I was this far away from a black-and-white TV on University Place. It felt like I was born there. I was raised by a black-and-white RCA TV. Rod Serling. Bill Shatner. Hogan’s Heroes and Gilligan’s Island.

What was your favourite childhood tv show? Well, I had a lot. I loved the 3 Stooges, the Little Rascals, The TWILIGHT ZONE, the Honeymooners, you know, and then things like Gilligan's Island... yeah, I would say those, yeah.

But I do look back over the years and I think of all the people that I admired when I was a child, and they were all redheads: Ginger from Gilligan’s Island.

Earliest TV memory? I remember a couple of things. I remember that if I walked home at a certain pace I wouldn't miss Gilligan's Island. If I dilly-dallied or walked too slowly it would start without me.
