Editorial Reviews

Based on characters created by Max Shulman, this CBS comedy aired from 1959 to 1963. Dwayne Hickman starred as typical teenager Dobie, a grocer's son who continually sought the attention of the opposite sex. Bob Denver was Dobie's beatnik sidekick Maynard G. Krebs, and first-season regulars included Tuesday Weld as gorgeous classmate Thalia Menninger and Warren Beatty as wealthy rival Milton Armitage. This is Volume One: The series debut has Dobie plotting a "Caper at the Bijou" to earn cash for his date with Thalia. Then, Thalia must decide who "The Best Dressed Man" is when Dobie and Milton compete for her attention. Mel Blanc guest stars. 50 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; scene access. Plays All Regions.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor value for money, May 15, 2006

This review is from: The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis, Vol. 1 (DVD)

A great 50's show, perhaps the prototye for "The 70's Show", a series with the beautiful golddigging goddess Thalia Menninger (Tuesday Weld), Maynard G Krebs ("Work!" Bob Denver, aka Gilligan), clothes-hound Milton Armitage (Warren Beatty), dwarfish Zelda Gilroy (propinquity) and let's not forget the rich Chatsworth Osborne Jr (Family motto "Never dip into Capital").

However for $18+ you get only 2 twenty-five minute (without commercials) episodes.
Poor value for the money.

Only two episodes for 18.99, what a joke. This show has numerous episodes and you'll go broke trying to add them to your collection at these prices. I don't know whose the greedy one but someone certainly is.

The other two reviewers are not complaing about the programs themselves but rather the expense of buying one NEW volume containing only two episodes each. The programs are still great to watch and when you can find them used at a better price, how can these complaints still be valid? I have volumes 1-6 and enjoy them over and over. This was the first program in television history that foccused on teenagers. To go back in time and view these characters and situations that nearly all babay boomers watched, learned and laughed at, is a pure joy! My advice, buy them at the used price when they're available and you won't have a single complaint but only fun in unwrapping these gems of nostalgia!
