I used to watch this late night during 1982. I am amazed it's not on Metv. I always liked the starting jingle and animation of it. Rose Marie should have made alot of LPs. She sang great.
Rose Marie was working on a movie, dancing & singing. I think it was the producer, propositioned her. When she became angry and told him where to go all her performances were cut out. She became an advocate for women.
I'm a year older than you and this show was probably the first tv show I learned to like - as I look back I realize we watched whatever my mom liked after supper - I consider myself lucky because she liked the twilight zone as well as dobie gillis - there was no problem catching batman every tuesday and wednesday, or was it tuesday and thursday, but I had to learn about the monkees from friends at school - mom didn't like the monkees
I also loved "The Adventure of Ozzie & Harriet," especially the early and middle years, when David & Ricky Nelson's characters (the older & wiser big bro Dave, and the happy-go-lucky and sarcastic Ricky) were still living with their parents. Harriet was the wise-cracking mother whose intuition seemed to guide the family through most problems ensued, but still carefree enough to join her husband and kids in musical numbers.
I loved the 'Many Loves of Dobie Gillis' as it touched on so many issues: love, friendship, loyalty, decency, and even the counter culture world which Maynard represented. Growing up is such a confusing time (especially the teen years) and Dobie was a voice of sanity out there that addressed those teenage concerns in such a cool and magical way. God bless you Dobie Gillis and you too Maynard!!!
Well talkin to the camera he's spilling his heart out with what he is going through with all these dilemmas in his life. Well with the video degeneration over the decades doesn't do justice doby's cute face. I couldn't understand his short blonde haircut I would think he'd have some wavy hair. I remember seeing only jocks sporting crewcuts in those days.
@@rickrick5041 Well sort of a voice of sanity as he would lead us through his thought process at least, even if it was a disaster...much better than the dialogs on tv and in modern day cinema? I am a fan rick so don't be cruel okay? :)
I have fond memories watching this show as a 9 year old. Seeing it as an adult, I can appreciate the great writing and characters. This was an especially good episode...thanks for posting.
What a great show, I loved it as a kid 8yrs old and enjoy the reruns so much now. I like how Dobie talks to the camera. Thank you for posting episodes of the great funny show!
@@georgeplagianos6487 That was funny how George would talk to the camera and he also had a tv in his office that he would turn on and listen in on what Gracie was up to. It was a very funny element in the show.
"It's only you Maynard!" was a household buzz phrase in my house while growing up, and what episode do I stumble on today? Maynard was like a pet my family adopted, as my "must" at watching the show as a kid, became a family event.
www.imdb.com/title/tt0734584/ Robert Cummings was a pretty good actor. I'm surprised he didn't have more exposure like a Dick Van Dyke or Andy Griffith. One of his best shows was "King Nine Will Not Return," an episode of the Twilight Zone. First eerie feeling I ever got watching a TV show involving the disappearance of an aircraft.
what a wonderful show for its time. Dwayne Hickman and bob Denver just did a great job working off each other. I hope that asst some point a new updated version of this show can have new life and goes on Netflix. with new comedic situations
There was no character like Maynard on a sitcom then. He was unique and Denver was uniquely funny. Also no character like the father of Dobie and he was funny too
I agree with you about the "good, clean fun" being in short supply in TV comedy today, though. Most sitcoms are written for adults. If I had any children, I would not let them watch most of the sitcoms today, at least not any younger children.
I was very young when DOBIE GILLIS was on TV but loved the comedy then. It much more simple then compared to the crap we have on TV now. I saw Dwayne Hickman on Murder she wrote with Angela Lansbury the other day too. They were nice simple mystery shows back then and brings back good memories too.
Rick, of course, shared his folks' love of music, having a side career (that became his sole career) on his own rock & roll terms, becoming the model for the "teen idol" in the process.
@@hazelchief-rabbit5903 I have had it on my android smartphone, for approx 2yrs now with no problems at all. Having said that, I do not know how it would work on your desktop. I hope it does for you, as there are a lot of good tv and movies from the past. Take care
This was like the 1st season and Tuesday Weld hadn't entered the picture yet. Dobie was such a great show. Brilliant satirical humor from Rod Amateau. 7:35 Love the lines from Sherry Jackson: "Him! The boy who was just dragged out of here. The one with the blond hair and the weak chin. I knew that the minute I saw him. That's why I want him. He unformed...flexible...pliable. The kind I can mold and shape to fit my own taste. Give me the namby-pambys every time." Funny, FUUNNNY stuff!
Ozzie was the father who seemed a "stay-at-home" dad before that was an economic alternative in homes with working moms, although implied he did sometimes go to an office or had a legal background (as in real life), and a past with a musical background as well (also from reality, Ozzie an orchestra leader, Harriet his band's vocalist).
I just realized the girl Mignonne is Sherry Jackson from "Make Room for Daddy" she was Danny Thomas's daughter on the show. We watched all these shows.
"Ozzie & Harriet" was more than a family sitcom about and starring an actual American family. In its long-running evolution it became an American institution, a stark contrast between one era of a nuclear family with an Ozzie at its helm and a TV reality series also headed by an Ozzy (of a different spelling), "The Osbornes."
I was a fan of this show too, I guess I was about 9 years old when I used to watch it. I don’t remember this episode though, I guess I didn’t see them all or I just don’t remember.
That series was truly (as "Seinfeld" was falsely claimed to be) the first sitcom "about nothing," many episodes having these clever, convoluted sub-plots involving trivial, everyday matters to which the typical family could relate; sometimes with a wink & a nod breaking the fourth wall, and some inventive camerawork and fantasy sequences. All that, plus Ricky's fantastic rockabilly numbers with guitar virtuoso James Burton as his sideman.
As a kid I saw this and couldn't wait for high school. If all the girls looked like Tuesday Weld., I'm going to LOVE high school. Until my older cousins set me straight. Still liked the show WCAU Channel 10 Phila, Pa.
And, oh yes, the matinee idol good looks of both Nelson brothers didn't hurt this series' 14-years' run either. In real life, Dave inherited his dad's facilities for business and film production, as well athletic abilities (joining a traveling circus trapeze troupe at one stage of his life, incorporated with his acting in the film "The Big Circus").
From what I have watched, though, "The Middle" is relatively kid-friendly, as well maybe the Joey Lawrence-Melissa Hart sitcom "Melissa & Joey" on ABC Family. From discussion of this very topic with another friend, I found the kid-friendly comedies are mostly airing on Disney and Nickelodeon or Teen Nick. So even if you find the major network's and cable's sitcoms too risqué, I would try Disney and Nickelodeon's channels. The problem there is the shows may be too juvenile for your tastes.
No, there are not many writers of television who write in the style as when series' such as "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" were airing. But there are still many clever writers of TV series' today. And some TV series' of the past don't seem as funny or well written as we tend to remember them.
My Top 10 TV sitcoms of the more recent decades are: "Frasier," "Seinfeld," "The Golden Girls," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The Middle," "Last Man Standing," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "The Nanny," "Two & A Half Men" (Charlie Sheen episodes only), and "The Big Bang Theory." I'd give honorable mention to "King of Queens," "Still Standing" and "That '70s Show."
What (if you have any) are your favorite TV sitcoms of the last three decades (the 1990s, the 2000s, the current decade of the 2010s), after what you seem to think were the decades of better television--the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s?
yes, He was the original beatnik... Bob Denver was a comic genius in my opinion....there is segment with Pat Boone with Bob Denver teaching him the jive talk...Bob Denver went directly from this to Gilligan's Island.....Denver was one of the few to create TWO iconic characters
hello from 2020. pretty good show. a 1960's thing during the eisenhower reign... changes about to come... tuli kupferberg (the fugs) would say 2008, before he died in 2010, "nobody who lived thru the (19)50's thought the 60's could have existed, so there's always hope."
terry head I have read - not sure if it's true - that they wanted to be sure that the audience knew Dwayne Hickman was not playing the same character he had been on "The Bob Cummings Show". People proved well aware of that fact, and when Dwayne's hair started to thin from the bleach, they let him grow it out naturally.
I did enjoy the warmer family sitcoms and dramedies, ones with a small moral to each episode--such as "Father Knows Best," "Leave it to Beaver," "The Donna Reed Show," "Hazel," "Family Affair," and the ABC years of "My Three Sons," the latter of which was better written and directed (by Peter Tewksbury, who also directed "Father Knows Best"), played like Disney features, especially since they co-starred Fred MacMurray, Tim Considine, and Don Grady.
I never much cared for "Gilligan's Island," and never found Bob Denver's characters (of "Gilligan" or "Maynard G. Krebs") funny, just stupid. I am similarly inclined toward the "Kramer" character on "Seinfeld." I guess I just find physical comedy boring, prefer the cleverness of language, as well overall characterization. But, for the latter reasons, I did enjoy "Dobie" himself, as well his parents, his teachers, and some of girlfriends and nemeses.
Among the sitcoms I somewhat enjoyed as a kid, but don't as an adult, are "The Beverly Hillbillies," "Green Acres," "The Munsters," "I Dream Of Jeannie," and all but the first two seasons of "Bewitched."
Dobie is a LOT like a young Jack Benny. I never noticed, before. And Rose Marie isn't wearing her traditional black bow in her hair. She started wearing it when her husband died. Guess that he was still with her, then.
Dwayne copied his mannerisms from Jack Benny when Dwayne was doing the Bob Cummings show. Jack would visit the set and teach Dwayne about perfect comic timing
Sentimental though we are for some older TV series', many of them simply don't stand the test of time, written for a fourth grade reading level. Seriously, watch an episode of "Gilligan's Island" or "The Beverly Hillbillies" back-to-back with a currently-produced series such as "The Big Bang Theory" or "Last Man Standing," or at least a more recent series such as "Everybody Loves Raymond," and see if you may honestly find the older sitcoms better written and funnier than the more recent series'.
