lynde: "Makeup? Capped teeth? Loud sports jackets?"
