The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.
Starring Dwayne Hickman as Dobie, an easily lovestruck teenage boy cursed with frequent unrequited love and lower middle-class parents, and Bob Denver as his best friend Maynard G.
Krebs, a genuine beatnik (look it up, kids), the series offered a rare intelligent look at the lives of teenagers, their angst, and culture of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. From the IMDb:It’s a grand shame that very few people these days remember this fine sitcom about teenage life in the early 60s. Dwayne Hickman is endearing as simple-minded Dobie Gillis, the typical American teenager, who just wants a girl. Bob Denver is brilliant as his buddy, Maynard G. Krebs. Sheila James is fantastic as Zelda…always chasing after Dobie….
