As someone who likes both
and has had the pleasure to meet most of the cast before they died...I can say that there is not a debate. They both were pleasant and nice. To me anyways. So...why not both?
I met Russell Johnson and spent an hour talking to him. He was a true gentleman with his time and comments. We also talked about The Twilight Zone (another favorite of mine).
I spent five to ten minutes with Tina Louise and she was very pleasant too. I didn't bring up the show. She did. She met my wife and chuckled and said something like- did I finally win one between me and Dawn? My wife is a redhead. I told her it was probably my favorite show as a kid (I only saw it on reruns after school) and that we went to the marina on our honeymoon in Hawaii.
I was in Bob Denver's presence for 10 minutes and that was 11 minutes too long. He was not a nice man. Reminded me of Gary Burghof. Just bitter and unpleasant.
Dawn was also very nice and I chatted with her for about 15 minutes. We talked about the show. The characters. The actors, the friends on the show, etc...
I have pictures of me with all of them somewhere but I have moved about 10 times or more since then. I do have signed copies of all of their books about the shows (if they wrote one). I know I have the Russell Johnson one in my shipment that is coming here soon.
