Dobie Gillis Reunions
A one-off special, Whatever Happened To Dobie Gillis? screened by CBS on 10 May 1977, showed Dobie, now 40, in partnership with his father in the grocery business. Dobie is married to Zelda and they have a 16-year-old son, Georgie, at high school, while Maynard has become a successful businessman. Work!? Say it ain't so!

In 1988 the gang returned to television for "Bring Me the Head of Dobie Gillis". In this TV movie we find a middle aged Dobie, who actually married reliable Zelda who chased him all through high school, and he runs the store just like his father. Their son Georgie was still in High School apparently they forgot to age him. Connie Stevens played Zelda this time around.

The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis theme song lyrics

Dobie, wants a little cutie,
Dobie, wants a little beauty,
Dobie want a gal to call his own
Any size, any style, any eyes, any smile, any Jean, any Jane, nay Joan.

Oh Dobie, wants a girl who is dreamy,
Dobie, wants a girl who's creamy,
Dobie, wants a girl to call his own.
Is she blond, is she tall, is she dark, is she small, Is she any kinda dreamboat at all
No matter, he's hers and hers alone.

Maynard could never say the word "work" in a normal tone of voice, or with out getting upset. That's exactly how I feel.
