Sherwood Schwartz's career began under decidedly un-legendary circumstances, however. A young college student in need of funds, he drummed up some extra cash by writing jokes for comedian Bob Hope's radio show, which his brother was a staffer for.It wasn't long before Hope noticed his jokes, and he was asked to join Hope's writing staff. From then on, Schwartz's chosen career was comedy. He wrote for TV shows like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet before going on to his most famous work, creating the TV sitcoms Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch. These shows, while never popular among critics, were huge hits, and continue to be popular in reruns, reunion specials, and movies to this very day. In 2011, Schwartz passed away of old age, but his legacy in TV comedy continues into the future.
