The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from 1959 to 1963. The series and several episode scripts were adapted from a 1951 collection of short stories of the same name, written by Max Shulman, who had also written a feature film adaptation of his short stories for MGM in 1953, The Affairs of Dobie Gillis. The series revolved around the life of teenager/young adult Dobie Gillis, who, along with his best friend, beatnik Maynard G. Dwayne Hickman and Bob Denver lead a cast that never overplays a joke. The series ran for 4 seasons (1959–1963), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What keeps The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands.
