The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis is a situation comedy that ran on CBS in the USA from 1959–1963. The television series and some episode scripts were adapted from a 1951 collection of short stories of the same name, written by Max Shulman, that also inspired the 1953 film The Affairs of Dobie Gillis with Debbie Reynolds, Bob Fosse, and Bobby Van as Dobie Gillis. A follow-up novel, I Was a Teen-Age Dwarf, appeared in 1959. This program was from Martin Manulis Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television; creator Shulman also wrote the theme song in collaboration with Lionel Newman.
