Dobie Gillis closing 2

[@owejay7981]

So far, this is the only footage of Bob Scobey I can find. Nice to see. Thanks for posting this.

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!

Probable "Sponsor's Message" tag inserted at 2:57- "Marlboro also brings you 'PERRY MASON"- Saturday night, over most of these stations."

On the DVD set released on July 2, some of the episodes still have the sponsor's product logos (Marlboro, Pillsbury, Halo shampoo, Colgate, etc.) in the closing credits.

It's "The Power of Positive Thinking", episode 1.20 from Feb. 16, 1960.

Cool commercial!

[@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"}.

That would be Warren Beatty, who played spoiled rich boy Milton Armitage. When Beatty left, the role was replaced by Stephen Franklin as Chatsworth (you nasty boy) Osborne III and his mother, the imperious Doris Packer.

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}...".

Why did they applaud on TV shows? Who was listening? (I guess a holdover from radio).

[@RusstheTroubadour]

Bob Scobey ..Died from cancer on June 12 1963 (one week after the final DOBIE GILLIS episode) "Hey Bob how about another MARLBORO ..cough, cough "

[@fromthesidelines]

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.

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'.

[@cdgates1]

Juliaflo Warren Beatty

[@Juliaflo]

That's right.

[@RusstheTroubadour]

Was DOBIE GILLIS filmed before a studio audience?

[@bobjersey]

"WCBS-TV, New York."

[@plutoplatters]
