i have the vaguest recollection of seeing it (once or twice) in reruns later on nick at nite. late 80s, early 90s.

lets see. dobie started out in high school for the first season and a half before joining the army for the remainder of season two before entering college for the final two seasons.

first season foils include tuesday weld and warren beatty.

only thinking rodan did was how to defeat godzilla. the sculptor was rodin.

and, of course, strike one and two on beatnik.

rerun seems to be the operative term bur re-run has some legs. i was inclined in that direction.

interesting (?) that dobies hair got darker as the show went on. wonder what the thinking was behind the change. maybe it signaled a maturation or it was just a pain to bleach it.

ask and ye shall recede

Hickman was so associated with his previous character that production required him to bleach his brown hair blond—a decision that was reversed for seasons two, three, and four, after the bleaching treatment started taking chunks out of Hickman’s hairline.

Incorrect spelling counts as a strike?

if incorrect spellings were strikes then id have to include krebs, progressively and modeled. only misspellings of beatnik were strikes.
