The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from 1959 to 1963.

Krebs, struggles against the forces of his life - high school, the military, college, and his parents - as he aspires to attain both wealth and dates with girls.

Creator Shulman also wrote the theme song in collaboration with Lionel Newman.
