Dobie Gillis closing 2

[fromthesidelines]

Now that I think of it, the "Sponsor's Message" at 2:57 would have actually been a brief ten second reminder to watch one of Marlboro's other sponsored series {i.e. "Marlboro also brings you "ROUTE 66"- Friday night, over most of these stations"}.

Cool commercial!

[TrueTalkTV]

Oh wow. This is from the ORIGINAL broadcast, too. You can tell by the commercial, the "brought to you by", and the CBS thing at the end.

What episode is this from, btw? It looks like it might've been good! lol I've never seen Dobie talk to Thalia like that LOL.

Dwayne Hickman always seemed like he was doing a Jack Benny inpersonation.

WARREN BEATTY who amazed America with

his ability to find SPLENDOR IN THE

GRASS!

[Juliaflo]

Pop quiz time--what actor who went onto later fame had an early appearance in this show?

I hope your answer has a lot of 'splendor'.

Oh, man...that was Tuesday Weld in the beginning! What a knockout!

I've love to see this on TV again. Dobie was usually after Tuesday. But when he wasn't, he was after a very young Yvonne Craig!

ah yes... when cigarettes were good for you !

I don't know why, 'EA'- this could have been a summer repeat from 1960; during the regular season, the closing credits would have had Marlboro packs {regular pack and/or "Flip-Top Box"} or the Pillsbury logo in the lower left-hand corner of the screen [the sponsor's custom of the period], instead of the "two hearts" used in syndicated off-network prints of the show.

@fromthesidelines

That would be about right because they also continued to use that particular 20th Century Fox TV logo until the following season which was then changed to the same logo that has been used in their films for years.

[fromthesidelines]

Marlboro {not "Winston"} was the show's "alternate sponsor", with Pillsbury, in 1959-'60. The "Sponsor's Message" tag at 2:57 would normally have been filled this way: "Next week, 'THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS' will be brought to you by Pillsbury- {the famous Pillsbury jingle would follow here, perhaps with "Dobie" eating a slice of cake on-screen}...".

Interesting. Any thought on why this clip has a generic tag at the end?

Also, thank you for noting my error in the description.
