You must be young. Dobie Gillis, Maynard G Krebs and Zelda.
YES, I remember them and even Zelda Gilroy, super brain. She had the hots for Dobie--small, brunette with a perky pony tail. It was fun. I liked "dad" the best, crusty old codger with a head on his shoulders. He had the family grocery store.
Ah me, those were the days. Thalia Menniger, super cute, stereotype dumb blonde, was Dobie's dream. Fat chance.
