From your link -

About The Professor's comical obliviousness to Ginger, Mary Ann and various female guest stars' advances, Johnson said they definitely kept his character "asexual" on purpose.
"They didn't want anything going on in the show that had anything to do with sex, in the cast," he explained. "They kept him a guy who didn't really know what was going on. They brought Zsa Zsa Gabor in once for the show, and she makes a play for The Professor. She was all over him. And he's talking about [butterflies] and flora and fauna."

Was in some horribly great B movies.


Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, was "This Island Earth", which he starred in. Loaded with great Gilligan's Island reference jokes ftr.

There's # 2.

Who will be # 3, as don't they all die in threes?

I weep for my childhood memories of both...

Miracle he survived this long. According to Danny Bounaduce, the guy was drank like a fish and his house was a true Hollywood den of debauchery.
