Dobie Gillis was one of the strangest sitcoms on television at the time.

“Dobie Gillis was one of the strangest sitcoms on television at the time.”

It was the first television series I saw where the actor, “broke the 4th wall.” You know, when an actor disengages from the prepared script and directly address the TV audience and explains something. George Burns was the only other actor I can remember doing this .. .

For some reason I really liked the absurdity of it all .. .
