		Just before the Dobie show ended its run in 1962, Maynard recorded his legendary "Like, What?" album.

		national TV, Maynard G. Krebs, Dobie Gillis's best friend on the TV series "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis".
		In honor of Maynard, Dobie, Zelda, Milton Armitage, and the entire "Dobie Gillis" gang, we'd like to pay homage to their era of beatniks, coffee houses, and the bongo beat, by having our own "Really Bad Poetry" Contest.

	TV's Gilligan dies after cancer battle - 09/07/05
		True Denver fans recall him as Maynard G. Krebs, the slacker beatnik the actor made famous on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis."
		Although Denver passed away Friday at age 70 from complications from treatments he was receiving for cancer, he will live on forever as Gilligan and Maynard thanks to the power and immortality of reruns.
		Prior to landing his role as Maynard, Denver held down several jobs as a mailman and later a history and math teacher.

	The archetype of the inept but lovable slacker. By Dana Stevens
		Like Maynard G. Krebs, Gilligan was an endearing if hopelessly inept dreamer—in fact, 11 of the show's episodes were structured around Gilligan's dreams, in which he imagined himself, Walter Mitty-style, as a prince, a vampire, a caveman, or a secret agent.
		The character was nearly written out of the show four episodes in, when Denver suffered the un-Krebs-like fate of being drafted; after failing his physical, he returned to the series for the rest of its run.
		Correction, Sept. 12, 2003: The original version of this article erroneously stated that Bob Denver was "drafted for the Vietnam War." He was drafted in 1959, which was several years before the United States became fully involved in the prosecution of the war.

	In a Vast Wasteland, One Man's Island of Humor
		Denver, who died Friday at age 70, was unforgettably Gilligan, he of the eponymously named "Gilligan's Island." Before that, perhaps less memorably because of the spottiness of TV syndication, he was the prototypical bearded beatnik slacker Maynard G. Krebs on the late-1950s sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis."
		Denver's one real-life bridge to Maynard may have been his arrest, while he was 63, for possession of marijuana.
		Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy castaway Gilligan on the 1960's TV show "Gilligan's Island" made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, died at the age of 70.

	New York Daily News - Entertainment - Goodbye, Gilligan
		Bob Denver starred in 'Gilligan's Island' and as Maynard G. Krebs in 'The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.'
		Born in New Rochelle, Denver graduated from Loyola University in Los Angeles and worked as a mailman and a high school history and math teacher before he answered an open audition call for Krebs and beat out several hundred other actors for the role.
		Bob Denver, who played the lovably cartoonish title character on the 1960s TV sitcom "Gilligan's Island" and parlayed that role into comfortable cult celebrity, died Friday at Wake Forest University Hospital in North Carolina.

	Beat generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A classic example of the beatnik image is the character Maynard G. Krebs played by Bob Denver on the Dobie Gillis television show that ran from 1959 to 1963.
		The term beat generation was introduced by Jack Kerouac in approximately 1948 to describe his social circle to the novelist John Clellon Holmes (who published an early novel about the beat generation, titled Go, in 1952, along with a manifesto of sorts in the New York Times Magazine: "This is the beat generation").
		The Beats in general were a large influence on members of the new "counterculture", for example, in the case of Bob Dylan who became good friends with Allen Ginsberg.

	The Good Guys
		The comedy on Good Guys wasn't the really zaftig slapstick humor of Gilligans Island but was closer to the more wacked out Maynard Krebs on Dobie Gillis.
		I gave the "Guys" a try in their new format, but eventually I switched channels to watch a brand new sitcom called "The Brady Bunch" and so did a lot of other people, because "Good Guys" was canceled in mid-season.
		I have vague, not too unpleasant memories regarding THE GOOD GUYS, a CBS comedy that ran for two seasons starring Bob Denver as Rufus Butterworth and the late Herb Edelman as Bert Gramus.

	History of goatees
		• From 1959 to 1963, the television show Dobie Gillis brought a goateed man by the name of Maynard G. Krebs into millions of American living rooms.
		Goatees are so named because they resemble the beard of a billy goat.
		For them, the goatee was a symbol of their free-spirited nature.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Scooby-Doo
		Ken Spears and Joe Ruby, then working as writers for Hanna-Barbera, fleshed out Silverman's idea, focusing on four young people (one of whom, Shaggy, was strongly reminiscent of the Gillis show's Maynard G. Krebs) and a large dog, traveling around the country in a van, solving mysteries wherever they went.
		Fred Silverman, CBS honcho, was the impetus behind the creation of this long-running and very popular animated series.
		Silverman added the finishing touches, making the dog the star and naming him after a nonsense phrase in Frank Sinatra's version of "Strangers in the Night" — Scooby-Doo.

	The Maynard G. Krebs Page
		Maynard's character was created by Max Shulman specifically for the TV show.
		(When Bob Denver asked Shulman why Maynard wasn't in either of the books, Shulman would only reply "Because I wanted to sell a few copies!") But it was Denver himself who fleshed the character out, mainly because the writers had no idea what beatniks were really like.
		Actually Denver didn't know anything about them either -- he'd been a Catholic school teacher when he landed the part!

	Tim Blair: SHE WAS EXPECTING THE MOVIE STAR
		Gilligan will always be Maynard G. Krebs to me, I thought The Professor was a twit, and I wasn't interested in the lifestyles of Mary Ann or Ginger.
		Skipper had a lobster restaurant on La Cienega's "Restaurant Row" in the 1970's, or at least lent his face and name to one and was there a lot as a "Greeter" kind of like the old fighters in Vegas.
		The Skipper's FATHER, Alan Hale Sr., was a famous Warner Bros contract player--he was always the burly guy behind Errol Flynn in the fight scenes and his son looked alot like him though Hale Sr.

	The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis - Nostalgia Central
		The show (based on the writings of Max Shulman) also featured Bob Denver (later to star in Gilligan's Island) as the ultimate beatnik, Maynard G Krebs.
		Dobie was the archetypal middle-class, girl-crazy high-school teenager (his age was brought down in the jump from the page to the box because the TV boffins didn't think the public would buy such adolescent behaviour from a college student - perhaps they never went to college!).
		Dobie's life was far from smooth and the same could be said for the goings on behind the scenes on the set.

		His partner in crime was beatnik Maynard G. Krebs (played by Bob Denver); to say he missed the point on many things would be putting it mildly.
		As a high school student Dobie still lived at home with his parents in the show's early years, and his interaction with his parents was a source of much of the humor.
		Dobie's two main antagonists were popular rich kids Milton Armitage (portrayed by a young Warren Beatty) and, after Beatty's departure, Armitage's cousin Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.

	Public Figures with Excess Air
		Adept at portraying characters with eccentric personalities, he played Maynard G. Krebs, a worldly-wise, goateed beatnik who responded to any mention of labor with a falsetto screech, "work!" in "The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis," 1959.
		Dobie Gillis ran four seasons and he took off a year before reappearing as the befuddled Gilligan in "Gilligan's Island" 1964-67.
		The series was a hit for three years before phasing into endless reruns.

	The Lively Set presents an exclusive interview with Dwayne Hickman - tv's Dobie Gillis
		And so too were the show's innovative characters, especially Dobie's best friend Maynard G. Krebs, the dishevelled pre-hippie beatnik with an aversion to work ("WORK!?!!") who challenged the status quo and prefaced most phrases with the word "like", unconsciously previewing 1990s hip lingo.
		Dwayne Hickman, aka Dobie Gillis, perches on a stool in the courtyard studio of his Santa Monica home expertly applying paint to a canvas.
		After shooting the last season of Dobie Gillis in 1963 Dwayne returned to movies but, apart from the critically acclaimed Cat Ballou, few served to stretch his considerable talents as a comedian.

		One outstanding aspect of the Dobie Gillis TV show was its incredibly hip jazz score written by the late Lionel Newman.
		So now, for the first time anywhere, have a listen to the long-lost missing lyrics of the first stanza of The Dobie Gillis Theme Song as never before heard on TV!
