Well those of us a certain age will certainly remember Dwayne Hickman and his TV show The Many Loves of Dobie Gills. Not to mention his sidekick Maynard G. Krebbs.

Made me feel a little old today hearing of this, one of my favorite shows as a kid. Also featured Tuesday Weld, Stephen Franken, as Chatsworth Osborne, Jr., and a young Warren Beatty as Milton Armitage. And certainly don't forget Dobie's steady girlfriend Zelda Gilroy.

Adios Dwayne and thanks for all the entertainment.

Saget was #1. Dobie, #2.

One of my family’s favorite shows when I was very young. Just watched him in the Burt Reynold’s movie Sharkey’s Machine Friday night.

We didn’t get TV until 1965, so I didn’t see that show, but I have a copy of the Max Shulman stories around here somewhere.

I certainly remember that show. It came on after Dennis The Menance and before Ozzie & Harriet.

Thanks for posting. Condolences to families and friends of both men.

Chatsworth Osborne, Jr., was Rush Limbaugh’s nickname for Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson.

”Stephen Franken, as Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.”

Rush Limbaugh’s uncomplimentary nickname for a young Tucker Carlson…

Who can forget Zelda?

"Well those of us a certain age will certainly remember Dwayne Hickman..."

I do. We watched it every week. I doubt today's generation ever heard of Beatniks.

[PROCON]

Yeah, I’m 70 and remember his show, RIP Dobie/Dwayne.

A sad loss. I loved Dobie Gillis. Never knew he was in “The Grapes of Wrath.”

[Adder]

Loved that show

I was very young when the show was on, and have only a hazy remembrance of it.

We are certainly feeling the effects of "Zelda" to this day in California - the odious Sheila Kuehl.

The book, by Max Shulman, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, was on my daughter's high school reading list - I couldn't find it anywhere except on the secondary market - and it wasn't cheap. The teacher was really impressed. I read it myself and LOVED it. Looks like it's been reprinted now and is available for $7.99 on Amazon.

My copy looked like this:

And has since disappeared....
