holy fuck i found the first four seasons of dobie gillis on the torrents
this is actually kind of a holy grail for me-- it's a gold mine of lost 50s culture, not to mention a trope mother for scooby doo and a ton of other "four kids and a mascot" shows. it's even-- modestly and very timidly-- countercultural in places.
also if you don't feel anything at all for zelda gilroy then you probably don't feel anything at all for velma dinkley and while i wouldn't say i don't want to know you, i don't think i will ever truly understand anyone who doesn't have it at least a little for velma

@JulieSqveakaroo Maynard was the best Bad Influence. <3 You could tell the writers were secretly rooting for him, same way you could tell Nathaniel Hawthorne was secretly rooting for the pagans...

Maynard was why I bought a set of bongos as my first drum.

I liked the show until the draft came.
re: rather old media, stuff nobody cares about but me, cultural archival/hoarding
@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, I have vague memories of an "in the army" season. I'm actually kinda eager to watch the show's failures, too, so I'm excited. XD

To me, it wasn't good... as in, I'd have preferred to watch GomerPyle for faux-military jokes... but, the I was also bored to tears when PerryMason was on, and now I'd LOVE to watch more of that, so... take it as you will...

I rehashed my bebop explanation elsenet and yet it wasn't until someone pointed out the Maynard Krebs connection that I finally realized why it sounds like bongos when Scooby and Shaggy start to run.
In the show that I contributed a piece of art to and just got to listen to last night, the actor for Zaphod Beeblebrox chose a raspy sort of Maynard/Shaggy characterization. Inherently lacks the projected confidence one would expect, but still a very interesting choice, as the original did employ a fair amount of beatnik slang.

@zebratron2084
Maynard is, like, an experience, man...
