DOBIE GILLIS was always an entertaining show, mostly due to the marvelous cast. Any episode that gave significant screen time to Herbert T. Gillis ranked as a fave. Hence, I remember "Deck the Halls" well (plus, it's got "The Man", too...but no Chico). I don't remember the CHRISTMAS CAROL (the pic of an older Zelda is disturbing), so I'll be watching "Jangle Bells" when it airs. Ditto for the wonderfully titled "Have Reindeer, Will Travel."Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-17189892641415203052015-11-17T10:39:25.605-05:002015-11-17T10:39:25.605-05:00Hobbyfan queried:

That bleach job wasn't Hickman's idea, by the way; he hated it, but the <b><i>Dobie</i></b> creators wanted him to look different from the kid he played on <b><i>Love That Bob</i></b>.Ivan G Shreve Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067177808320053382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-49480843833371527722015-11-17T10:33:35.801-05:002015-11-17T10:33:35.801-05:00When did Dwayne Hickman take the bleach out of his...When did Dwayne Hickman take the bleach out of his hair, since he was dark haired at the end of Dobie's run?<br /><br />I recently acquired a 6-ep DVD compilation, Merry Sitcom, from Movies Unlimited.
