Warren Beatty and Tuesday Weld aren’t the...

Warren Beatty and Tuesday Weld aren’t the only reasons for watching “Dobie Gillis,” but if they get you hooked on this show, that’s just fine.

The show, originally called “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis” is new to the Nick at Night schedule, airing Monday-Friday at 8 p.m. on Nickelodeon.

Beatty and Weld, of course, went on to bigger and better things, but back in 1959, they weren’t too important to co-star with the not-so-glamorous Dwayne Hickman in a silly sitcom.

Teen-ager Dobie is like most people: He wants a lot more than he gets. He wants the beautiful Thalia Menninger (Weld), but we know he’ll wind up with the plain but adoring Zelda Gilroy. He wants to have tons of money, but we know he’ll wind up as a working stiff.

He could have it a lot worse. He has a faithful, beatnik friend named Maynard G. Krebs who has a strange reaction whenever he hears the word (“work?!”). He has a sweet mom and a hard-headed but good-hearted dad. And, after all, he does have his own TV show.

Although Beatty-who plays Dobie’s rival, Milton Armitage-and Weld left the series in 1960, other then-unknowns can be spotted throughout the series, including Ryan O’Neal, Sally Kellerman, Ellen Burstyn and Jo Anne Worley.
